##The simple reading of the Mishna Brurah (Shaar HaTziyun 210:11) is that [[Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit]] is two gulps (swallowing with your throat twice).
##The Mishna Brurah (Shaar HaTziyun 210:11) holds that Kdei Shtiyat Reviyit is the amount of time it takes to drink a Reviyit in two sessions with one break in between. As long as one keeps the cup to one's lips and continues to drink that is considered one time, even if it includes multiple gulps or swallows. Therefore, if one took a drink and continued to drink and then removed it from one's lips and then completed the Reviyit in the next drink that is within Kdei Shetiyat Reviyit.<ref>The Shaar Hatziyun 210:11 writes that Kdei Shtiyat Reviyit is the time it takes to drink a Reviyit in time two sessions with one break in between. Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 11, pg 240-1) originally assumes that this means two gulps or swallows. But then he questions this because of the difficulty of swallowing a [[Revi'it]] in two gulps (see this [https://komci.org/GSResult.php?RID=0137JKSCT%2F2013.11.2.114&DT=6&ITEMNO=6&TITEM=10 study] that estimates an average gulp is between 8 and 12 ml). He quotes and supports the explanation of the Haggadat Kol Dodi (Rabbi Dovid Feinstein, 5745 Siman 2, p. 5) who writes that the shiur of kdei shtiyat revi’it is drinking from the cup two times, each time drinking several gulps without removing the cup from one’s lips, and removing the cup once between the two times.</ref>

Hence it is more accurate to translate the time frame as two sips (intakes into your mouth) than two gulps.
##Rav Ovadyah Yosef (Sh"t Yabia Omer 5:18(2), Chazon Ovadyah ([[Brachot]] pg 259-260)) rules that [[Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit]] is drinking one time. Or Letzion (vol 2, 14:17) agrees. Halacha Brurah 210:9 writes that if a person drank a reviyit straight even in two or three gulps that it is still called kedi shiur reviyit but still this is a very short time.

##Aruch Hashulchan 202:8 writes that kedi shetiyat reviyit isn't a minute. He implies that it is slightly less than a minute. In 202:6 he explain endorses the idea that you can drink the reviyit in two sips and take a break for some time in between.
