Timed from button push, Saeco took 50 sec to brew 8 oz coffee at 6 (out of 18) setting. At similar setting, how long to brew 8 oz on this machine?

It takes about 45 seconds. Add another 90 seconds if you have to turn it on first. It stays on for 4 hours before auto off.

Very short, never timed it. I love this coffee maker, coffee is great. Worth a short wait.

It takes about 2 minutes for it to warm up before it's ready to brew. But after its all warmed up and you press the double shot button it takes about 20 seconds to brew. Make sure the doors to all the bedrooms are shut because its loud for the wee hours of the morning, but all espresso machines are loud. By the time you carefully scoop the coffee without making a mess with the grounds it should be ready to brew as soon as your finished with the grounds and your cup (and the chocolate and sugar if you're making a mocha and blah blah blah...)

Hi Susan. I haven't yet brewed a full pot! I only make around 5 or 6 cups at a time and that takes about 5 minutes. I'm happy to brew a full pot over the weekend and give you an accurate answer if you wanna wait for me...

1/2 hour or so to make the 40 cups. Not sure if it shuts off automatically when it goes dry. Love the machine though... I often make 8-10 cups and it works great. Looks great and saves me transferring the coffee to thermos for coffee table. I have a catering company and use it for that.

I normally make a 12 cup brew, and it takes about the same time, so I'm not sure why your 2 cup brew would be as long?? My theory is to make 12 cups at one time, and microwave the coffee in my cup for the next couple days, but if you have an aversion to that, it actually doesn't change the flavor! I can't imagine that a 2 cup brew would take as long as a 12 cup brew, but maybe it's inherent in the brewing process??

I have never timed the process. It seems to me is very quick. Nintey nine percent of the time I use the timer and the coffee is waiting for me in the morning. The best of 3 well know brands of coffee makers I have gone through in the past 2 years. Would recommend.

Try about 6 scoops then adjust to your liking. All depends on the coffee and your taste. Take care of your machine, it was the best coffee maker I ever had and is no longer available.

I have a gas stove I brew it on medium, takes about 7 to 8 minutes, the electric on a medium settings cant take much longer.

That's not an easy answer... The stronger the coffee, the smaller the portion. If you like coffee as the manufacturer recommends, then 8 Ounces. If you like yours on the lighter side like a Dunkin Donuts, then roughly 12 ounces. You see, the one button operation brews the coffee, based on the bar code, to the manufacturers spec but, after the brewing is completed, you're given 10 seconds to force more water through the brewer so you can tailor the coffee to your liking.

About 3-5 minutes, but I usually wait for about 10 minutes to make sure it has brewed every drop!

I only make a six-cup pot of coffee, and timed the process this morning with my Thermopen kitchen timer. From the time I pushed the start button (Mozart song plays the first time) until the Mozart song played the second time (signaling the brew process is complete) was 7 minutes, 54 seconds. I then let the pot sit another 3 minutes before pouring my first cup so most of the coffee can drain out of the secondary filter that is clipped into the pot, or carafe. I always take the secondary filter out of the carafe, or pot before pouring a cup of coffee. The filter will have some, not much, coffee remaining in it. I can not say how long for a full pot, or 12 cup pot of coffee. Hopes this helps. I only make a six-cup pot of coffee, and timed the process this morning with my Thermopen kitchen timer.

It takes me about 8-9 minutes to start perking and then continue brewing for a few minutes - this with the percolator full to the "9 cup" mark which as I've reviewed will in fact give you only six cups.

I have a keurig that I use for single cup brewing and it takes less time to grind the beans than it does for the keurig to heat up fully so I'd say about 45 seconds

It recommends brewing for 3 minutes. That is what I have been doing and it takes great.

As it happens, I just boiled water for coffee using my bodium French press which is supposed to be an 8 cup/ Itook about 15 minutes. I am not sure exactly how many onces of water that is, but I should also say it is important not to overfill it. It will still work quickly,

Rebecca, Use the scoop to measure your ground coffee and put it in the small basket. Behind the basket is a small open tank and that's where you put your water. I just use my own measuring Tablespoon and follow the amounts given on my coffee can (Folgers regular coffee + 1Tablespoon coffee grounds per 6 oz water. Then flip the red button and it will light up so you know its on. It wont do anything for several seconds but then you'll hear it start to brew. When its done brewing you have to flip the switch back to the off position. It will not turn off by itself. Don't leave it on as it could be a fire hazard if left long enough. After using it for awhile if the brewing gets slow you can brew a cup of half white vinegar and half water (no coffee.) Let half of the vinegar-water brew and shut off the machine. Let it sit a few hours or overnight. Then turn the machine back on and let the other half of the vinegar-water brew all the way. Then shut it off to cool a little. Then run a cup of plain water all the way through. Repeat the plain water brewing until it doesn't smell like vinegar anymore (usually just 2 brewing cycles.) It will run like new again after you do that. Doesn't need it very often. I adore my Caf Uno and hope you enjoy yours.

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.
