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.

I usually do a full pot and it takes *about* 10 minutes, but I also did a large mug with a coffee sample I got and it took only about 4-5 minutes.

I would say approximately 20 to 25 minutes depending on how many cups you are cooking. I usually cook 2 cups.

I pretty much agree with all of the prior answers, some in the "it depends" category. You can brew a mug of coffee from pre-ground, or from Breville-ground. Either is in the range of 4-5 minutes.

It's very quick. I would say about 2-3 minutes. I love this coffee maker. It's so easy and makes great coffee.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

My experience is about 3-1/2 minutes for a large mug. This matches the manufacturer's spec sheet, which says "Max. Brew Time Under 3-1/2 minutes".

Hi John... not sure what coffee you are using. The filters need dense, high-altitude coffee or the water will run too fast. But yes, generally try a finer grind and add a little coffee, there will be an optimal balance at which it will brew in 3-4 minutes. If you keep having issues let us know!

The brew time is approx 1.5 hours; steep the grains about 30 mins, and boil up to an hour. Start to finish, with setup and cleanup allow yourself several hours so you are not rushing things, read and follow all the directions and you will be happy with the results....

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

10-15min to make a awesome cup of coffee is normal. You want FAST crappy coffee? go to starbucks. Coffee beans take time to presoak and cooked heated boiled, milked whatever to make the perfect aroma'ed coffee. Time to enjoy that coffee.

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

about 3 minutes.. it is a good little brewer, but not as good as the first model. I bought 2 of these and were not worth the $ as they both leak out the reseviour somehow. I already threw one out. My daughter bought me a keurig, use the other one of these at work.. good luck! I have seen some good machines at target since purchasing this that are comprable ini price and look good!
