What setting do you find best for the stove? My electric has burners with settings from 1 to 8. How long does it take then to brew one full pot?

Although I didn't have a chance to use it. The 8-cup setting is my best refer and It would take roughly 5-7 min. to brew on either gas/E-stove. Hope It helps.

Sorry I cannot help you, we have a gas stove; once you start hearing the steam rise you turn the gas down.

I have a gas stove I brew it on medium, takes about 7 to 8 minutes, the electric on a medium settings cant take much longer.

Wondering... how quickly do you feel the water should come to a boil? Peeked this morning as was a little surprised to see some coffee had already appeared in the top portion eventhough there was not a full rolling boil going on below. Wondered if I had the stove setting a little too low. Thoughts?

This is purportedly for all heat sources. Heat is heat and the heat WILL distort this sooner or later. My stove was electric and the first time I used it, it warped. If you want to hammer it out after using it, give it a shot. Heat diffusers are a good thing for cooking, particularly on an electric stove which is notorious for hot spots. It's warped but I still use it.

Just an edit to previous reply. I have a glass top flat surface stove. I'm sure results would be different if using electric burners.

OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil. "Completely boil" means boil for a few seconds and then the "on" button automatically turns off. It starts boiling at around 5-6 minutes, but it's safer to leave it boiling for a little bit to kill the bacteria - that's probably why it doesn't shut off until about a minute later. I normally put in about 2 cups of water in the morning, just enough for my coffee and a little extra, and this takes about 1-2 minutes to boil. It's pretty convenient/saves time when you do it this way. Hope this helps! OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil.

It's a very powerful burner. Sounds like a jet engine when opened up all the way. I boiled 4 gallons of water for pasta in about 3 minutes. A large diameter pot is necessary to capture as much of the heat from the burner as possible.

My electric stove has burner elements. I just set it across 2 of them. The Griddle is heavy It may work but it could scratch your glass. Hope this helps.

My burner works well at all settings, though I confess it is used more often on high. Against cheaper burners, it simply works better. Are you using outside or in a drafty location?

how much time are you allowing the coffee to steam/boil? Are the burner temps high enough to allow for a strong "rolling" boil" in the top chamber? I use mine almost daily, 4-5 full scoops of a coarse ground, about 3-5 minutes at high temps to achieve a strong "rolling" boil. The results are always some of the best made coffee. Hope this helps!

Danielle--I have the smallest size Bialetti, but the coffee is so easy to make and tastes great! My electric stove is a flat-top, and I just make sure the handle is off to the side a bit. I have had no trouble with the handle getting hot and pick it up right from the burner with the handle. Turn the burner to about medium heat, and within a few minutes the coffee starts to bubble out of the spout inside the top half of the coffee maker. It only takes a minute or so from this point, so watch it a bit, then when the top half is full, remove it from the heat. I even heat the milk on the same burner in a stainless steel Turkish coffee pot/pan thing (Pradeep brand) I got at an Indian market. Both fit just fine. Also, I saw a video on Youtube about making Cuban coffee. Put sugar into your mug, then put a few drops of the just-brewed coffee on top, and stir it for a minute or two until it looks like a paste. Pour the hot milk onto this, then the coffee. Oh my! It's just amazing!!

I am using a presto pressure cooker I turn up to 11 until it know starts rocking and then turn down between 9 and 10. I don't have much problem although I have turned down to low and had to turn it back up. Love this burner

When I cured my pot on the stove top I couldn't more than 5 gallons boiling. So I bought a bayou burner and use propane outside for full boils. I run off about 8 gallons or wort average though. Depending on if I do a 60 minute or 90 minute boil.

I have a 6 cup Stainless Coffee Percolator. http://snowpeak.com/products/stainless-coffee-percolator-pr-006?variant=671147229 Does this burner take a long time to boil water in something like this Snow Peak coffee percolator and what heat setting should be used?

Depends on your stove type. For a gas or raised electric stove, a three to five gallon pot gives you enough room to boil without overflow. If you have an electric stove with a flush surface, as I do, you can get by with a smaller pot by making multiple smaller batches or super concentrated wort after boiling, since larger capacity pots have a diameter significantly larger than the burner

Hi, just a little less time than ceramic. Not much but a little, I like it because it is much better to put on an open flame,and warm up. I don't use electric coffee pots anymore so you should try the Coleman Enamelware Percolator. I bought 2 of them because I like tea to. I cut the tea bags and then drop into the percolator filter. Oh by the way, the aroma in the air is wonderful. It makes me feel like I'm camping. So have fun and taste and smell the difference. It's great. Thanks for your time,,,,Terry

I am something of a gourmet cook, and have never felt that the number of settings was too limited. My only gripe, and it is minor, is that over time the lowest settings have become hotter. Used to be able to simmmer at 2, now simmers at one. Performance varies from pan to pan, and with some pans, 1 is almost too hot for a simmer. Over all, I am thrilled with the burner and recommend it highly.

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.
