How long does it take to brew? A french press takes 4 minutes; I need something that is quicker.

Full extraction of a total immersion brewer is going to take about 4 minutes no matter the method. You will save time with this one due to the ease of cleaning with the paper filter. This also is a one cup brew method, unlike your French press which may brew more.

It stands with the same time limits - 3-4 minutes. If you want something quicker - try aeropress. It takes ~1.5 minutes for the cup.

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

It depends on what type of roast you are using and the fineness of the grind. Generally it takes about 2 minutes for this to drain with a medium coarse grind so it works best for light roast coffees. You can also use it with dark roasts but those usually taste better with a longer steep around the 4 minute mark. When I make light roast coffee I use this and when I make med or dark roast I use a french press. I use this item at work every day and I love it. It's easy to clean too. But if you want something really quick a Keurig type machine is your best bet or an espresso machine.

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.

It takes as long as you want it to. You can use it as a pour over and not wait, or let it steep for a couple minutes using the shut off. It all depends on your taste preference.

It takes 20 minutes for it to brew 10 cups of coffee.... I read somewhere to figure 1 minute per cup, but that must kick in when doing a full or almost full urn.

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.

Time depends entirely on the fineness of your grind. A coarse French Press grind can be done in 30 seconds, while a fine espresso grind will run you a couple minutes and a little effort.

i basically agree with the others... i can grind about half a cup of espresso in 5 minutes or so... depends on how focused you are :)

From the time you first push the on switch on back it takes 90 sec. to warm the water to a certain temp., after which it take about 20 seconds to brew a cup. Don't forget their is about 5 different sizes and the pod must say "extra bold" for larger size cups

I usually cook 3 cups and it takes 35 to 40minutes. So I would guess 2 cups might take 30 to 35 minutes.

I timed it this morning using the stop watch on my phone. Grinding 60 beans, enough to make two cups of coffee in my Planetary Designs large french press mug (another excellent product) took 38 seconds. By the way, boiling the water in my Sunbeam Hotshot (another excellent product) took 1 minute and 23 seconds.

It depends on how much water is in it. I usually do a full kettle for brewing iced tea (actually a little over the "max" line) and it takes maybe 5 minutes for a full pot... not entirely sure since I have not timed it, but it doesn't seem long unless you're standing there watching and waiting (LOL).

No. It is a French Press style coffee maker in which you boil water either on the stove or electric kettle and pour into the french press with your ground coffee beans. Give it around four minutes to allow "brewing" before slowly pressing the plunger down. Easy to use and it comes with instructions.

I've been using this coffee maker for about 3-4 months now. Seems like it will brew a whole pot in about 6-8 minutes. I think that smaller amounts would take a little less. Be prepared to use a courser grind of coffee or you will get sediment. The pot comes with an auxilary filter you put directly in the pot to trap this extra sediment if you decide to run the finely ground coffee instead. Still happy with the purchase.

I pretty much agree with all of the prior answers, some in the "it depends" category. You can brew a mug of coffee from pre-ground, or from Breville-ground. Either is in the range of 4-5 minutes.

that sounds like a long time. I have never timed it, but I usually brew about 6 cups and don't feel it takes a long time. There is also the option to pour a cup before the brewing is complete. It will stop until you put the carafe back in.

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.

It takes me maybe three minutes to obtain enough for a 32-ounce press. I tend to grind fairly slowly as I feel it works more smoothly that way.

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.

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.
