Question: Does this coffee maker brew with hot enough water or does it rely on the warmer to heat the coffee after the fact?
Document: This coffee maker gets the water hot enough and there is no plastic smell etc. I would highly recommend this to fellow coffee lovers, you wont' be disappointed!
Have not had it long enough to rate reliability, but my guess is it will be a good unit.Well designed, simple, easy to clean, gets the coffee hot enough, and keeps it hot.Nothing fancy, just an on/off switch, which is how I like it.But, you will have to remember to turn it off, or you will end up with caramelized coffee in your carafe.
I paid under $20 dollars for this coffeemaker at Amazon about a year ago and it is performing like new. Obviously this doesn't look high end and white isn't popular but it makes and keeps coffee really hot, sprays the hot  water over entire coffee grounds, takes regular filters, and is easy to clean. Not having an automatic shut off is the only negative, but even when I've forgotten to shut it off for long periods, nothing dire has happened.
Also the swing-outs tend to drip water onto the plate which damages the finish over time when hot (best to insure no water under the carafe when placing on the hot plate).Has no internal markings for water level, but cavity hump serves to mark the 4-5 cup level needed (besides the markings on the carafe) -- so only four stars.Takes basket style filters instead of the Euro-style cones.
The 10-cup  coffee makers that are small enough for the space I have are quite few. While this maker was the right size, the lid was not well made and popped off when it was opened. Not something i wanted to live with.
I thought this was a sure bet with the high rating. But it makes cold weak coffee. I had to put my coffee in the microwave for a minute to heat it up after making it. The coffee didn't have much flavor using the same amount of grinds I've used in other pots. I think it pumps the water too fast for it to really extract the flavor. It also makes a mess. Grounds all over the inside spitting up into the reservoir and then getting into my coffee.
I bought this for RV as it was smaller than most. It makes good coffee, keeps it hot, easy to clean. I would recommend to a friend.
Simple, easy to use, and if you buy it directly from Proctor Silex, it is only 14.99. No bells, no whistles, no annoying features you don't want. Just decent hot coffee. I don't like the internal basket tho. The old external one was easier to use and keep clean.
After a month of daily use I find it completely satisfactory. Coffee brews quickly and stays hot. My only complaints are minor ones: (1)the oversized lid makes filling a trifle awkward and (2)the "on" light is on the side, rather than the front, and therefore somewhat hard to see. (added 10 months later) Still working perfectly. I am highly satisfied with this product.
Works better for making 4 cups (two large mugs) than smaller types because it pumps water faster with 900 watts, allowing the coffee to steep longer before dripping down. The flow rate is restricted by the valve more than by the filter, a properly made point not always found. The practice of sizing the heater to the water capacity and running the same time for smaller loads is incorrect.
Answer: It's hot enough for me, but I'm not a coffee connoisseur. It is hotter than my old Braun coffee make, but it was  OLD and finally broke. Definitely does not rely on the plate to make the coffee hotter. But the plate does keep the coffee hot enough in my opinion, especially for what it is - a $25 coffee maker. I'm very happy with it, YMMV.
