It takes about 5 minutes to heat up a full tank of water and then about another 5 or so to make the coffee so not too terribly long, but at the same time, not super quick if you are running late in the morning.  Makes super smooth tasting coffee and the iced feature is also really nice.  No more having to put my coffee in the fridge or ice it down a lot!  The look of the maker is also great, not too bulky for all that it does.  Great all over coffee maker!
