“Recently bought... coffee flavor was very good... I don't understand why it wasn't hot enough! Has anyone else experienced this issue? I've also tried the personal setting brew where it claims to get the brew temperatures to be 208. Any suggestions?”

Yes. A about two or threee minutes after the brew cycle finishes, take the carafe off/out of the maker and set it aside. We’ve learned that there is a plunger in the lid of the carafe that is held full open when the carafe is in the unit - so the freshly brewed coffee can get into the carafe. Well, this plunger lets out all of the heat after brewing. Also - if I know there is going to be a demand for coffee that stretches an hour or so, before I brew I like to “charge” the carafe by filling it with boiling water and setting it aside (lid on) for about 10-15 mins. Then just dump the water and brew coffee as normal. It’ll stay hot for hours.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We found recommendations online that said to let the water sit in the tank and not just use it straight out of the fridge or faucet that that has improved the temperature a lot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi. I have noticed that also. I haven't tried any of the custom settings though. Sorry, I don't have any suggestions.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Mine is very hot, I'd ask the manufacture.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I haven’t noticed this but have the habit of rinsing out carafe with hot water before brewing. Maybe this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If the brewed coffee is not hot enough, chances are you stated with a carafe that is not hot enough. Warm the carafe with hot water and you should be good to go. 208 degree temps for coffee are not beneficial and at higher altitudes, not possible due to a lower boiling point. Brew temps that create a good extraction are typically anywhere from 198 - 202. If the brew temperature is not good, then you have a defective machine. Chances are this is not the case, but you can measure the brew slurry by inserting a prob thermometer.
