After a few hours, is the coffee HOT, not just warm? I am having a hard time finding a carafe that actually keeps it hot.

My husband is very pleased with our new Copco Carafe. I make him coffee in the early morning and it keeps it hot for several hours ... not piping hot but a lot better than previous carafes we've had.

Yes. I'd say after about 4 hours it's still very hot. Seasoning the carafe by filling with hot water from the faucet for ten minutes helps a lot.

It isn't very hot, it does start cooling down after a few hour's. I too am having trouble finding a carafe that actually keeps the coffee hot.

Yes it keeps it hot if you can get the lid to screw on. You will need a lot of patience.

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.

There is a nice lid for the carafe with a lever to press for dispensing. Coffee will stay hot for about 2 hours with the lid on opposed to the filter top. I have a medium/large women's hand and I can get in there with a kitchen sponge to clean.

My apologies, I don't know. I can tell you that it is hot cup of coffee within about 30 minutes of brewing. After that, it appears that the carafe does not hold temperature very long. I would say about an hour more or less. Aside from that, it does make a good cup of coffee.

Wow... what kind of coffee do you use? I have never had that problem but I only make enough coffee to drink at the moment. I know the heating plate on the unit keeps the coffee hot, so if the coffee is just sitting there for a long while then the water will evaporates and the coffee will start to get a burnt overcooked taste but it does not get weak. I have not had a problem with my unit and even gave one out as a present... and that one is working fine.

For many hours! I just told my husband as I poured it out one evening after dinner, that it was still warm., he said he made it at 4 a.m. I mean it wasn't piping hot at that point, but still warm. It stays nicely hot at least 8-10 hrs.. We LOVE ours. Had it a while now. Like 3 (+) years. *hint* we pre heat it with hot water before pouring the coffee in it.

I think you can be as satisfied with a glass carafe. There is a noted decrease in temperature using the thermo carafe after the third cup. Have you noticed how quick the coffee maker shuts off after brewing? I think that contributes to the reduction in temperature and I have experienced your problem. At times I have just turned on the maker without adding any more water. On other occasions, I have made another pot. The carafe for the thermo pot is difficult to clean. I have tested the temp and it has registered 202 degrees at the first cup. One of the reasons I purchased it.

The problem is that the coffee pot itself is cold and chills the coffee as it is being made. The only way to get hot coffee is to put very hot water in the coffee pot and let the water sit for about 5 minutes warming the carafe -- empty the water and immediately make your coffee. The coffee will be much hotter.

We routinely fill it with very hot water (as we've done with all our coffee carafes for years) before making the coffee. It keeps the coffee hot for at least an hour, which is the longest any of us can stand to have coffee sitting around since we're kind of Nazi-esque about freshness and taste. It's a great coffeemaker - not fancy, but it functions very very well and I'd buy another one (if it would ever wear out!).

Our machine seems to make it hot (hot enough that I can't hold the glass cup bottom). I will say, though, that the FIRST espresso after we turn it on seems cooler than the subsequent attempts (still very warm; just not hot). I imagine there is some water in the lines that isn't heated, but I don't know that.

I returned mine, I had problems with it . It didn't brew at all. There is a warming session right after brewing due to the stainless is may have to be hotter than a glass carafe. A heating light should stay on to warn you it is still hot to prevent injury. If not send it back and choose another.

I just purchased this product and have the same issue with the carafe not keeping the coffee hot. Is my carafe defective? Some users state it keeps their coffee piping hot for up to 3-4 hours, and I find after an hour, the coffee is barely warm.

I have never experienced that. There is a warmer under the canister that the coffee brews into-maybe that is malfunctioning? I have had this coffee maker for years. (Am actually on my second machine) the second cup has always been just as hot as the first. I have heard the company is really good about replacing the machines. Best of luck!

Hmmm Margaret, My subsequent cups are just as hot as the first. It's not going off is it? Mine is set on a 2 hr timer & if I want to keep it hot after that I have to turn the knobs to: Brew & then On & the light will turn red. Otherwise, you may have an issue with it. Hope that helps. :)

I have had no issues with the Carafe leaking. My only issue is that the coffee does not stay hot very long

I'm happy with it. Makes coffee as hot as any Kurick machine. I drink it without adding milk, so I need to sip it at first.If you add milk it should still be hot....but that might be a matter of opinion.

I've never measured exactly, but it is at least several hours. (Alas, my wife tends to prefer to keep the brew-thru-lid on the carafe, because it pours more easily, but that also lets air in and heat out.) With the regular stopper cap it is sometimes still warm (though nowhere near hot enough to drink) the next morning. Some people suggest preheating the carafe with hot water, but I haven't noticed a difference by doing that.
