I would like to use this in the US. How long does it take to boil water with US adapter?

It took me about 2 minutes for 0.4 liter. Make sure you adjust to 110V for U.S. use. Hope this helps.

I dont know. Somebody releived me of mine in the middle east. Worked great while i had it.

I timed, it but I don't remember now maybe around 4 to 4 1/2 minutes, but as one who uses a lot of hot pots both in the country and out, it boils pretty quickly. US wattage was pretty good. I think it is well made and has a switch on bottom for changing voltage, just a little hard to see. My only complaint is it is a little smaller than the Bodum pot that we replace with this new one, since it broke, but it is a good all around choice other than that.

Perhaps I just haven't paid that close attention, as I (like a few of those below)fill my unit as I see it gets to around to 1L left. Thus, it is not when I need the water to be hot, so I am not sitting watching the proverbial pot boil. However, it is pretty quick - under 15 minutes for sure. I am also on cooler well water, but it definitely has not taken more than 15 minutes for 3 full liters of boiling hot water. Once it has boiled, depending on the hold temperature you set, your water will remain hot until you put more cool water in the unit.

I used an adaptor in the USA and it wasn't very successful Not very hot and very very slow

Actually it would work. I just tested it by unplugging it pressing down the tab and plugging it back in, and it started going. Probably still not worth doing though. Besides the fire hazard thing, if it takes you more than 2 minutes to get out of bed and to the kitchen, measure and grind your beans, pre rinse your filter and get set for your pour over then the boiling water would be cooling down by that point and you'd have to manually press the tab again to get it back up to temp. Grab a hario hand grinder and you'll have not problem filling the boil time with a nice little arm workout.

With room temperature water, it takes about three minutes when set on high. I usually begin with water already heated from a brewer so it is less than a minute for it to boil.

The easiest way is to always bring the water to a boil (212 degrees) then let it "rest" until it reaches 175 -- the time it takes to cool down to 175 will be the same regardless of cooking method & variations in microwaves. Just put a thermometer in the water the first time you do this and time how long it takes, round that up to the nearest minute, and always wait that long after boiling -- for two cups, it should be about a minute. Another option is add 1.5 cups of boiling water (212 degrees) to .5 cups of room temp water (70 degrees)-- the result will be 175 degrees (.75*212 + .25*70 = 176). Voilà!

I use it for soup, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to boil it. Its more than just a warmer!

A watched pot does boil...in 8 minutes. 1.5 L room temp water. Altitude 797 ft. Unit shut off at 8 min 17 secs.

It takes about 5-ish minutes for a hard boil. Sooner if you do not want it as scalding.

it took exactly 5:46.85, now I used cold water out of the tap, and have found that altitude does have an effect on how fast the water boils. my altitude is at 3200ft. hope this helps

No, you can not use it in USA and no adaptor included for US. In package there are several adaptors for different configuration of outlets in different counties. But the kettle made to use 220W, while in the USA we use 110W.Of couse you may buy an expensive power adaptor (to convert 220W into 110W) and still use it in the US. But it is not worse of it, I belive. Unfortunately they discontinue to make Braun kettles for US/Canada. I wish they will start to make this best kettle ever for us soon.

3-5 minutes if the water is boiling hot. Probably more like 5-7 minutes if the water is hot but not boiling, like if you had it in the thermos for a few hours.

Don't waste your money on this, you will be sorry. Buy the roadpro lunchbox heater and use a canteen base to boil the water. Takes about 30 min

I know it can boil 320z water in about 8 mins. Thats about 4 pounds in weight works great so it should take the weight of a cast iron skillet Hope this helps have a great day !!!

Dude these fuel tablets I've found are really only for a good start of a fire - I light one then feed it pencil size wood to really get it goin - I'd say usin that method probably like 7-8 minutes to boil a liter of water - you DO have to feed it - I've NEVER got any water boilin without feeding it

I never timed it, but it's 1000w, while many are 1500 watts.. The fastest I've seen just for heating water is to buy an induction burner and a separate pot. If you are looking for speed specifically, it's a 1000w, and the temp setting I believe cycles on and off so it doesn't overshoot the setting. Both these flow things up a little. It probably is slightly slower, then the pour is slow too because of the little spout.. HOWEVER, I find the convenience of the accurate temp control trumps a slightly slower boil time, because its ready when you are. But if you are not specifically wanting the skinney spout for pour over coffee, or using for those tiny tea pots, get the regular spout. .

It's easily as fast as a standard teakettle, and after filling with cold tap water, it takes approximately 7-8 minutes, and chimes a toon when it's ready. Heats water to 212 then drops back to it holding temp of 195.
