How long should it take the coffee to drain from the Zevro into a cup? Mine takes 5 minutes (and never fully drains); is it defective?

Should not take more than a minute or two. You may have the grind of the coffee too fine. If you are using the correct size mug there should not be a problem as the Zevro is very simple in design. Hope this helps�

Ours flows through quickly (less than a minute), and we use a paper filter. Your screen might be clogged . . . or it might be defective. If the screen if clean, there's something wrong with it. We love ours. Good Luck.

The amount of coffee is limited to 10grams, and the amount of water (in seconds) is programmable. The amount of time to cycle out the old puck and grind coffee for another cup s approximately 10 seconds. So, for a cup of coffee it takes about a minute. This is really more of a personal coffee maker....if you're looking to make 5 cups of coffee you'd have to refill the water reservoir several times. In my opinion....you should look for a higher capacity unit.

I've had my diffuser for just about 10 days. I am on my 5th cup! I follow all of the instructions and have it on about 12 hours per day. 5-8pm on 50 minutes-2 hour setting and 8pm-6am on the 9 hour setting. I found a leak yesterday afternoon, replaced the cup, ran it over night on the 9 hour setting. When I got home from work, I put it on my regular 3 hour setting. Before bed, went to empty the cup and add a night blend - another hole. I LOVE this diffuser - maybe I got a REALLY BAD batch of cups....and now the site is out of replacement cups. I loved it so much, i ordered 6 more for my house and three as gifts. I'm hoping the new ones will have longer lasting cups. I've had my diffuser for just about 10 days. I am on my 5th cup!

This is the same amount of time I think I've had mind. For about the same amount of time, mine also will clog, or get stuck in the top of the little cup holder. My work around is to take the compartment out (the whole receptor clear thing) with the pod still in and then I poke through the hole with the back of the little brush that came with it and scrape the top of the plastic thing, the coffee falls into the pod. I have also noticed I have to grind it at 1, but I assumed this was the new coffee I have been buying.

I am not sure, there is must be something wrong with your machine. My coffee is still warn the next morning if we didn't finish the pot from the morning before. It's always got when I make it, so you may want to want to send it back for replacement

Go big or go home, you can always use less water and coffee. I had the 6 cup and I had to brew 3 of them in order to receive my daily caffeine fix. The coffee was outstanding but waiting for it to brew was about a 15-20 minute wait.

If it works fine with just water, then maybe you packed in the coffee too tightly. It might take some trial & error to get it right.

As it happens, I just boiled water for coffee using my bodium French press which is supposed to be an 8 cup/ Itook about 15 minutes. I am not sure exactly how many onces of water that is, but I should also say it is important not to overfill it. It will still work quickly,

My "clover B7a hot and cold water dispenser", takes about a minute to fill a twelve cup coffee pot. Had mine for about one and a half years.. no problems.

Hello,yes that's normal - it only takes a couple seconds while water runs through capsule. Enjoy your coffee :))Ingrid

I don't brew a lot off coffee, so haven't noticed if it's slow or not. Seemed OK to me. I use a regular grind of coffee, just what the machine at the store produces. Mine are the stainless steel cups; could that make a difference? Sorry I couldn't help you. Best of luck.

Only used the single brew once. Uses too much coffee beans. Takes longer because water steeps longer over burr grind. 4 to 5 minutes seems right.

It takes 20 minutes for it to brew 10 cups of coffee.... I read somewhere to figure 1 minute per cup, but that must kick in when doing a full or almost full urn.

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

I own one of these. I also had this problem and read a review describing this problem= the hole in the bottom is too large, allowing the water to drain through before it can "steep" The other reviewer used one of those coffee stir straws inserted along the side into the hole to take up some room and make it drain slower. Possibly a skinny tip bamboo chopstick inserted would work, if you don't want to run all your coffee over a soft plastic straw.

I suspect that you're not putting enough coffee grounds in. First, grind very fine, espresso grind (powder, as fine as you get get it). Then put 2+ heaping Tablespoons of grounds for every 6oz of water you pour through. This means, when I make a cup of coffee, normal mug, I use 4 heaping Tablespoons of grounds -- my mug comfortably holds about 12 oz of coffee with a bit of room at the top. When I make two cups, one for my wife and one for myself, I use 5 heaping Tablespoons of grounds. It nearly fills up the #2 filter, but I pour the water slowly and keep the water topped up throughout the pouring process. If you let it go down and fill again, the filter tends to get clogged and it takes *forever* for it to brew and flow through. My wife likes a slightly weaker cup of coffee, so the second cup is hers. If you are looking for strong, add more grounds. Hope that helps!
