Does the heating element to keep the carafe warm turn on at all while brewing on the Single serve setting like the newer model does?

No. If brewing on the single-serve setting, the large carafe heating element is off. So if you plan to use both sides on a given morning, you will need to remember to use the single side first. Or learn to enjoy luke-warm coffee.

The carafe warmer does not turn on when the single serve is brewing. I just double checked it, the warmer was cold.

Not that I am aware of, but the carafe did not seem to get hot when using the single serve side only.

No, mine stays on for the entire brew timt.. you might reset your stay warm feature for at least an hour stay warm time

No. Only the glass carafe model includes the warming plate. I've not found it necessary; I've been using mine for 6 months and the coffee still is hot for about 6hrs afterwards, and will still be warm after 18-24hrs.

I have not introduced a heating element and I'm not sure they recommend that. I have poured in some hot water into the porcelain jug first to preheat it which can help to keep the coffee hotter longer.

No, only for the burners that the carafes sit on. Once you initialize it, it always has water which it keeps warm 24/7. This allows the unit to make coffee very quickly. If you unplug it, allow about 10 minutes after you plug it back in before making coffee. Pouring water in the top essentially activates the maker.

No, the plate is simply a base - no heat involved. Carafe will keep coffee hot for several hours, just remember to use the small cap that comes with with it

The brew pause feature isn't working on my brand new coffee maker. My old one developed that problem after a few years of use, but this one seems to be of a lesser quality. I have to use a saucer to catch the drips.Otherwise, it's working fine.

Thermal carafe but the heater turns off before the coffee is fully brewed so it is always lukewarm :(

No, you don't need it, heating element is only on glass carafe model, thermal carafe keeps coffee hot and fresh several hours great machine

Yes... A single cup of coffee is hot as the machine pre-warms for about one minute. The carafe does not stay hot if the warmer place is not on as it is a fairly standard glass carafe. If you don't like the use of a warmer, I recommend getting a insulated coffee vacuum carafe. Alfi makes some great ones that keep coffee warm for eight hours or more. However, I have never noticed a burnt taste imparted by the hotplate on this machine.

No and no. There is no keep warm feature. As soon as the coffee is brewed it shuts itself off. The carafe is lined to keep the coffee hot and it does a great job. I prefer the automatic shut off.

Coffee makers with thermal carafes have no heating elements under the carafe, so using a carafe on a heating element might damage the carafe... and, may not be good for the heat element, either.

Microwave. The heating element that keeps the carafe warm for 2 hours also failed to work consistently. This is an unacceptable coffeemaker and fails in every way. I just replaced with Krups LOVE IT! Good luck.

No.It brews a full or partially full glass carafe. My wife sets hers to 2 cups each morning.

The coffee maker only brews when you pour water into the tank. It does not turn off the pot warmers automatically. You must manually turn the switch to the off position.

My 741.03/A does not have a heated plate underneath. I don't know what the 741 AO has. My model has a metal carafe.

No it does not. The base of the maker is plastic. The brewed and heated coffee is kept in the caraf. It keeps the coffee warm for approxiimately 8-10 hours.
