Is there a plate that keeps the coffee warm in the pot?

There is a warming plate in the unit that keeps the coffee pot warm. There is no warming plate for the one-cup side. Note that I had my unit only a few months when the heating element quit working and I had to get a hole new coffee maker.

There is one that keeps the coffee hot on the 12 cup side, with an automatic shut off after two hours. There is none on the one to one and a half cup side. I have had this item since Feb 2013, use it every day, and sometimes twice a day, and so far have not had any problems with it. I hope this helps you.

No, you can't turn down the warming plate. You could unplug it so it doesn't stay on longer than an hour. But any coffee pot is like that....the warming plate stays on and the coffee gets bad.

There is no hotplate. The carafe is excellent, brews quickly and stays warm for hours. Very good design, we have been very happy with this purchase!

There isn't. But since the coffee comes out so lukewarm, I think you somewhere fairly square in the middle. Really not a fan of this machine.

It is metal. The coffee stays hot for some time because the pot is insulated. I would be afraid the a hot plate would burn the grounds since they are compressed on the bottom of the pot.

No.. there is not, at least not one that I have found. maybe one off the pots would work, or a clear one that ships with other makes.

The carafe is insulated metal and does not need a hotplate to keep it warm. Also note that we have returned our unit because it fails to cycle the lid over the brewer causing all sorts of problems. Until Cuisinart fixes this keep away for buying one.

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

Kinda like a thermos. We are a little disappointed in the length of time it keeps the coffee hot. We are not real big coffee drinkers, tho it keeps the coffee kinda hot for a couple of hours. When the pot quits dripping the coffee the heater shuts off. It is okay for our use.

Yes, the entire pot is metal and it would be possible to leave on a hot plate. From my point of view the coffee would continue to cook. However, the pot is well insulated and will keep the liquid gold warm for a couple of hours. An arrow on the lid - pointed at the spout allows the coffee to be poured, whereas a quarter turn of the arrow closes it and helps to keep the coffee hot over time.

No temp adjust for the hotplate like on the last Cuisinart I owned, but I always had that one on "high" anyway. The coffee is hot. Consumer Reports rates these and a specific Mr. Coffee model in the top because they sustain the proper brewing temp to extract the best flavor from the grounds. There are probably cheaper makers that will be serviceable, but I have had good luck with my last Cuisinart, I prefer a cone filter rather than a basket, I grind my own coffee and this one does offer 4 different brew strengths to fine tune your brew (Reg, Bold, Reg 1-4 cup, Bold 1-4 cup).

No, the base is not a hotplate. This coffee maker uses a thermal carafe. After making coffee, remove the carafe from the coffee maker and place the included lid on it which closes the hole that is used for the coffeemaker to fill the carafe. To keep the coffee hot for a longer time, fill the carafe with hot water and dump it out, put the screw on cap on the carafe, and make your coffee.

I have not heated coffee in the cups but I have reheated using the plates and they do not get hot. I think the cups may as they are thinner than a coffee mug.

We just put ours in a mug and heat it in the microwave. Sorry, can't figure out how to reheat the coffee in the pot without the constant buzzing.

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.

Try the thrift shops - I gave my previous set to Savers (Big Brothers/Big Sisters) and it contained the coffee pot. Good luck!

No the warming plate has no cover but it's great for keeping the food warm!
