How fast from switch on to a cup of espresso? What is the warm up time?

It is quite fast. I switch on first and grid coffee from grinder which has coffee beans, tamping. During this time machine is already ready for a coffee. There is no warming up function on the top of machine but you can warm the cup with the water from milk floater. Before the machine pull out steam they send out hot water first.

If you are just pulling a shot of espresso it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. If you are making two capuccino's it will take about 15 minutes because it looses pressure/steam pretty quickly. The machines sucks, sorry for your purchase.

The amount of coffee is limited to 10grams, and the amount of water (in seconds) is programmable. The amount of time to cycle out the old puck and grind coffee for another cup s approximately 10 seconds. So, for a cup of coffee it takes about a minute. This is really more of a personal coffee maker....if you're looking to make 5 cups of coffee you'd have to refill the water reservoir several times. In my opinion....you should look for a higher capacity unit.

I timed mine this morning so I could give you an accurate answer. From the time I pressed the start button until the ready beeps sounded it was exactly 11 minutes and 45 seconds. This is much faster than my old black and decker coffee maker. With this one you don't have to wait for the ready beep since you can dispense coffee at any time during the brewing process.

Super easy, you push the button on the left to turn the machine on. The button on the right will then start blinking, once it stops blinking it is heated and ready to use. You pop in a capsule (lift lever, there is only one way it fits, very intuitive), lower the lever and press the right (yellow) button. Manual just means that you have to press the button again to stop it. With automatic there is a fixed amount that comes out, with manual you can decide how strong/big you want your coffee to be. Make sure there is water in the reservoir before you use. Once finished, just push the left button again to switch off the machine.

It will vary on the size of cup you choose and the steeping time you choose. The steeping time is controlled by the "flavor" setting. The amount of coffee that is ground is controlled by the "strength" setting. I brew the largest mug (which is about 4 cups* of coffee) into my carafe. It takes a good 10 minutes. The clock changes to a count down meter to tell you how long before it is done. If I were to tell the machine to brew 4 cups into the Carafe using the carafe setting and not changing anything on the flavor or strength setting, it would brew in just a couple of minutes (about 5, I never really timed it) but it will grind much more coffee because it is not using the steep process. Because there are no standardized cups, this assumes every cup of coffee is 5oz. Not in my book, probably not yours either. You've got to hand it to Breville, their coffee maker is smarter than we are. I believe they have thought of everything for this model and it makes wonderful coffee. Better than any restaurant, hotel, casino, coffee house. It's not a coffee maker you're just able to take out of the box and get it right the first time. Once you adjust your thinking as to what the "flavor" and "strength" setting do, you'll discover your utopia. You will have to experiment with it though. I was lucky, I found my "utopia" after just 3 tries. *the 4 cups is what the tank says it uses to brew my "mug" of coffee.

Grinding 16 grams of coffee for an Aeropress takes me probably 3 minutes. That's double the coffee needed for a single shot of espresso, but I'm incredulous of claims of less than 30 seconds.

Depending on your preference, roast, and beans used, I'd say around 25 seconds. It does not have a grind timer, so you get to stand there with your finger on the button and let the noise, aroma, and anticipation carry you away!

The best thing about this is that once it is full, it takes very little time to heat back up to 212F from 195F (holding temp; that can be varied -I believe there are 3 preset temps) so it is a huge timesaver in the morning for that first cup of coffee. However, as others have commented, it takes ~10 min to heat to boiling the first 4 litres of water.

No timer, but it does switch itself off once it's brewed the coffee, and then switches to a keep warm mode. Starting with cold water, it takes about 90 minutes to brew a full pot.

It is relatively quick - I would say approximately 5 -10 minutes. The water in the bottom needs to come to a boil, then is forced through the coffee and results in the espresso. It is completely finished when you hear the bubbling noise. It makes a 2 cup espresso. Add frothed milk and you have a cappuccino.

I would say at least an hour. I'm always done with mine before it gets cool. I use it for my coffee too.

I made a latte this morning and with an instant read thermometer it came back at 146 degrees F. That was after the cup was warmed with boiling water as well. Not sure what a Lungo or espresso would come back as.

I wish I could give you an answer, but there are too many variables that go into the idea setting for your choice of coffee and espresso machine. While time consuming the best grind setting will take a bit of trial and error. Good luck!

I timed it. From cold tap water, it started brewing in 20 seconds and completed with a 12-cupful carafe in just under 10 minutes. This was on the "regular" setting. "Bold" would of course take a little longer but probably not much.

If you keep the coffee maker (not espresso side) on for at least half an hour it does heat up the cups but only slightly. The espresso side turns itself off. If heating cups is a high priority this might not be the machine for you.

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 helps if you turn on the system 5 or 10 minutes before running the first cup. If I'm going to add cream, I put the cream in the cup, microwave 15 seconds then run my coffee.
