A lot of the coffee makers are designed so that they brew at a lower temperature and then the brewed coffee is brought up to temperature by the hot plate under the coffee pot. I always figured that its because coffee is better if brewed at one temperature to reduce the extraction of acids ,foul tastes , etc and then served at a higher temperature that people prefer. If that's the kind you have , try brewing the coffee 15 minutes early so it has time to heat up while sitting on the hot plate bottom. It will get a lot hotter in just a short time.
