3 minutes for really soft boiled yolk and set white. 

4 minutes for slightly set yolk and set white.

5 minutes for firmer yolk and white

6 minutes for hard boiled with slightly soft yolk

7 minutes for firmly hard boiled

Tip: Make a small pin prick in the rounded end of the egg to allow the steam to escape.
