How long exactly does it take for the water to be brought to a boil? In the description is says "quickly", but I want to know more specifically.

Using non-scientific methods, I would say that the water is brought to a boil in 1 to 1.5 minutes.

OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil. "Completely boil" means boil for a few seconds and then the "on" button automatically turns off. It starts boiling at around 5-6 minutes, but it's safer to leave it boiling for a little bit to kill the bacteria - that's probably why it doesn't shut off until about a minute later. I normally put in about 2 cups of water in the morning, just enough for my coffee and a little extra, and this takes about 1-2 minutes to boil. It's pretty convenient/saves time when you do it this way. Hope this helps! OK, I timed it this morning, and a full pot (water to the max line) took probably 6-7 minutes to completely boil.

I timed it using 40 degree well water with slight scale deposits and came up with 6 1/4 minutes, with hot tap water and same scale it took 4 1/4 minutes.

No this is the quickest kettle I have ever used. Once you select the type of tea you are making( green , black etc) total time for a full kettle is 3-4 minutes.

We usually make 6 cups, and it doesn't take anymore than 5 minutes. I've never actually timed it but it doesn't seem to take very long at all. So a full pot should take approx. 10 minutes.

Water boils very quickly...under 5 minutes! I ALWAYS use filtered or bottled water...I think that improves the life of the kettle.

You can also high boil 7 to 10 minutes & low boil 5 minutes. If you boil too long the water diminishes.

I measured 3 quarts of water into the kettle....it was very full, but not overflowing. It took about 15 minutes, but it did boil. Hope this answers your question!

About 5 minutes give or take to boil. I love this product but the only thing is, I'm using it more than I thought I would so I would have bought the next size up. 3.2 sounds like enough but then I started using it for other things because it is so handy.

Depends upon the volume of water in the kettle. Normally, it takes just a couple of minutes if you are boiling enough for two mugs of tea or coffee.

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.

You need to cook with boiling water..some meals require you to add to boiling water and then reduce heat to simmer for 15-18 minutes. Hope this is helpful.

you cab leave it at a preset setting (warm) and it will take about 15 minutes to get there. Or you can turn it on high and in about 1-2 minutes it is hot and you will need to turn the settings down or it will start to boil the water.

I think it's like 10 min, not for sure. I used a microwave steamer, steamer bag or the dishwasher. I didn't have time to wait around for water to boil etc.

Ive never timed it. It heats up quickly but it would depend on size of pot and how much water.

Wondering... how quickly do you feel the water should come to a boil? Peeked this morning as was a little surprised to see some coffee had already appeared in the top portion eventhough there was not a full rolling boil going on below. Wondered if I had the stove setting a little too low. Thoughts?

I'm not sure. I usually put cold water in and have a gas stove an it seems to boils pretty quick. There are a lot of variables though that go into how fast it will boil on different stoves, etc. It definitely does not take longer to boil than any other teapots I've ever had.

It depends more on your stove and how much water you are boiling. The pot has a large capacity, If you fill it, boiling can take about 10 minutes on my stove, which is a Viking. The less water, the shorter the boiling time.

I have boiled mine.. and I have not. No noticeable difference although when you boil a bunch of it at a time it does release stuff into the water whether it is natural stuff or not. I usually boil for 5 mins. dump water out and boil again for a few minutes.
