How long to brew 40 cups?

I only used it to hold hot chocolate and cider but it looks like it would be quite fast because it heats up almost immediately and I would guess about 10 minutes. Maybe a better question for someone else.

We used this at our wedding reception. Although I was not paying much attention to the brewing of the coffee, I do know it didn't take long - just a couple of minutes.

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.

With a bit over one cup of grounds (10 Tbs) for 5 cups (6 oz) for coffee = 30 oz. of water.So I use a 32 oz measuring cup and let the coffee sit for 2 min then pour in the filter.This varies sometimes we can do it in one shot and other times it takes two pours.Anyway that's just for 5 cups (6oz) of coffee.

Although I didn't have a chance to use it. The 8-cup setting is my best refer and It would take roughly 5-7 min. to brew on either gas/E-stove. Hope It helps.

Hi - sorry I haven't used it much for 36 cups - I just use a level measuring tablespoon for every cup I want to brew and that gives a nice strong result. If I remember my Home Ec days, there are 16 tablespoons in a cup.

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.

The brew time is approx 1.5 hours; steep the grains about 30 mins, and boil up to an hour. Start to finish, with setup and cleanup allow yourself several hours so you are not rushing things, read and follow all the directions and you will be happy with the results....

I would say approximately 20 to 25 minutes depending on how many cups you are cooking. I usually cook 2 cups.

2 ways to brew. With hot water it's only about 5 minutes or so. The other option is to place the bags in cold water and let it sit overnight.

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.

In my experience, if you are using the infuser you will need to brew at least 16oz, about two large cups

You control the brewing time by choosing when to open the valve, just like you control the brewing time with a french press by choosing when to press the plunger. So you can make either of them take less than 4 minutes but you'll end up with weaker coffee. The strength of the coffee relative to brewing time is going to be pretty much the same between this and a french press.

I only brewed a mug of coffee once but I would guess about 3-4 minutes. I had it on the mild setting though. The mug was not as strong as the pot. If you like strong coffee then I would definitely recommend this coffee maker.

that sounds like a long time. I have never timed it, but I usually brew about 6 cups and don't feel it takes a long time. There is also the option to pour a cup before the brewing is complete. It will stop until you put the carafe back in.

It takes about 2 minutes to heat up and 2 minutes to brew a great cup of coffee. It takes all k cups I've tried and I even bought the kind you fill with your own coffee and it works great too. Believe me- best coffee pot I've bought in years.

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...
