It depends on what you prefer! Orb One is best suited for a single portion; how big that portion is depends on the style you like to brew, and can range from 1 - 8oz (30 - 250ml).

On induction burners, brew time can be less than 2 minutes.

Folks have reported similar results on a high power camping stove (the Orb One is a fantastic travel companion!)

Gas and radiant heat stovetops are typically less efficient, so they tend to take a little longer.

We can tell by this question that you take your coffee seriously. So here comes a serious answer for you:

The area within the Orb One that holds coffee grounds (the "basket") is designed to achieve a better extraction at a lower pressure than other coffeemakers. The size and shape of the basket was carefully calibrated to prevent under-extraction and achieve levels of dissolved solids with finely ground coffee that typically match those of espresso.

Further, the temperature-regulating heatsink’s precise control of water flow and heat transfer optimizes extraction while preventing the burnt taste of overheated coffee.

While technically not a true espresso, Orb One allows you to brew a range of styles spanning the continuum between a standard drip coffee and a 9-bar espresso.
