How long does this machine take to brew 12 cups? Also, what is the wattage?

It is a usual regular U.S. plug & it is super fast. I was thinking it would take awhile to heat the tater first but it is actually fast . I think it is the best coffee maker we ever bought & I ordered another one for back up incase something were to happen to this one. I researched & looked for a month or so before & after we tried it my husband said go ahead & buy another just for later.

The coffee maker is 1000 watt. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes to brew 12 delicious hot cups of coffee!

I've been using this coffee maker for about 3-4 months now. Seems like it will brew a whole pot in about 6-8 minutes. I think that smaller amounts would take a little less. Be prepared to use a courser grind of coffee or you will get sediment. The pot comes with an auxilary filter you put directly in the pot to trap this extra sediment if you decide to run the finely ground coffee instead. Still happy with the purchase.

It can make 3 to 3.5 cups of coffee (us standard units of measurement). My favorite coffee brewer.

You should consider this machine to be load limited (full-time and NOT counting higher starting loads!) to around 1600 watts (figure about 15 amps). Without knowing the running/starting loads of each appliance (should be listed in the specs), it's not possible to give you a better answer. Good unit though, starts easily and runs quietly.

With coffee and tea a 'cup' is usually considered 5-7 fl oz. In this brewer, it's 5 fl oz. So, 12 cups is just under 60 oz of brewed coffee (accounting for water left in the grounds and a little evaporation). Measure your mugs and divide into 60. I have some huge mugs marked 16 oz, but that's to the top. I actually pour about 13-14 oz into them, so I'd get about 4.5 mugs - equal to nearly 3 normal 'cups'. That's a lot of coffee! :) I don't think you're really going to find a larger residential brewer, whether it's this 'on demand' style or a standard carafe. Everything I've seen has 40-60 oz reservoirs and carafes (8-12 5-oz cups). With coffee and tea a 'cup' is usually considered 5-7 fl oz. In this brewer, it's 5 fl oz.

No, you select the amount of beans you want to grind then you add the water into the reservoir. You can brew from 2-12 cups.

About 1/2 of a 12 cup pot of coffee. That turns into 3 "real" sized coffee mugs full. This is not a carafe that will keep your beverage hot for 12 hours. It is great for getting the coffee out of the pot before it starts to burn from the heat plate. We have 2 and have used them every day for over a year. We really like them.

I would say about 15 minutes. It really is novelty type item as running the cup under warm water has the same effect. I like it cause it stores my 6 coffee mugs and is on a timer. So when I get up in the morning, both my cups and the Coffee Machine (Z7) are warmed up and ready to go. Besides, the thing looks great on the countertop!

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

24 Watts. But it gets very hot so you need to protect your desk. Place it out of the way so you won't accidentally come in contact with it with your bare hands or arms. It is the only one I've found that actually keeps my coffee close to the starting temperature. I sometimes leave my cup off for awhile to let the coffee cool down some. Great item!

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.

Not long. A nice feature is that you can pour a cup or two while the coffeemaker is still brewing if you are in a real hurry! I would say the time from adding water, starting machine for grinding and brewing is less than 10 minutes. Also, if you set it up the night before, it will be ready when you get to the kitchen!

It takes about 5 minutes to brew. If you have a refrigerator that makes ice, then it;s great. If you are limited by the amount of ice on hand, it can be disappointing, because it does use a lot of ice every time you brew. Hope this helps

I would say this makes ONE big cup of coffee, 4 cup coffee maker when the standard is 12. Hope that helps.

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.

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.

I haven't timed it. Offhand, I would say that it takes about as long as one of those small coffee makers that are found in most hotel rooms. I'll time it over the weekend and give you a better answer on Monday.
