Awesome coffee maker, Wish I had know about these years ago!
This coffee maker is absolutely fantastic! brews very fast and gives you instant hot water. I got mine on Amazon “used”for half price…. it was returned most likely by someone who just does not understand how this unit works and was too lazy to take a couple minutes to figure it out.they do work a little different than a regular coffee maker. you leave the heating element on all the time, it keeps the water hot just like a hot water heater does, and no it does not effect your electric bill, I have seen people giving negative reviews on it for needing to be on all the time and just assuming this will “run up your electric bill”: not true at all, you are keeping a small amount of water warm all the time so it takes less time to get it HOT when it is time to brew coffee. this is no different than how a Kureg works as far as that is concerned and everyone seems to be ok with those wasteful pieces of garbage.., those also keep water hot all the time inside…since it is well insulated it doesn’t run much to keep it this way. anyway , just addressing that because it seem to be the biggest thing people do not understand /can not wrap their tiny little brains around. I like this coffee maker for its appearance, how fast it brews coffee (like 3 or 4 minutes max) for how good the coffee is since it is brewed with the proper hot temps required for a good brew and for the fact I can get hot water instantly , I also like how nicely the carafe pours, no spills. if you are too lazy to watch a 2 minute video or read up on how these work then you shouldn’t bother buying it because you will probably be one of the I*Diots to return it when nothing is wrong at all you just don’t know how to use it. It was a score for me though I feel bad for BUNN to have to deal with returns from I*diots who cant be bothered to read or watch a 2 minute video so as to understand the very simple but different way this coffee maker works vs all others.very simply put1)it stays on all the time2)when you pour water in the top whatever amount you pour in will be the same amount to come out into the pot (but already hot)3)leave the lid up until you have the carafe back in place so you dont start brewing onto the hot plate because it will begin pouring coffee instantly as soon as you put the lid down.as far as people claiming that coffee grounds get all over …I dont know what that is all about because I have not had that issue. use the filters designed for the BUNN coffee maker and you will not have a problem. I have heard that there is an optional dispenser head you can get if you brew really fine coffee and BUNN supplies it free of charge if you just ask for it. but yeah this has not been a problem for me.

Excellent Brewer for the Price + USA Built
I bought this unit being very skeptical. It was either this, or a VPS Commercial unit. I make about 2 to 3 pots of coffee per day, so it does get a workout. I’ve had it for a couple weeks now, and I could not be happier. I use BUNN filters and my BUNN 48 OZ water pitcher, and it works great. While I was waiting for it to ship, I contacted BUNN and I had them send me the flow restriction nozzle adapter in fear of the grounds over flowing from the filter. The first time I tried it, I was using regular coffee grounds and it worked fine. The next shot I brewed was decaf, and to my surprise it worked just fine!It’s amazing how fast this unit brews! It’s amazing. It’s faster than a Keurig filling my travel coffee mug that is around 24 oz at about 1:45 seconds. Not to mention it brews a whole decanter in less than 3 minutes. It’s slick!!!I tried the flow restriction nozzle adapter, and it turns the brew process from 3 minutes into around 6 minutes. It appears as if it slows the brew rate to half the flow of water out of the unit. Although, I’ve never had an issue with it overflowing coffee grounds out of the unit. I can see how high the water level gets, but there is still room. Not sure if users are simply overloading it with grounds or what.The unit does it’s fast brew by keeping at least 1.5 decanters worth water hot all the time. Some might say it’s a waste of electricity… I don’t think it is, especially for how much I use it. So it’s not much of a concern. Though if you do turn it off, it’s not advisable to use it for 15 to 20 minutes as it reheats the water (probably wasting more energy than just leaving it on). The only time I turn it off is if I’m heading out on a long vacation. Other than that, the water is in there and never really noticeably changes.Did I also mention it’s made in the USA? Yes, it’s made in the good ol’e USA. One of the few items that you can get that is American made.Overall, this unit is amazing and I recommend it to anyone looking for a great, dependable, and fast brewer!

Best cup of coffee I’ve had at home
After going two years with not-very-good coffee at home, I finally decided to purchase a new coffee maker. I purchased a different brand and was immediately disappointed. After returning that one, I realized that the restaurants I work with all use Bunn coffee makers, so I decided to try one out.Let me say… This is the best cup of coffee that I’ve had at home. The machine is a no-frills, fast, and simple coffee maker that makes great, hot coffee. (It may not be the best looking, but it does work!)I personally love the simplicity. I don’t need timers (not when it makes coffee in 3 minutes!). I don’t need “bold” options or “small pot” options. I don’t need a timer to know when it’s finished brewing. I just wanted a good coffee maker. And this fits the bill.I followed the directions closely (which, by the way, have a nice sense of humor) so it was set up properly. Fifteen minutes later and I was brewing my first cup. The speed of this thing is fantastic. When I have family over, I hate waiting 10+ minutes for coffee to brew, or a line of people waiting on a single-brewer. To do that, the machine has to keep the water hot and, consequently, is “always on.” Most places I found said that this uses about 30-35 watts to keep the water warm. My last bill said we pay just over 6¢ per kWh (for everything). That amounts to about 5¢ per day.There was a very slight warm plastic smell after first setting it up, but that dissipated in a couple of days. It was certainly not bothersome to us as it apparently was for some reviewers. The only thing that I do not like about it is that the coffee continues to slowly drip after it’s finished, so when I pour my first cup, a few drips usually get on the warmer plate. I just immediately dump the grounds and it solves most of that issue.

Not better as much as it says
by Katie O’Connor
This is my third bun pot.It did not come with the cleaning stick the previous two had.I find that I need to clean this monthly while my other pots were every two months at best.My water hasn’t changed, so something in the pot must have.That said, the fast coffee is worth the effort and this is a top quality pot.Will buy again.

Love these bunn coffee makers! Previous one lasted 15 years or so of two of a day before the switch went out. Replaced the switch and then it sprung a small leak that kept getting bigger. I got my money’s worth several times over and just decided to buy another one. If it dies, I’ll either get a bunn commercial or another of these. Bunn for life!
