There is no hot plate at all to burn the coffee or worry about shutting off.

I wish I had kept my Mr. Coffee pot with the glass carafe and the warming plate.

If I had the counter space I would keep one of these makers AND one of the conventional glass carafe warming plate variety

There's no hot plate, it's hard to set the pot back in grove

Easy to use with no hot plate or 2 hr shut off.

There's no bitter taste from sitting on a hot plate like other coffee makers with a glass carafe

This fits the bill nicely, and keeps the coffee hot for a long time without a hot-plate - so less worry about leaving it plugged in.

Keeps coffee hot for hours without the burnt taste you get from the traditional hot plate warmer.

It makes EXCELLENT brewed coffee and it has NO "hot plate" that needs to be turned off after the brew cycle is completed

We'd endured a funky Black and Decker full-featured coffee maker with a hot plate

Another negative is it doesn't have a hot plate which I was surprised but it does have the carafe so you don't really need it

awesome product.keeps coffee warm for hours but only uses electric while brewing.compared to regular coffee makers which hot plate stays on for 2 hours using electricity..

the insulation is also p nice keeps it hot for a little bit with out burning it like the hot plate coffee makers.

So, I decided to try a different model of Bunn, one that has a glass carafe and hot plate

I like the fact that the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot and there is no chance of the coffee burning like on a hot plate

No hot plate.

The coffee temperature is nice and hot and I appreciate the thermal carafe versus using a hot plate as we like to extend our drinking coffee time very a few hours and don't like the burned taste with some that use a thermal plate

No more burned coffee or baked pot since there is no hot plate to forget to turn off.

Will not go back to a hot plate EVER

NOT with this coffee maker as it has no hot plate to forget

Does not have a hot plate so it save on electricity

It hasn't been cooking on a hot plate, just kept piping hot and fresh tasting in this hefty thermos carafe

Love the carafe feature instead of a hot plate that always seems to rust over time

Would rather it had some sort of hot plate.

It does not sit on a warming plate as a glass one does.

Greener than the average coffee maker -- no hot plate.

Other than that, I am convinced that I will never buy a coffee maker with hot plate again!I almost forgot to mention that B&D has made a miraculous, scientific break through pouring spout!!

This thing doesn't have a warming plate.

I have always had coffee makers with a warmer plate and I decided I wanted an insulated carafe instead

The carafe is insulated, so of course it doesn't have a hot plate

The plate where the carafe sits is not a hotplate type warmer.

No more worry about a hot warming plate and the possibility of a dry burn of an empty carafe as there is no warming plate

I'm amazed at how long the thermal carafe keeps the coffee piping hot without the need for a burner / hot plate like my old one.

I do wish that it had a warmer plate though

All day warm coffee without having to reheat or use a hot plate.

It seems like the warming plate is just not powerful enough to keep the coffee hot.

does that sits on a hot plate

The thermal carafe keeps the coffee warm for hours without using a warming hot plate underneath, so its got to be saving some energy as well

It doesn't get bitter as with the hot plate type makers

No hot plate to give your coffe that scorched taste and burn electricity

was disappointed that there is no hot plate on the unit as the coffee I made was barely warm after brewing and sitting for 30 mins

The insulated carafe keeps coffee warm from 4am when I make it till my wife has hers after 7. 3 hours of warmth without cooking the coffee in a hot plate.

There is no hot plate at all to burn the coffee or worry about shutting off.

No need to have a coffee hot plate running to keep cooking the coffee for hours

Much prefer that to a hot plate.

No warming plate so coffee does not stay hot, even in the carafe.

Disappointed did not have a hot plate to stay hot

Note: It doesn't use a hot plate to keep the coffee warm

no hot plate to worry about peeling, catching fire or burning small fingers, just an awesome carafe!

There's no hot plate nor need to stay on once it's completed the cycle

the inside of the pot doesn’t have any grooves or markings to help show how much water is inside.2- there is not a hot plate at the bottom to keep pot hot (although the steel casing does keep warm

Not having a hot plate is wonderful for me

No warming plate, says carafe keeps coffee hot for hours

This is the first time I've tried an insulated coffee pot without a hot plate

it's easy to use and program, the coffee stays hot for hour and since it's not on a hot plate it doesn't get bitter

Disappointed did not have a hot plate to stay hot

No warming plate on this model.

No heating element means that I save money on not running a "hot plate" underneath my coffee for hours, burning the flavors out.

What a bargain and it is so quiet and no wasted hot plate using electricity

It seems like the warming plate is just not powerful enough to keep the coffee hot.

I like that, because the hot plates stale out the coffee in fairly short order

Without being on a hot plate the last cup taste as good as the first..

Fortunately, this coffeemaker works as well as or better than any we have previously owned (and all of those were much more expensive).We use dark-roast coffee exclusively and we both like our coffee strong

Also the thermos does not keep the coffee as hot as we’d like after 30 min

Works as excepted.

Needless to say I would recommend this coffee pot as of right now

Not quite as hot as I would like, so only four stars.

DO NOT BUY, bought in June of 2017 hardly used and now does not work as of

This is easy to use and adjustable as to how bold you really want your cup of Joe

Not having bells and whistles didn't bother me as it was reliable and made good coffee right until the end.

For those that like coffee extremely hot, this may not be for you, it will not be as hot as with a typical coffee maker

n’t smell the coffee in the other room and down the hallway like with my other machine
