How long does it take to make a latte? My current machine takes about 15 minutes!

2 minutes. If you start steam then move to brewing, there is a trick to cool down the machine. You can release some heat through release water at steam ward at brewing settings. It will allow you to brew immediately. You should always do brewing then move to steaming.

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

Grinding 16 grams of coffee for an Aeropress takes me probably 3 minutes. That's double the coffee needed for a single shot of espresso, but I'm incredulous of claims of less than 30 seconds.

Although the machine makes good-tasting coffee, it is not a good fit for an office environment. It takes about 3-4 minutes to make 1 cup of cappuccino. Plus, the milk container will not have enough milk for that many people. You would need to re-fill it with fresh milk after 3 or 4 cups. Also, you would need to clean the milk steamer nozzle with hot steam (a nice little function) after each cup. The cleaning takes a minutes or so. So, you would need about 30-50 minutes of continues manipulations to serve 10-15 people. In my opinion, it's a great machine for a home kitchen, but not a good fit for a busy office setting. I hope this helps. Although the machine makes good-tasting coffee, it is not a good fit for an office environment. It takes about 3-4 minutes to make 1 cup of cappuccino.

Depends on cup size. I do a large mug and it takes about 5-6 minutes. Because it uses much less coffee for single cups, it is necessary for it to steep the coffee for a few minutes before filling the cup. Love it, make a single mug for myself every morning.

Oh wow, I usually make 8 cups but I did make 12 for company two weeks ago. I didn't really pay attention. It was not any faster than my old coffee maker but I didn't think, "oh this is taking so long " I will try to time the brew and get Back to you. The whole unit, top to bottom is about 14 inches (could be 15). It is slightly shorter in the front ( the design slopes) . The carafe is 6 inches.

I just brewed 4 cups in 3 minutes. 10 cups at regular strength and it took 9 minutes, 15 seconds.

You have the choice between two cup sizes, espresso or allong and you can custom the size of the cups by keeping the button pressed...simple. One cup is done in 15-20 seconds after the machine has warmed up, and warming up takes approx. 1 minute. This machine is a dream!

Not at all. This machine makes great froth. It will explain it all in the instructions. I love this machine and it just took me less than four minutes to make myself a latte, after work. I do use the Starbucks Via coffee thought and find it really easy to use. Even connoisseurs of a good latte, cannot tell the difference. Do use skim milk though, for the best froth.Good luck with giving your gift. They are lucky people.Regards, Dale.

Steaming the milk will take around 3-4 mins.. Grinding, tampering and extracting beans will take a total of 2-3 mins.. You can probably come close to 5 mins..

I think its around 5 minutes. I never timed it but that sounds about right. Hope this helps. Froth lasts all they way to your last sip. It a nice little machine for the money.

It is as manual as it gets. A lot of it is intuitive since the ready light is not a true indicator. At times the temperature got higher than ideal that it scolded the taste. Better have the espresso grounds ready Head of time. In my experience, it would take about 5-7 minutes for 6 shots.

It takes about 10 min. Best coffee I have ever made at home. My guests rave about it. Make sure you get coffee ground for a perculator

It would take a few minutes to grind the coffee. It's slow, not an issue for me, could be for you. The grind is adjustable and there is a wide range. It's a really neat very simple machine.

Not long. A nice feature is that you can pour a cup or two while the coffeemaker is still brewing if you are in a real hurry! I would say the time from adding water, starting machine for grinding and brewing is less than 10 minutes. Also, if you set it up the night before, it will be ready when you get to the kitchen!

We usually make 6 cups, and it doesn't take anymore than 5 minutes. I've never actually timed it but it doesn't seem to take very long at all. So a full pot should take approx. 10 minutes.

If you are just pulling a shot of espresso it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. If you are making two capuccino's it will take about 15 minutes because it looses pressure/steam pretty quickly. The machines sucks, sorry for your purchase.
