how long does it take to brew a cup of coffee - for me it was upwards of 13 minutes for two cups of coffee.. does that sound right?

that sounds like a long time. I have never timed it, but I usually brew about 6 cups and don't feel it takes a long time. There is also the option to pour a cup before the brewing is complete. It will stop until you put the carafe back in.

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

no! I use VERY fine ground coffee (I like it strong) and the strong brew setting for 6 six 3-4 minutes max. 13 minutes crazy!

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.

I normally make a 12 cup brew, and it takes about the same time, so I'm not sure why your 2 cup brew would be as long?? My theory is to make 12 cups at one time, and microwave the coffee in my cup for the next couple days, but if you have an aversion to that, it actually doesn't change the flavor! I can't imagine that a 2 cup brew would take as long as a 12 cup brew, but maybe it's inherent in the brewing process??

That is too long. For half a pot of coffee it only takes me about 4 to 5 minutes. Maybe it needs to be cleaned? I try to clean mine every couple of weeks with white vinegar and water. I have 6 coffee drinkers in my household and we probably make 2 to 3 pots a day. So I do like to clean it often. Also I use a permanent filter and clean it more often.

You can brew ONE or two cups at a time. Or one tea & one coffee. It does not have a brew delay.

Brewing a cup of coffee depends on your settings. I brew a medium-size mug and use the middle settings for strength, and it takes about six minutes. If you like stronger coffee or use a larger mug, it'll take longer.

It does take a little longer because that is the process of temperature and brew time. Mine seems to work fine and while it does take longer to brew, the results are much better than a typical coffee brewer.

From start to what finish? How long does it take to brew a batch? A couple hours depending on your equipment. Or are you asking how long does it take from brewing to drinking?...three to five or more weeks.

I use a heaping 1/2 cup of coffee beans to make a 10 cup pot of coffee. I grind fresh beans each morning. It takes less than a minute. It's an on/off switch The sound of the grinder changes when the beans are ground so you can hear when to switch it off

From the time you first push the on switch on back it takes 90 sec. to warm the water to a certain temp., after which it take about 20 seconds to brew a cup. Don't forget their is about 5 different sizes and the pod must say "extra bold" for larger size cups

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

i basically agree with the others... i can grind about half a cup of espresso in 5 minutes or so... depends on how focused you are :)

About 3-5 minutes, but I usually wait for about 10 minutes to make sure it has brewed every drop!

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!

It takes about 2 minutes for it to warm up before it's ready to brew. But after its all warmed up and you press the double shot button it takes about 20 seconds to brew. Make sure the doors to all the bedrooms are shut because its loud for the wee hours of the morning, but all espresso machines are loud. By the time you carefully scoop the coffee without making a mess with the grounds it should be ready to brew as soon as your finished with the grounds and your cup (and the chocolate and sugar if you're making a mocha and blah blah blah...)

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.

It takes a good 20 minutes to a half hour after it's been brewed to get good and hot. After it's first been brewed, it's not as hot as we'd like. But, it does keep the coffee hot after that until it automatically shuts off two hours after it's been brewed.

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

Well, for one 8 oz cup of coffee, it takes about two minutes. It doesn't seem any slower than a regular drip coffee maker. The only thing is you have to stand ready and keeping pouring in the water.

If you are filling the reservoir it should make 12 cups. It starts brewing when you press the button. If you are dispensing coffee within a minute or two, it can not keep up. If you wait until the signal that brewing is complete, then you should have as many cups of coffee as you added water. I hope this helps.
