A:AnswerA whole pot is relatively quick, about 7-10 minutes. Learning curve is when the “brew” button is flashing it is actually brewing. The instructions don’t say it and when a button flashes I assume it’s indicating it needs to be pushed. Once we figured that out brewing was much faster !
The single cup takes longer than our old Keurig which is what we replaced and doesn’t offer a steady stream; it kind of spurts out.
A:AnswerOn my coffeemaker, after brewing, the lower half of the "BREW" button is lit up, indicating the burner is on. If you push the brew button once momentarily, the upper part of the "BREW" button lights up (and the bottom goes dim or out), indicating the burner is off. I don't think mine has an auto-off feature.
A:AnswerLength of time for Brewing depends on how much coffee your making or whether you select BOLD brew or not. 6 cups will run through pretty quickly while 12 cups will take twice as long. Using the BOLD cycle will slow everything down allowing the water to seep through the grounds at a much slower pace creating a stronger cup of coffee.
A:AnswerI have one and it leaks like crazy all over the counter. Leaking is sporadic but comes from the k-cup water tank. I started pulling out the tank and emptying it out. If I can’t figure it out I’m just going to toss it. My clock doesn’t keep time either so I’m pretty much done with this thing.
