The only way this coffee pot is 'fast' is you program it an hour before you wake up. Even on the 'fast' setting you cannot get a cup of coffee out within ten minutes (for a 6 oz. cup.)

I know 12 cup coffee makers that in ten minutes can brew an entire pot in less time than this does for just one cup.

I DO NOT recommend this product if you want a 'quick' cup of coffee.

(I've, unfortunately, owned this for three months. Tried every setting, repeatedly cleaned it with vinegar, etc. - to add.)
