How long does it take to boil water in this?

I haven't been using the fuel cubes- I have been putting my smallTatoo fuel stove into the bottom part, where the cube goes. Thus, I've been using fuel, not cubes, so I can't tell you how long a cube would take. With alcohol fuel, it takes me about 6 - 8 minutes.

Shasta, I have tried it at sea level and in high altitude inside an igloo, in the first place it took me about 5 minutes with one fuel tablet, in the other case with one tablet of fuel I was not able to reach boiling point, probably because I was under snow, ambient temperature was -5 deg C, and water was almost at freezing temperature. I hope this info helps you.

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.

Maybe 15-20 minutes?? Not long. And I love the unit because the water stays really hot.

I've never boiled water in it. Put the water AND the rice in at the same time. About 30 minutes to perfect steamed white rice. I've heard that brown rice takes a little longer.

Water boils in 1-4 minutes depending on how full it is. Not only is it great for hot drinks, it's a great time saver for boiling water for pasta, etc. since you can quickly get up to boiling temperature before you put the water in the pot. I was considering a single-cup brewing system until I got this. No need for it now thanks to this product.

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.

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.

Depends on how much you have in the pot, but usually around 2-5 minutes (depending on the type of range you have). My expereince is that electric takes longer than gas or induction.

About a minute if you preheat water to almost boiling in a separate cup in the microwave and then pour into pot.

I timed ours between 10-11 minutes. A bit slower then our previous kettle but ok for us.

It depends on how much water you want and what the initial temp of that water is. But, I did do a test for you. If you want a full pot (1.5L) of water (I used my cold tap water because that is the filtered side of my kitchen sink) it takes 6 minutes and 50 seconds. Usually it takes about 10 minutes or more to boil that on the stove top. But, like I said, it depends on the water temp and how much you need.

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

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.

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.

That depends on how much water you have in the kettle and if the water is warm or cold when you put it in. My guess is it take about two or three minutes, on average. It is definitely faster than a manual kettle on the burner. By the way...I have used electric kettles all my adult life. This is one of the best I have ever had. My friends have admired my kettle and bought one for themselves. So did my church!

It should about 3-4 minutes. If quantity of water in the tank is less it heats up quicker.

I bring water to a full boil, remove from heat for about 30 seconds and then pour. You want it about 200F when you pour it in. Don't pour it in at full boil.

I've never tried to boil just water in this product. A full measure of rice takes about 30 minutes to cook.
