does this burner cycle on and off as it heats or is it constant heat?

Constant heat...if you want a cycling on and off feature, you should go induction which cycles on and off throughout the cooking process saving energy and less intense heat to your food. I splurged on the Duxtop 9600 (BT 200 DZ) and it is awesome...a whole new way of cooking that is better than electric and gas (I enjoy cooking with gas as well, but not wild about the fumes). It also has a built in timer that turns off the burner when finished...a great feature...

Is the low temperature low enough to keep a coffee pot warm without "cooking" the coffee?

I would doubt it...the only burners that do that are the ones that come with coffee machines. You are better off transferring your coffee to a good, insulated beverage carafe (pour hot water in first to warm it up) that holds the original temp without adding heat to it and hastening its deterioration...

Does it give off a toxic smell (electrical burning?) or was the one review about this an isolated incident? Thanks!

Mine gave off the most horrible toxic electrical burning odor I've ever experienced. It stank up my whole apartment and I had to unplug it before I could even finish the "burn in". Unfortunately I was already passed the return time and couldn't return my unit.

Can this burner be placed directly on the counter top without scorching the counter top?

Yes I use mine on a counter without any problem
