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 put 1)it stays on all the time 2)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.

This is the only coffee pot that I have used in my household for the last 16 years. The last one that I bought this one to replace started leaking when filled it with water. I took it apart and fixed the stopper with a silicone ring and have been working great ever since. So this one that I bought to replace is waiting to become the replacement. Makes coffee in about three to four minutes and we make two to three pots a day. Have only use two out of three that I have bought. Read more

I’ve had this BUNN BX Speed Brew for a few months now and it lives up to the hype. Coffee is ready in about 3 minutes, and it’s hot — not lukewarm like with cheaper machines. The flavor is rich, smooth, and consistent every time. It does take a little more counter space and uses a unique filter, but totally worth it if you drink coffee daily (or hourly like me). Setup was easy, and I love the retro yet professional look. It feels like something you’d see in a diner. The tank stays hot, so it’s always ready to brew, which is super convenient during busy mornings. Overall, if you’re a serious coffee drinker and want speed without sacrificing taste, this brewer’s a winner. Read more

If you're a person who does not like to read long reviews, this thing's awesome, just buy it. For everyone else who is not a millennial and has an attention span of more than a Twitter comment... Read on. I've been in business for 25 years, we're in finance and we drink a lot of coffee. Commercial offices generally have contracts with local purveyors that provide the machine for free as long as you buy cases of pre-measured coffee. Since 1997 we have had a bunn commercial three burner coffee maker. Now in fairness, even though this is made by the same company you really can't compare. The two. One is a commercial solid metal unit that is designed to run continuously. The other is a really high quality residential unit. For me, I'm a coffee fiend... I drink at least a pot or more per day myself. At home, I have a technovorem mocha master ( look it up) these things cost $400 or more and are regarded as the best coffee maker/ pour over unit in the world. I believe they've won some awards to that effect. I'm not going to buy another one of these for another room in my house, after COVID I moved my personal operation out of my office and into the house. I set up a station and was going to buy a commercial bunn machine ( single burner) and I came across this machine in the suggestions. I was extremely skeptical, I was positive I was buying a piece of junk but I've had it now for several weeks and it is nothing short of amazing. It's exactly the same functionality as the one from the office. It's very important to understand that the reason people love bunn coffee makers is because they have a very clever method of preheating water so you never really have to wait for a full pot of coffee. Basically, you get the machine and fill it with two full pots of water. The instructions say to turn the on the heating elements and wait about 15 minutes. Give it 20 just for good measure... You put your empty pot under the water outlet and closed the lid. It will drain out one full pot and leave the next one in its place to become heated and ready to serve. Here's the cool part, you never turn off the coffee maker, just the heating plate. When you're ready to make another pot, you pour cold water into the machine and immediately scolding hot water comes out from the superheated reservoir and makes your pot of coffee. The cold water you just poured in replaces the hot water and the cycle starts over again. No other coffee maker on the market does this. If you're using this in the morning before you walk out the door to go to work... This thing will blow you away. It'll make a pot of coffee in a couple of minutes versus 10 or so from some of the competitors. The best part is, like most things on Amazon, this is a prime item. If you don't like it, return it. It costs you nothing and I think you'll be thrilled. One last thought... They have this genius little invention on the lid of the coffee pot. It's a 3-in extension or so that directs the liquid when you're pouring it out into your cup. Anyone is poured coffee on the floor, on their hand, or any place other than a cup knows that it is difficult to fill your coffee cup straight from the pot. This amazing little add-on completely eliminates drips and spills. Definitely check it out Read more

In less than 3 min you have piping hot coffee! My last Bunn lasted just under 20 yrs. It is worth the cost. I hate coffee makers you have to take off the entire top and pour water right next to coffee. I’m clumsy in the morning. Love the pull out coffee holder and poring water in a top section without having to remove the entire top.Pour water with just a flip of the receptacle and a flip down gets the coffee flowing immediately. I wish it had a stop flow feature, but really you don’t need it when the process is so quick. The warmer plate keeps the pot warm. The delivered package also came with a pack of filters. Coffee pours out of caraf with no drips too Read more
