We roast and ship on a weekly or bi weekly basis to provide the freshest coffee possible. Usually there is a few week turn around, but we have a best buy date of six months so that coffee doesn't sit around for too long before it reaches the consumer.

Mine takes about 6 minutes. This brand has lasted much, much longer than Mr. Coffee brand. I am very satisfied with it.

The expiration date is not as important as the ROASTING date. Usually coffee expires 2 months after it was roasted, the flavor just isn´t the same. Not many roasters place the date of raosting on their bags. Usually, the best date to consume coffee is between day 1 and 10 after being roasted. Optimally if you can buy Whole Bean and grind it yourself; this promote optimum flavor.

It depends on what type of roast you are using and the fineness of the grind. Generally it takes about 2 minutes for this to drain with a medium coarse grind so it works best for light roast coffees. You can also use it with dark roasts but those usually taste better with a longer steep around the 4 minute mark. When I make light roast coffee I use this and when I make med or dark roast I use a french press. I use this item at work every day and I love it. It's easy to clean too. But if you want something really quick a Keurig type machine is your best bet or an espresso machine.

I haven't timed it exactly, but I made the coffee at about 7:30 and finished it at about 11 one morning. It wasn't piping hot like it is when it's fresh out of the coffeemaker, but it was definitely more than just lukewarm.

Only used the single brew once. Uses too much coffee beans. Takes longer because water steeps longer over burr grind. 4 to 5 minutes seems right.

My experience it takes between 11 and 12 minutes from plug in to finish. Have not done stovetop so I am not able to compare. Nice hot coffee without any overcooked smell or taste.

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

That's one of those questions with no "right" answer but many correct ones. It's kind of like asking how long does it take to paint a house. Mine take between 7 and 10 minutes. I overfill it by a ton too. Like everyone else says, depends on the batch size, desired roast, bean size and even the weather. I don't even use the timer, in fact I would disable it if I could. I would say experiment with it with the amounts the directions say to use and keep track of your roasts until you arrive at what works for you. I stuck a thermometer through a slot and screen in the top so it just sits in the top of the beans, I go by that and not the time.

It takes about 10 min. Best coffee I have ever made at home. My guests rave about it. Make sure you get coffee ground for a perculator

It depends upon the mug size as well as your flavor setting (steeping time.) Typically 5-7 minutes for a large (16oz) cup.

I am tempted to just answer "hours", but of course "it depends" (sorry!). I think if you just pour from a freshly brewed pot of coffee into this awesome Nissan-Thermos stainless-steel mug, you should easily get at least 2 or 3 hours of hot coffee. Personally I drink 14 oz. of coffee much faster than that! But the real trick to this double-walled, vacuum construction is to PRE-heat the cup! First, run hot water from your tap (as scalding as you want) and then pour it into the cup, close it, and set it aside while you make your coffee. I assume the vacuum (?) stainless-steel gets heated up. Then, when you dump out the hot water moments before you pour your hot coffee in, it's almost as if you have a heated thermos! Using this method before a 2 hour commute I don't even notice a decrease in temperature at all. It seems to me that it will then stay hot 4 or 5 hours or even more! Obviously I am a huge fan of this "Nissan" Thermos brand.

I like my coffee pretty bold so I use dark roasts and grind fine (expresso grind). Run my grinder about 10 sec. I also use paper filters instead of the gold filter because of this.

I do - a caveat though: I had to mod the thermostat to get higher temps for darker roasts in a reasonable time. It's not hard to do.I've roasted with this model for 6-8 months, actually I just did about 1/2 lb through mine in several (4?) batches this evening I encourage everyone to try. It isn't hard at all. Just watch and listen. Sweetmarias.com has a guide that is helpfull.Doesn't make very much in each roast session but that means you usually have coffee at most 2 days old. I glued a piece of nylon screen across the intakes on the bottom to stop the chaff from sucking through and burning.Some people make a chaff catcher, but I just roast in the garage and sweep it up.Drew - I do - a caveat though: I had to mod the thermostat to get higher temps for darker roasts in a reasonable time.

Standard button about 10 minutes (same as MR Coffee) Aroma button about 20 minutes (10-12 cups)

I does well. You can set the heat level and the time for roasting. You are going to judge the roast by sight and smell so you have to experiment a bit. Record your results so that you can duplicate the process. If you over roast and everything has carmelized you just have a dark and tasteless brew. I truly do love my SR500. I've learned that slightly lighter than a Full City roast gets most of my beans, whatever the source to the place that I like. Sometimes I adjust but that's normal with green beans from different sources and moisture content.

I'm guessing about 6 months from purchase. Mine shows on the bottom November, 2014 and I got it in May I think. Good coffee if you like dark coffee without acidity. Hope this helps you.
