How long does the BUNN VPS 12-Cup take to warm up, from the time its switched on? Also how long does a pot of coffee take to brew?

We leave ours plugged in all the time. It warms up instantly and the pot is done in about 5 minutes.

This is an awesome machine. It brews very hot. Just make sure you leave your keep hot setting on for however long you will be wanting coffee. I have mine set for 2 hrs which is generally how long it takes us to finish the pot.

About 10-15 minutes. There is a timer build in so if you only have coffee say in the morning around 7am, you could have it turn on at 6 and off at 8. I keep mine on all day as it does not draw very much power.

I would say at least an hour. I'm always done with mine before it gets cool. I use it for my coffee too.

Hi, Kathy. I looked a long time for a coffee maker that that was if good quality and had a thermal carafe that would keep the coffee reasonable hot/warm all morning. I didn't want a hot plate heater, as the coffee didn't taste very good after a few hours and they would use a lot of electricity. I worried that the Bunn would use a lot of electricity with it's instant hot water reservoir, but my bill doesn't show any change because it is well insolated. I have been very happy with my choice. I'm 85 and I have seen lots more coffee makers than most folks.Regards, hope this is helpful, OldHenry Hi, Kathy.

I have the same machine and i think you should let it run for 15 minutes to get the whole machine to get hot and then start make you coffee and it will be around 180F..

The BUNN brews at approximately 200 degrees (the correct temperature; much hotter than Keurig), but of course what comes out will be about 10-15 degrees cooler (because it has to pass through the grounds which are at room temperature).

If you select the option to brew a cup (versus a carafe) and choose mug size 4 of 9 (there are 9 size options!) I think it takes about 6 or 7 minutes. The timing also depends on the flavor profile you choose - if you like it more robust (like I do), the machine will dispense the water into the grounds and hold it there a while to let it steep.

This is the best coffee maker we've owned. It can be programmed to shut off after 1,2, or 3 hours. You can have 2 programs. The manual states: "For best results we recommend brewing only as much coffee as you will consume in 30-60 minutes. Taste is affected the longer the coffee is allowed to sit on the heating plate." We program our Krups to brew the coffee in time for breakfast and program it to turn off in 1 hour.

Filled to the 12 cup mark, mine takes 16 minutes to brew- WHEN ON "STRONG" SETTING.

If I am understanding your question, the machine does stop after two hours. This is not adjustable. you can turn the machine on again but it will take some time for it to warm the coffee left in the pot. I find it does cool off rather quickly, but I just pop it in the microwave....not the best as fresh brew but it is the choice with this machine.

No the coffee pot turns off after a perset time. There is n o way to preset the timer.I haven't tried it but you might be able to leave t on and plug it into a timed outlet and it would turn on.I haven't tried it. E Baker

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 does brew the coffee cold and I don't know how long it takes. I put it in the fridge over night. Probably takes longer than 10. Enjoy.

I've never really timed it, usually push the button and walk away. I get it ready the night before, so I can estimate 8-10 min. I do love this coffeemaker, hot coffee.

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.

It's very quick. I would say about 2-3 minutes. I love this coffee maker. It's so easy and makes great coffee.
