Is there a way to speed up the water dispencing it takes forever to fill a glass of water

Hi Kathy. In my experience, although it's been a long while, no. Part of the problem was that the system is fighting gravity with the water on the bottom and it just couldn't compensate. Great concept. Poor execution.

It takes about 3 minutes when the unit is over night and the water is not heated. If the water is already heated after a cup, it takes about a minute. I can go get my paper and it ready to enjoy my coffee with the paper. Hopes this works. If you get it make sure you use the filters

The funnel is so tiny, it takes forever to fill.ArubaGlow Sunscreen Flasks comes with a larger and collapsible silicone funnel that takes no time to fill the bottles

I have not had that problem to date. I have noticed, however, that the only way for me to fill the water tank is somewhat at a slow pour rate so none of the water splashes out and into the body of the coffee maker. Could that possibly be the problem you are experiencing? A side note here...I, too, experience a continual blinking of the 'clean' light even after thoroughly cleaning the unit. I would NOT have purchased this unit except for the ability to fill the water from the front without constantly moving the unit back and forth under the cupboards just to fill the water reservoir. On the whole, I would NOT purchase this unit again...but it was inexpensive and ya get what ya pay for. I have not had that problem to date.

I assume that the questioner wants to know if there is something that indicates when the filter needs to be changed. You should keep a spare filter cartridge on hand. Change it out when the water flow slows down. New, the flow will be about 1 oz. per second. An 8 oz. glass will be filled in 7 or 8 seconds. Over time, depending on the amount that you use the filter, the flow will slow to where it takes 10 or 12 seconds to filter 8 oz., it's time to replace the filter cartridge.

I had the same problem. What I did was take the ceramic filter off and just ran the water through a PUR faucet filter before pouring it into the Nikken system. If you have it, you can also use the round foam filter that originally came with the Aqua Pour system to pre-filter the water, it is much faster than the ceramic filter.

Quite while. I fill it and then walk away, so it takes 2 or 3 hours at least. If I go back to the kitchen I often top it up, it seems to work faster if it is full or near full and using the entire filter.

Very slowly. This is definitely something you "set it and forget it" in the morning if you fill it all the way up.

Don't pour fast. Slowly and it doesn't come out of the top. I haven't had a problem with that.

I've never timed it but it does take awhile. I fill the top at night and have water in the morning.

Add more water a cup at a time... No coffee. When it finally starts coming out you have filled the resevior.

Actually, there is additional assistance to getting to the "perfect" 25-second shot. Grind and tamp are important, please don't misunderstand. But there is another piece of gear that can help: La Marzocco Strada portafilter baskets.These are precisely engineered so that the holes in the basket are the same size, and they are perfectly centered in the basket. The holes also appear to be smaller than those you see in most portafilter baskets, and that's going to slow the water flow down.Not cheap - around a drawback - but worth every penny, IMO.

I held the "every drop" under the running water over the container I was putting filtered water into I usually did 1/2gallon at a time it took between 2-5 minutes just don't over fill the "every drop"

Sometimes mine can take up to a few minutes but rarely longer. Is the pump mechanism installed correctly? Is the water level high enough? (Sorry to ask dumb troubleshooting Qs)

I'm having no issues with the filtering speed. It may slow down with time but a fresh one filters a cup's-worth of water in no time.

I tried all settings and found no difference, it still takes a long time to get hot water.

Not the fastest in the world; to make an entire pot takes about 15 minutes. HUGE design flaw--- you have to pour PAINFULLY slow or else you pour an additional cup all over your counter. Seems to have more to do with the angle, I switched to pouring over my sink and have had fewer spills. Still, a consideration....
