anyone have to reheat the mug before putting in coffee to get it to keep coffee hot for long time?

Never. I don't even heat the mug to begin with and coffee stays warm all day!

Any mug will stay hot longer if you "pre-heat" it. If not, the mug takes more heat energy from the fluid to warm up. That means and less heat energy in the fluid which means it cools faster. I always run a few ounces of heated water ( right out of the spigot on the coffee maker) into my mug to warm the mug before i fill it with coffee. It works great and the coffee stays hot for hours.

The coffee is hot but not too hot to sip after pouring a cup. Also, if the carafe leaks around the top, contact Cuisinart and they will replace it. At least they did for me.........

I always fill the thermos with HOT tap water before brewing to get the inside nice and hot. It works great and my coffee stays hot for hours.

Yes. I did experience the same issue with mine. Tried to return the machine but amazon did not allowed me to do so. I dont use the machine any more as the coffee always smells burned.

Although I have had other problems with this coffee maker, I have never had that problem. The coffee is always very hot. There is no button to regulate the temperature of the coffee. You should call the manufacturer. They will send you a box to ship the device to repair. Be prepared to be without it for at least six weeks!

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 just zap my mug with water in it for about a minute, then dump the hot water out and brew into the hot mug, works much better for me. My husband likes the tepid brew though, weirdo.

I had a problem getting it to turn back on after it had shut off. It wanted me to pour water in instead of just turning back on. So I'm not sure if it would reheat old coffee.

I did not have that problem. My problem with this is that it did not keep the coffee hot and it shut itself right away. I consider it not a great carafe that did not have the insulation properties to keep the coffee only "warm." Poor quality control so I returned it before the end of 30 days.

The biggest flaw I found is that the mug is not well insulated and dissipates a lot of heat. I bought a better one at Bed, Bath and Beyond and now my coffee stays hot for hours. What is your specific concern?

Jerry I have never had this happen and owned this mug for many years. When it starts getting coffee stains inside, my wife fills the mug with a mixture of clorox and liquid detergent overnight and it is bright and shiny next morning. RInse out with boliing water and no after taste. Maybe the new mugs have a different O-ring compositon or material in the lid, but never had your problem.Bill

Well...You are welcome...and Congratulations on figuring it out...I strongly suggest pre-warming the carafe with hot water before brewing. That's the only way we get hot coffee from the carafe. ENJOY! Heck, I think I'll go make myself a cup of coffee.

i do leave it in, i make pour over coffee with it, but ony one at a time, and just reboil when i need more. it stays hot for a while, 15 minutes or so, the lid covers most of the top, so it holds heat some, hope this helps...

That doesn't sound normal, unless there's just a tiny bit of coffee left in the pot. Any coffee pot will scorch coffee if only a little bit of coffee is in the pot, but it usually takes much longer than an hour to scorch. I would assume the coffee pot is defective if it's doing this within an hour. I've never heard of being able to turn down the temperature on a warming pad, cause usually it's not needed.

Don't remember sent it packing. Coffee was not hot enough probably because thermal pot needs to be preheated and I only made about 5 cups at one time. Have and old pot just made 12 cups Sunday and coffee was hot, not hot when just 4 or 5 cups made

There should be no problem, but I do not see a good reason to do it. Not even for reheating coffee. I would never reheat coffee.

I have not used mine in a while, but as I recall it keeps my coffee hot about 4-6 hours depending on the temperature when poured. It makes a BIG difference if you preheat the tumbler first.
