Timed from button push, Saeco took 50 sec to brew 8 oz coffee at 6 (out of 18) setting. At similar setting, how long to brew 8 oz on this machine?

About 2 min for the brew from turn on , it's just all the issues that go along with this equipment every other morning another issue

I have never timed the process. It seems to me is very quick. Nintey nine percent of the time I use the timer and the coffee is waiting for me in the morning. The best of 3 well know brands of coffee makers I have gone through in the past 2 years. Would recommend.

I only make a six-cup pot of coffee, and timed the process this morning with my Thermopen kitchen timer. From the time I pushed the start button (Mozart song plays the first time) until the Mozart song played the second time (signaling the brew process is complete) was 7 minutes, 54 seconds. I then let the pot sit another 3 minutes before pouring my first cup so most of the coffee can drain out of the secondary filter that is clipped into the pot, or carafe. I always take the secondary filter out of the carafe, or pot before pouring a cup of coffee. The filter will have some, not much, coffee remaining in it. I can not say how long for a full pot, or 12 cup pot of coffee. Hopes this helps. I only make a six-cup pot of coffee, and timed the process this morning with my Thermopen kitchen timer.

It recommends brewing for 3 minutes. That is what I have been doing and it takes great.

There are two size buttons on the machine. The Espresso button brews 1 oz. and the coffee button brews a 6 oz. cup. That was a big part of my disappointment with the product because the pods are so expensive and it takes 3 to make a decent size cup of coffee.

It takes about 2 minutes for it to warm up before it's ready to brew. But after its all warmed up and you press the double shot button it takes about 20 seconds to brew. Make sure the doors to all the bedrooms are shut because its loud for the wee hours of the morning, but all espresso machines are loud. By the time you carefully scoop the coffee without making a mess with the grounds it should be ready to brew as soon as your finished with the grounds and your cup (and the chocolate and sugar if you're making a mocha and blah blah blah...)

Hi John... not sure what coffee you are using. The filters need dense, high-altitude coffee or the water will run too fast. But yes, generally try a finer grind and add a little coffee, there will be an optimal balance at which it will brew in 3-4 minutes. If you keep having issues let us know!

It's a pushbutton, but it's very fast and coffee is best drunk ASAP after brewing. It takes less than 2 minutes to brew.

I have never timed it ... but if you put hot water in the carafe first then empty and brew ... I think it stays hot for about 2 hours ... I like my coffee super hot so I usually drink it before long ... hope this helps!

Try about 6 scoops then adjust to your liking. All depends on the coffee and your taste. Take care of your machine, it was the best coffee maker I ever had and is no longer available.

You'll just have to experiment a bit. For 2 tablespoons of coffee for 16 oz water, I turn the timer from 6 o'clock (off) to between 8 and 9 o'clock.

I'm sorry John A. finds my coffee methods offensive however, that is what is to my liking. I also recently discovered using the press to do a cold brew method where the coffee grounds soak in room temperature or chilled water for about 12 hours before being pressed. It is much sweeter and richer than using hot water for a faster brew...I mix it in the evening and it's ready for the morning.

I think this partly depends on your comfort with the grinder. I'd say maybe 15 seconds for an 8-cup french press, which is what I used. If you struggle with getting the groove, you might find beans jumping occasionally or you will get "stuck" during a rotation. Once you know your preferred surface and get in the groove with the right even pressure, it's a piece of cake.

For enough beans for a 12-cup pot of drip coffee, it only takes about 5 seconds at most. It is easy to increase the time on the timer while it is running in the event you see the beans are not going to be finished.

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.

about 3-4 minutes. I have had mine for over a year and even with the hard water, I didn't have an issue with the flow until a few weeks ago. Once I did a descaling (vinegar) all has been good again. We brew about 4-5 pots of coffee every day.

This unit makes a shot up to a cup of coffee (5oz). The HD8751/47 unit makes a "tall" coffee. But if you want to stick with this unit you can adjust your bean level and the amount of water for the brew. Then you can do two 4 oz cups to make the 8 ounce. I have this unit. A friend has the "tall" unit. I think it is worth the extra money.
