How long does it take to bring water to a full boil?
1368712
This morning it took exactly 4 minutes to reach 195 degrees F. So I would say 5 minutes for a full boil.

I went from cold tap water to 212º in 6 minutes this morning. When in a hurry I use hot tap water. From hot tap to 199º is under 4 minutes. 199º is the ideal brewing temp for the coffee I use in a French press.

It doesn't actually boil water so your question is moot. At 212 F you pop open the lid and maybe there'll be a few little bubbles coming from the bottom, but they quickly stop once the lid is off. It'll never reach a roiling boil like you'd see in a pot. That would require it go above 212 F which it doesn't.

I never timed it, but it's 1000w, while many are 1500 watts.. The fastest I've seen just for heating water is to buy an induction burner and a separate pot. If you are looking for speed specifically, it's a 1000w, and the temp setting I believe cycles on and off so it doesn't overshoot the setting. Both these flow things up a little. It probably is slightly slower, then the pour is slow too because of the little spout.. HOWEVER, I find the convenience of the accurate temp control trumps a slightly slower boil time, because its ready when you are. But if you are not specifically wanting the skinney spout for pour over coffee, or using for those tiny tea pots, get the regular spout. .

I usually fill it to about 3 cups, then once ot starts boiling, i let it continue to boil for about 3-4 mins. It gives me a large mug full with a little bit left in the bottom of the pot.

I have the plug in type, and I also have the one for the car or rv. I would say it will boil water in about 3-4 minutes, depending on how hot you like your water.

When filled to the max line, to my recollection because I only did this twice when I first purchased it, it took somewhere around eight minutes. The typical amount I boil, which is to the minimum line, takes roughly two minutes.

//// April 9 - I tried this again today, using an electric timer instead of my dear old analog watch, and the full pot took 7.75 minutes from start to shut off.////April 7 - I hadn't really thought about that, so I timed it this morning. From cold to boiling shut-off took my kettle between 9 and 10 minutes, maximally full. My kettle is maybe 9 months old now - use it several times a day and really like it!

It takes approx. 18 minutes to heat to boiling. However, I returned this unit & purchased a more expensive Zojirushi(sp?) because it did not heat to the indicated temp, nor would it keep the water at a sufficient true temp to do pourover coffee, which is what I purchased it for. The Zojirushi takes a similar time to heat to boil, but works all day long to keep water at indicated temp. It(zojirushi) even worked well at an outdoor event on a cold day, though for that I had pre heated water that I poured into the unit to get & keep at proper temp.

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.

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.

Perhaps I just haven't paid that close attention, as I (like a few of those below)fill my unit as I see it gets to around to 1L left. Thus, it is not when I need the water to be hot, so I am not sitting watching the proverbial pot boil. However, it is pretty quick - under 15 minutes for sure. I am also on cooler well water, but it definitely has not taken more than 15 minutes for 3 full liters of boiling hot water. Once it has boiled, depending on the hold temperature you set, your water will remain hot until you put more cool water in the unit.

I think it depends on the weather conditions and the amount of water you're boiling. In perfect weather, it takes about 5-7 minutes I guess and that's using 1.5 fuel tablets. It's just a simple cup stove and works fine as that. Hope this helps.

I fill my pot to the indent closest to the top of the pot. At that level, on my electric stove, it takes 4 to 5 minutes to boil on high. I set the timer on my stove so I don't have issues. I also set my standard kettle to boil at the same time. I use the kettle to preheat cups and Chemex and the smaller pot for my pour over coffee. They take about the same time to boil. Hope that helps.

I've never used just got water, but I would imagine since it has to be boiled for 15 minutes, hot water might not be enough. Unless it's constant SUPER hot water for 15 minutes +.

From my experiences, 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the eggs I am boiling.

I'm not sure about "faster than a microwave" but if you put in a cup or so of water, it will take about a minute to boil

It takes about 3 mins for warm water. I imagine the microwave is faster. I still prefer to heat my water in the kettle though.

10-15 minutes takes about 20-25 for boil. Great buy for brewing, used mine twice so far.

About a minute if you preheat water to almost boiling in a separate cup in the microwave and then pour into pot.
