I had a coffee machine with all the bells and whistles that even brewed tea and made froth I realized I just wanted something good quality that would last and brew a consistent cup. So I started thinking, a family member of mine had this Bunn Coffee machine for years, it met all the criteria including making a consistent cup, it was simple, easy to clean, brewed at a great temp. Theres no extra junk just a good reliable cup of coffee. Every single time. I gave my $200+ Ninja to a family member and bought this one, to say ive been happy with it is in understatement. The coffee always tastes great I call this thing old reliable because thats exactly what it is. A really good simple coffee maker Read more
Worth every penny! Hot coffee in 4 minutes! Read all of the reviews then decide. I don't need pause and serve feature. (Because it's that fast anyway) I don't need a brew timer feature, because it's literally pouring the water and flip the warmer plate switch easy set up. As far as the other complaints in the reviews, if you take the time to read the instructions and get to know exactly how it works, you'll be enjoying some seriously great coffee. Is it perfect? I have to say no because if you don't line up the coffee pot under the drip hole just right, you could have an over flow mess. Again, read the instructions thoroughly! I also want to point out that out of all of the different coffee carafes that I've owned, I've never had one that didn't drip after pouring...UNTIL NOW! Well done Bunn, that funky looking carafe lid is genius! Life is too short to settle for meh coffee, buy the Bunn! Read more
I am so very pleased with the ordering, shipping, delivery and make of this Bunn Coffee Maker. It came boxed in its original box, inside a well fitted shipping box - everything on time, maybe earlier than expected, and intact and perfect. I ordered this one with caution, because my original Bunn Coffee Maker was purchased 12 years ago (started leaking), was concerned about upgrades, and I wanted it to the be the very same unit. It is!!! Yay!! Highly recommend this seller As far as this type of coffee maker, if you have never had one, it is a good quick coffee maker. I used less coffee grounds, like my coffee a little weaker, but it is so thorough in water pressure through the grounds, you don't need to overpack the filter with coffee for stronger coffee taste. i have heard some people do that and get a mess. Less is MORE! 12 years it kept the water hot in the reserve tank on a daily basis - until it finally wore out. I've had replacement pots and filter holders fit perfectly too over this long lived units life. Read more
The reason Bunn makes such a good cup of coffee is because the water is preheated and dispensed through the large spray head at a constant, optimal temperature. Our first velocity brew lasted around 7 years, and yes, ultimately developed a leak. We have a Mr Coffee, 10 cup in our RV, which I brought into the house while thinking about a replacement and we brewed 2 pots - with and without the 'strong brew' option, both brewed a similar strength coffee, but both slightly bitter, more decidedly with the 'strong brew' option which slows down the brew time. I haven't done scientific temperature measurement, but I understand the reason Bunn makes a better tasting cup of coffee. I'd like to have gotten more than 7 years out of our first velocity brew, but the price is reasonable for such great coffee. One downside is no automatic shutoff for the pot warmer. The fancy timer stuff is pretty useless on a Bunn because a full pot brews in 3-4 minutes. The other downside is they need to be turned off completely if you are not using it for more than a couple of days because the tank will run dry. This is definitely a coffee maker for those who brew at least daily. I did some research looking at other coffee makers, and there's lots of other machines out there, but the Bunn is hands down the best tasting coffee. Especially at this price level, I'm surprised Bunn is not consistently top rated. It does not have a clock, won't wake you up or allow you to start the brew cycle from your Bluetooth device, but it does make a smooth, delicious cup of hot coffee in a very short time. Read more
