when does the 2 min auto shut off timer start? Last button push, last change in weight, etc. Need to have at least 3 min to make pour over coffee.

I believe it is either the last buttoned pressed or last time an object was set on top of the unit.

I agree with the answers given by George Z. and Ron: automatic turn-off feature after 15 minutes might make leaving the machine "on" a moot point; glass-lined carafe getting cold overnight and then getting hit with VERY hot water automatically; no opportunity to quickly rinse the carafe with warm water before brewing. I would set up what I could the night before: put the filter into the basket, grind the beans and put them into a sealed baggie, but I wouldn't do the timer thing.

No. You press the button and it starts. You press the button again and it stops. It's not at all a problem because you're making espresso--it's not like it takes long to make!

I have never tried brewing only 2 cups of coffee. I brew a full pot, and it takes about 15 to 18 minutes. When you pour your water into the reserve, do you have the same problem I do? It pours down the side of the carafe and all over the counter. Or When it is full of coffee and I go to pour my first cup, it pours down the side of the carafe, and I get it all down the front of my white counters. The time frame to brew coffee is ridiculous. The only thing that works great laughingly is the self timer lol.

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.

You control the brewing time by choosing when to open the valve, just like you control the brewing time with a french press by choosing when to press the plunger. So you can make either of them take less than 4 minutes but you'll end up with weaker coffee. The strength of the coffee relative to brewing time is going to be pretty much the same between this and a french press.

When you hit the brew button it will dispense espresso until you press the button again for it to stop. The unit shuts itself off automatically when you haven't used it for about 20 minutes.

I have it programmed so it is done by the time I get up. A couple of times I did make coffee manually and it seemed like about 3 mins for 10 cups. It is fast on either setting and makes great coffee.

I don't think a timer would work because after this coffee maker is turned on, it only stays on for 15 minutes, then it turns itself off automatically. In other words, you really can't "leave the switch on."

The timer would work. But why can't one wait for 6 minutes for a perfectly brewed and fresh pot of coffee?

There is no setting. You remove the carafe while brewing, pour a cup and return. There is a button that shuts off the filter holder so it won't hold it back forever, but gives you enough time to pour one cup or maybe two. Hope this helps.

1. Make sure clock has been set to correct time of day. 2. Press PRoGRAM (PRoG) button; the AUTo light will flash several times. 3. digital clock displays 12:00 or previous preset delayed brewing start time. Note: If setting is not changed before AUTo light stops flashing, the clock will revert to the correct time of day. You must press the PRoG button again and re-enter your desired brew time. 4. To change time, press HoUR button until desired correct hour appears on display. Repeat with MINUTe (MIN) button within 5 seconds. 5. Press AUTo button to activate delayed brewing. AUTo indicator light will illuminate on digital display screen. 6. To check preset delayed brew time, press PRoG button and display will show time selected for delayed brewing to begin. Press AUTo button to return to delayed Brewing cycle. 7. To cancel AUTo brew, press oN/oFF button to brew coffee, or press oN

No the coffee pot turns off after a perset time. There is n o way to preset the timer.I haven't tried it but you might be able to leave t on and plug it into a timed outlet and it would turn on.I haven't tried it. E Baker

The coffee maker can be pre-programmed to turn on at a specified time. It has the ability to be set to stay on for 1,2,3, or 4 hours and can be set to regular or bold strength.

Turn the function button to "Auto off", set the time with the hour and min buttons to an amount at 4 hours or less and return the function button to "Brew". If you unplug the unit, you will have to complete this process again as the settings only hold while the unit is plugged in.

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 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.
