I read it takes about 7 minutes to boil tea - that seems to be a longer time than most - is this correct?

It's quicker then a normal pot and I would assume it would be as quick as any other electric kettle. It probably depends a large degree on how much water your boiling. It's never taken me 7 minutes but I never fill it to the top.

No this is the quickest kettle I have ever used. Once you select the type of tea you are making( green , black etc) total time for a full kettle is 3-4 minutes.

no way. i mean, it takes longer the more water you have in it, but this is by far the fastest way to boil/warm up water. so much faster than my stove. but i never remember it taking 7 minutes to boil.

green tea water should not come to a rolling boil- stop heating right before kettle whistle starts. Steep for no more than 3 minutes- 2 is really optimum for me.

5-6 hrs if all you are doing is bringing up to a boil and maintaining a steady boil.That is based on boiling 14 gallons in a 60 qt pot.

It takes approx. 18 minutes to heat to boiling. However, I returned this unit & purchased a more expensive Zojirushi(sp?) because it did not heat to the indicated temp, nor would it keep the water at a sufficient true temp to do pourover coffee, which is what I purchased it for. The Zojirushi takes a similar time to heat to boil, but works all day long to keep water at indicated temp. It(zojirushi) even worked well at an outdoor event on a cold day, though for that I had pre heated water that I poured into the unit to get & keep at proper temp.

Water boils very quickly...under 5 minutes! I ALWAYS use filtered or bottled water...I think that improves the life of the kettle.

Not long, about 5-7 minutes. Put a timer on because the pot does not whistle and before you know it the pot is boiling.

Here is a comparison. 5 cups of water in a 1500w Hamilton Beach tea kettle takes 4 min 57 sec to boil, True Induction using a pot the same diameter as the tea kettle set to the highest heat setting takes 5 min 36 sec.

That seems awfully long. I just made 6 cups this morning and it was under 5 minutes.

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.

This pot is not insulated so I would say the tea remains hot like 30 min. If you need to keep your tea hot more than this, I would recommend that you buy a thermos bottle. They sell some very good around here. This item is very nice and I recommend.

No and no. Put the tea leaves in the basket, pour boiling water into the basket and then put the press cover on, leaving the rod out while the tea brews. After the brewing time (depending on the tea leaves, I use 4-7 minutes), press the rod down to stop the brewing process and enjoy. I would not put the pot on a hot burner and never in a microwave because the basket is made of metal.

When filled to the max line, to my recollection because I only did this twice when I first purchased it, it took somewhere around eight minutes. The typical amount I boil, which is to the minimum line, takes roughly two minutes.

Yes, it does. I'd estimate about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on hot hot your water started. It's roughly 2 hours until the tea hits room temperature (which only happens when I forget about it).

Put your tea in the mesh part and pour your hot (not boiling) water over the tea. Let steep. Depending upon the type of tea anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes. I would never set anything made of glass directly on a hot surface such as the stove.

I have only made either 12 cups or 10 cups - to me not a significant difference in brewing time. It makes sense a smaller pot brewed would take less time. I have learned when the music plays to signal brewing has finished - it has not - that by giving it another 3 to 5 minutes it will completely finish.

Just tested for you. A full 1.5L water bring to boil and stop it takes 7 minutes and 50 second on my kettle.

I think it depends on the weather conditions and the amount of water you're boiling. In perfect weather, it takes about 5-7 minutes I guess and that's using 1.5 fuel tablets. It's just a simple cup stove and works fine as that. Hope this helps.
