does the water dispense quickly ? Some coffee urns pour out very slowly and I was wondering if this pours the water out quickly

Yes, the water dispenses quickly. The water heats up quite fast, too! And the water remains hot even 30 minutes after the switch is turned off.

This is not a coffee urn. It is a hot water boiler used at our AA meetings primarily to make cups of tea. Our hot water boiler is used 5 nights a week and there is an average meeting attendence of 30-40 people. Water dispences just fine. No complaints.

Yes it pours out quickly and the one thing that bothers me is that it splashes when it comes out.

If it is full, it pours consistently at a nice flow, when it gets low, it pours very slowly. I love this Urn...

Other than instant coffee--no. I use a percolator. I also use a small filter for the basket, which stops sediment from getting into the water in the percolator. This is really good coffee but needs a coffee maker or percolator. Good luck!

No it is not really fast. It clogs periodically and leaks some black stuff. Hope this helps.

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

Yes. In fact it dispenses really quick so you don't want to take your eyes off of the glass you are filling. I have mine on a sun tea jar, replacing the original faucet that came with the jar because it always leaked. This faucet hasn't leaked yet and it is like my third summer using it.

Yes it does, not instantaneous, but in a couple of minutes to 5 when it's cold and using cold water. I use cooler water that comes through the filtration system in my fridge.

It's supposed to come out slowly, it won't flow like a faucet. I always say I can pee faster than the water can come out and it's probably true. I store the water in jugs and use it when I need it. If you are getting water flow I'm sure you have it hooked up correctly.

If you are using decaf (or like we do, a mix of reg and decaf), there is something about the grounds that inhibits flow and Bunn makes a 'shower' tip nozzle to slightly slow the flow down. I wish they would ship the shower nozzle with their coffee maker, but it's a special order part. It's not expensive though, and I think you can get it here on Amazon for under 5 bucks.

I've never timed it. It's fairly short, maybe 5 minutes. I believe it percs too quickly because there is evidence that the water is overloading the basket containing the coffee grounds. A significant quantity of grounds end up in the bottom of the pot and in your cup when the coffee is poured.

No, the unit brews coffee so fast usually within six minutes and by itself it occasionally fills the basket getting coffee everywhere. Adding the paper will slow the flow resulting in a flood on your counter. Please do not ignore the bad reviews on this maker like I did. You'll wind up with buyers remorse very quickly as it's beauty does not last. All the open seams allow stains and coffee grinds to get everywhere inside this unit where you cannot clean.

Is this a trick question? It's a six cup filter so six cups can be held within the filter, I assume; however, as you are pouring water it the top, coffee is pouring out the bottom. I've always thought that a slow pour made better stronger coffee...washing back down the damp grounds that cling to the side. So the way I pour. which maybe takes a minute, probably makes eight or nine cups of coffee. Wait two to five minutes and pour the remaining heated water to get the full twelve cups if you wish. Probably not ideal for filling a serve yourself carafe in a coffe shop. You'd likely want to leave the apparatus unattended for a couple of minutes and do something else.

Hello,yes that's normal - it only takes a couple seconds while water runs through capsule. Enjoy your coffee :))Ingrid

I have found that mine has only overflowed once. I used the "clean" option when this happened and replaced the filter. I have not had any problems since. Great coffee maker. I'd but it again.

just pull pot out pour and put it back quickly, the filter basket bottom is spring loaded to stop dripping when carafe is out but it can fill fast. hope you like good coffee.

No, it is only a thermos dispenser. I use hot water to heat the thermos first. When the coffee is brewed, I empty the hot water from the thermos and then pour in the hot coffee. The coffee stays hot for a LONG time!

Besides being poorly designed, it may be clogged with grounds. Mine would dispense slowly and that was the cause.

I flush coffee grounds down this thing every single day. I usually wait until all of my 4 days of french presses are dirty, then I rinse all grounds into the drain, then I run cold water, turn on the disposal, a jolt is heard, some loud noises for a couple seconds (due to 4 days of coffee grounds) then its smooth and quiet and all is well. I have been doing this with every disposal I have ever had though, and never was there a problem
