How long does it take to make a full pot? Is it quicker if you make a smaller amount?

It took twice as ling as regular coffee makers to make full pot of 12 cups. I don't know how long it takes for less than that.

I have not timed the coffee maker however it's only logical that the smaller the amount, the short the brew time.

I only make a six-cup pot of coffee, and timed the process this morning with my Thermopen kitchen timer. From the time I pushed the start button (Mozart song plays the first time) until the Mozart song played the second time (signaling the brew process is complete) was 7 minutes, 54 seconds. I then let the pot sit another 3 minutes before pouring my first cup so most of the coffee can drain out of the secondary filter that is clipped into the pot, or carafe. I always take the secondary filter out of the carafe, or pot before pouring a cup of coffee. The filter will have some, not much, coffee remaining in it. I can not say how long for a full pot, or 12 cup pot of coffee. Hopes this helps.

I usually make 8 cups, 3/4 of a pot and it takes about 5 minutes from start to drinking time. It would probably take one more minute to brew a full pot since the largest amount of time is spent bringing water up to brewing temperature. Say 6 minutes for a full pot.

I've been using this coffee maker for about 3-4 months now. Seems like it will brew a whole pot in about 6-8 minutes. I think that smaller amounts would take a little less. Be prepared to use a courser grind of coffee or you will get sediment. The pot comes with an auxilary filter you put directly in the pot to trap this extra sediment if you decide to run the finely ground coffee instead. Still happy with the purchase.

I have only made either 12 cups or 10 cups - to me not a significant difference in brewing time. It makes sense a smaller pot brewed would take less time. I have learned when the music plays to signal brewing has finished - it has not - that by giving it another 3 to 5 minutes it will completely finish.

Just tested for you. A full 1.5L water bring to boil and stop it takes 7 minutes and 50 second on my kettle.

To make 30 cups it takes about 20 minutes, so you can figure around 40 minutes for a full 55 cups.

It's quicker then a normal pot and I would assume it would be as quick as any other electric kettle. It probably depends a large degree on how much water your boiling. It's never taken me 7 minutes but I never fill it to the top.

I've never actually timed myself. It has been my experience that it is less than the amount of time to bring the water to boil and still have time to grind more if necessary.

I usually cook 3 cups and it takes 35 to 40minutes. So I would guess 2 cups might take 30 to 35 minutes.

YES!! I make one pot for two days. I have given this pot as gifts and everyone LOVES the flavor.

I have never tried brewing only 2 cups of coffee. I brew a full pot, and it takes about 15 to 18 minutes. When you pour your water into the reserve, do you have the same problem I do? It pours down the side of the carafe and all over the counter. Or When it is full of coffee and I go to pour my first cup, it pours down the side of the carafe, and I get it all down the front of my white counters. The time frame to brew coffee is ridiculous. The only thing that works great laughingly is the self timer lol.

//// April 9 - I tried this again today, using an electric timer instead of my dear old analog watch, and the full pot took 7.75 minutes from start to shut off.////April 7 - I hadn't really thought about that, so I timed it this morning. From cold to boiling shut-off took my kettle between 9 and 10 minutes, maximally full. My kettle is maybe 9 months old now - use it several times a day and really like it!

10-15 minutes takes about 20-25 for boil. Great buy for brewing, used mine twice so far.

Never really timed the process but definitely quicker than water boiling them. They almost always peal very easy. Not as messy as the boiling water process. Come out perfect every time.

That seems awfully long. I just made 6 cups this morning and it was under 5 minutes.

Hi Robin, this particular pot is great. At times when It's just two us. I use this pot to cook pasta, using just 8 oz. of pasta. Fill pot just over half, add some salt, bring to a rolling boil, add pasta, I cook the pasta just about 7 1/2 mins. Drain pasta into a colander,Sprinkle with Parmesan-Reggiano, Add A Ladle of sauce to the pasta and serve. This pot works great for pasta, it also works terrific to, again, for making homemade sauces. We love it. Let me know what you think, Ok?

Not the fastest in the world; to make an entire pot takes about 15 minutes. HUGE design flaw--- you have to pour PAINFULLY slow or else you pour an additional cup all over your counter. Seems to have more to do with the angle, I switched to pouring over my sink and have had fewer spills. Still, a consideration....

In my opinion it works great. I never make a full pot and usually fill to 6-cups myself. Just press the 4-5 cup button, press start, and enjoy.

Probably not that small of an amount. There is a minimum fill line in the window on the side of the pot. I would guess it would take 12 to 16 ounces to safely operate.

I timed, it but I don't remember now maybe around 4 to 4 1/2 minutes, but as one who uses a lot of hot pots both in the country and out, it boils pretty quickly. US wattage was pretty good. I think it is well made and has a switch on bottom for changing voltage, just a little hard to see. My only complaint is it is a little smaller than the Bodum pot that we replace with this new one, since it broke, but it is a good all around choice other than that.
