How fast is the flow rate? We have a GE unit which takes FOREVER to get water (like 2 minutes to fill a coffee pot)

It stinks. I have had mine for 4 months and it takes forever now to fill a cup of water. Really slow all of the sudden.

It's fast. I absolutely LOVE this water cooler!! I highly recommend this. :)

Starts off fast but drops off to extremely slow after a few months. So much so that its not a solid stream by the time it hits your tall glass, even with the glass being almost full

The flow rate on this is pretty good. It takes about 45 seconds to fill a standard coffee pot.

about 3 minutes.. it is a good little brewer, but not as good as the first model. I bought 2 of these and were not worth the $ as they both leak out the reseviour somehow. I already threw one out. My daughter bought me a keurig, use the other one of these at work.. good luck! I have seen some good machines at target since purchasing this that are comprable ini price and look good!

I can't speak for everyone but mine takes about an hour to filter 1 gallon of water. And I use my hose because the filters won't allow much water through and it backed up my plumbing and leaked under my sink. I stopped using it all together

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!

Sometimes mine can take up to a few minutes but rarely longer. Is the pump mechanism installed correctly? Is the water level high enough? (Sorry to ask dumb troubleshooting Qs)

Ordered the Restrictor Flow Head through Bunns Website and they shipped me two for nothing.. Again, thanks to BKBerger for directing me there.. This did indeed address the overflow issue..Items of note: With the ORIGINAL head, water flows through the unit in just a hair under two minutes w/o any paper filter or grinds. With the REPLACMENT head, water flows through the system in a hair over four minutes. A pot of strong brew with abnormally fine grinds, such as mine, took 5 minutes from lid closure to stream-to-drip transition.Hope this helps.. It helped me!!! The clean up totally sucks!!

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 have it set to auto fill a coffee maker split from the fridge water line. Never pressure checked it at the float but the house is 40-60ps. So it should be the same there.

I have a gas stove I brew it on medium, takes about 7 to 8 minutes, the electric on a medium settings cant take much longer.

Here's what I did. I use a water timer. It's noting more than a valve that turns the faucet on and off per program. The system is set for line pressure.Probably 40-60 psi is the industry std. The drippers come in a few different flow rates. You determine the time based on the amt of water you want.If it drips 1gal/hr and you want 2 gals of water in the pot, set timer for 2 hrs ON. The drip rates are estimates, so run it into a jar for 15 mins or so and get your own number. I ordered more drippers. Works pretty good. I suggest a water timer.

If you fill it up to about 3-4 cups of water, it will take about 3 minutes. It's extremely fast. Pour, set it, walk away for a moment and then walk back. Done. :)

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.

I would agree that it's around an hour. It works well, but it does work well, but doesn't quite flow as fast as advertised.

The flow is pretty fast for me, much quicker than my last Brita one. There could be something defect with yours.

I have the same machine. I use mostly fortissimo lungo and it takes about 30 seconds to fill a cup (the largest cup). I use filtered water. My recommendation is to call NESPRESSO customers service and ask them the same question, they are very helpful.

Not the fastest in the world; to make an entire pot takes about 15 minutes. HUGE design flaw--- you have to pour PAINFULLY slow or else you pour an additional cup all over your counter. Seems to have more to do with the angle, I switched to pouring over my sink and have had fewer spills. Still, a consideration....

It doesnt take too long however, I need to update my review because I've since had to buy a new coffee pot cuz this one just stopped working. It just wouldnt brew. I would turn it on and nothing would happen. It wasnt even a year old.
