I am trying to have 2 questions answered before I need the repair. Please pardon, my question, if
you feel it is off topic. I have wrote emails to the Vendor and contacted them by phone for a week,
No return phone call or email.


I just purchased an expensive Cuisinart Grind & Brew Automatic CoffeMaker with Thermal Carafe, model
DGB-600.

I love very, "HOT" coffee. The directions included say the following:

"Prewarm carafe with hot water to help keep the coffee hotter".

I tried that with normal hot water from the sink and then placed "filtered cold water in the coffee
pot. The coffe came out cold. So I know, I need to place hot water inside the coffe maker.

So my question is this. I have a Hot Water Dispenser in the house, set to 190 degrees. Can I use
this temperature "hot water" directly inside the carafe to keep the carafe warm.

Also, can I use the 190 degree hot water to actually make the coffee.

I will be making coffee by using it's "grind the beans" on demand function.

Thanks much,

Might I suggest alt.coffee? There you will learn more than you want to know
about coffee. After reading the stuff there I went out and built myself a
coffee roaster so now I have fresh coffee to drink.

You can also buy an electric kettle. These will boil water faster than a
microwave and that will give you 212 degree water.

Read the instruction booklet that came with the coffe maker. You are
supposed
to plug the coffeemaker in first and also you don't pour the water directly
through
the filter. There should be a holding tank that you fill up. Hope that
helps.

I previously bought a Perculator. For me, what a pain to clean. The electric is built into the

I did recently learn, that you can get a Perculator that does not use an electric cord and can

However, I really just wanted the answer to "how hot" my water can be to warm the "carafe" and also

Mike,

I read the instruction booklet 4 times and also went on to the Manufacturer website. No answer to my
question.

When I was referring to filtered water. I have filtered cold water coming from my refrigorator. I
like to use this water, than straight from the sink. The filtered water, I poured into the Coffee
Maker itself. The holding tank, is where I placed the refrigorator filtered water into.

I do not have a filter for hot water....However, the Coffee Maker, does say it "filters water".

I have a french coffee press that I bought at a rummage sale. I have a
1500W electric kettle that I recently bought at Wal-mart for $30. (I
wish I had a 3000W British electric kettle, but they are hard to come by
in North America, and I'd have to run a new circuit for it.) Anyway,
the electric kettle and french press combination makes a litre of
scalding hot coffee very quickly.

Best regards,
Bob

No, usually makes things worse. Hot water will not set off the sensors in
some units.


How cold is the cold coffee? If it is not heating properly, it may be a
defective unit. Take a temperature reading to see what you really have.
Most coffee brewers say something in the 180 range is the "best"
temperature, but it will drop more in the carafe. If you fall far below,
take it back. If it is still not as hot as you like, perhaps no drip brewer
will do the job for your preferences.

Plain water can only be heated to 212F at sea level. Your instant tap
probably can't be adjusted that high to prevent overpressure. an ordinary
tea kettle can be used on the stove top to heat the water to boiling to
preheat your carafe.

The temperature of the coffee coming out of your brewer is probably going
top be less than 190 degrees. If you really like to drink liquids that
scald your mouth, why not just take the cup of coffee you pour from your
carafe and give it a zap in the microwave?

Hopefully, you've not been discouraged by all the non-answers to your
question and you're still here. Assuming that to be true, I can make
a couple of broad generalizations.

First, feel free to 'warm up' your carafe with anything you want.
190F should be fine. That should help.

Secondly, with most coffeemakers (I'm assuming that this holds true
for yours), the physics of pumping the water from the reservoir to
the coffee relies on heat. Typically, the water is heated in a small
chamber (for lack of a better word) until it reaches a sufficient
temperature that forces it up a tube/pipe and into the coffee filter.
This is similar to the process that causes the water in a percolator
to rise. In your drip maker, cold water enters the chamber as hot
water is forced out. This continues until the reservoir is empty, at
which point, it shuts off. If you fill the reservoir with hot water,
it's likely that the process will occur faster, but the resulting
temperature will be the same, since you wouldn't be changing the
physics involved.

Given that the process appears to be working, perhaps it's a matter
of personal preference. Maybe you just like your coffee hotter than
other people do. I would, nevertheless, persue this with the
manufacturer, though. There's likely some information that defies
generalizations like these.

I have the same pot, mine makes a great cup of coffee with the freshly
ground beans.

You can pour 212F boiling water into the carafe to preheat it, that works
great... so your 190F water should be just fine too. Make sure you give the
hot water a minute or two to really heat up that carafe before you pour it
out.

I would not use hot water to brew the coffee, I would use nothing but cold
in the tank..the secret with this machine is to really preheat that carafe..

If the reservoir parts are plastic (as most are) and are not heat

loosen, or fail.

Mike,

One thing that continues to amaze me about newsgroups, is that if I ask a question, I am obviously,
looking for an answer, However, the concept that I have, is "if you don't know the answer" then
you don't "need to reply", otherwise, any helpful information is very appreciated. In addition,
some readers (I don't think, look at the entire message", because for myself, being an avid
newsgroup reader, I have learned to put in as much "info on what I have done" before asking the
newsgroup questions.

In addition, for some reason, there are sometimes a few people, who respond in a nasty way. I don't
know why.

Anyway, your info, and that of the other very nice people on this group, got me thinking.

So here is what I did. I created an experiment. I have bought coffee beans to grind and make coffee.
However, since I was just looking for ways to make the temperature to be as hot as possible, I
created a test.

Using only water, here are the tests that validated your response.

1st Experiment:

I put cold water into the Coffee Resovoir and just ran the Coffee maker without coffee. Water
tasted cold.


2nd Experiment:

I then put cold water into the Coffee Resovoir and rinsed out Caraffe with 190 degree hot water.
Water tasted passibly hot.

3rd Experiment:

I put cold water into the Coffee Resovoir and just ran the Coffee maker without coffee. I put 190
degree water into Caraffe and let stand for 3 minutes. Water tasted somewhat hotter.


4th Experiement:

I then put hot water from faucet into Coffee Resovoir and just ran the Coffee maker without coffee.
I put 190 degree water into Caraffe and let stand for 3 minutes. Water tasted somewhat hotter.

Note: on th Experiment with placing hot water into Coffee Resovoir, Coffe maker, finished cycle
much quicker, like you stated.

5th Experiment:

I put cold water into the Coffee Resovoir and just ran the Coffee maker without coffee. I put 190
degree water into Caraffe and let stand for 20 minutes. Water tasted a little colder.

So in conclusion, I will use Cold water to put in Coffee Resovoir and use 190 degree water into
Carafe and let stand a few minutes.

I would like to thank all of the people who responsed with feedback.

Much appreciated.
