How long does it take for the coffee be ready, from the moment you plug the heater in?

It takes few minutes more than conventional bialetti, but it's really great anyway. You can plug it just when the Mona is ready. I use it in my office most of the time! I love it.

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 make a nice, big cup of coffe with mine. About 16 oz. I've never actually timed it but I would guess about 5 minutes all told, including the time it takes for the grounds to finish draining. Might take less if you don't gring your coffe as fine as I do.

No, however, grind coffee medium, grind (for 4-6 cups) and add to filter. Fill with cold water, leave in frig or on counter. Coffee is ready in about 7-10 hours.

Once warmed up, the machine takes approximately 15-20 seconds for a double cup of black coffee. Cappuccino takes a bit longer. Additionally, its possible that you will have to refill its small water reservoir and maybe empty the grounds. All of the above could frustrate some at the back of the line.

Only several minutes, this is the best coffee maker I have ever had and when I have guest they are very impressed, it is beautiful and works fine

It takes about 2 minutes to heat up and 2 minutes to brew a great cup of coffee. It takes all k cups I've tried and I even bought the kind you fill with your own coffee and it works great too. Believe me- best coffee pot I've bought in years.

I have the plug in type, and I also have the one for the car or rv. I would say it will boil water in about 3-4 minutes, depending on how hot you like your water.

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

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.

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!

I never really stood and waited to see. I just plug it in and it does its thing...i would say within 15 min its boiling...

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

I just run in thru again without the grounds after the warmer timer shuts off. I have mine set for 4 hours..... but if your drinking good coffee you wouldnt have to re-heat, It should be already gone and making another fresh pot.

It should only take a minute or two. If yours doesn't come on then you may have a bad sensor or switch (bulb). Honestly, I don't pay attention to ANY of the "ready" lights on the Gaggia. The ready indicator for the pump is too fast and I find that the machine likes to sit for a good 5-10 minutes before brewing to fully heat up. I also ignore the steam indicator, as it also is far too fast. I give my machine about 3 minutes to fully heat the steam in the boiler and purge it once every minute or so to eliminate any unwanted water in the wand. I have had much better results this way, especially after installing the Sylvia steam wand.

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!

It doesn't take that long to get it ready (water) - I'd say a minute at most. The only reason to keep it running that long is if you wanted to warm your cup/s or shot glass/es (at the top of the unit). But the quick answer is "yes".
