Bunn - Velocity Brew NHS

In my 30 years of having my own stuff, I only recall a Bunn crapping out, and that was after 3 or 4 years. I think my current Mr Coffee is 10 years old. That said, I did go nuts and buy a Moccamaster during the prime sale.. but I am dabbling in the good coffee experience, but only on the weekends. My weekday go juice comes out of the Mr Coffee because we don't have time to weigh beans and the hand grinder.

I love my Bunn

We've owned our Bunn for about 20 years. I had to take it apart and replace a fuse once but I consider being able to do repairs still "buy it for life" It keeps the water at the appropriate temperature, like OPs machine. Takes up a lot less counter space.

A regular Bunn coffee maker is plenty you do not need the professional one. I have my Bunn coffee maker for yrs. It makes great coffee and it takes 2 min for a full pot. I love mine.

Once I discovered carafe's I never went back. The Bunn I use my coffee is still drinkable and hot several hours later.

This seems awfully fancy for "no frills". We have a Bunn O Matic commercial that will outlive me. Only downside is that they are always on, so if you don't put a timer on it you will use a lot of electricity. Upside is that you can even plumb in the fresh water supply if you like.

Get online and buy a used Bunn single [I forget the term- portion, burner, plate, carafe] coffee maker. American drip coffee exactly the kind that restaurants use. Powerful and will last forever.

I second this. Always look to the commercial products. Simple, less buttons and less electronic circuitry to short and fail. Our Bunn at my 24/7 workplace sees multiple pots per day over three shifts. Still going strong for the over 20 years I've been here.

No, I run vinegar through like once per year.

Bunn without a doubt. Makes amazing coffee also

Well, the amount of coffee and the grind size that people like are subjective, hat works for one may not work for another and that's OK. The reason that Bunn has different sprayheads, is because people who used fine grinds would overflow the basket when making 8-10 cups of coffee (because of the speed of the brew, the basket would fill up with water), so they slowed the process. That's why I called them about the issue and was sent a different sprayhead which worked out great. There are many coffee forums on the web, and that's where I first heard about that issue maybe 10 years ago. Really hard for me to believe that you use a fine grind, tamp it down (like I do), that it's still a fast brew, and that you need to use more coffee. That goes opposite everything I know about this brewer, but I guess to each its own. It's not rocket science, it's just making a drink. As long as you enjoy it, that's all that counts.

Bunn. I think we are on our 2nd or 3rd one in about 30 years. They're even somewhat repairable.

I rinse my carafe and basket most days, maybe actually wash them once a week. I run vinegar through the machine once a year, tops. That's about as low maintenance as it gets.

A Bunn- reliable, simple, and makes great coffee

I got my husband a Bunn several years ago, which I think was ~$90. It's awesome. Coffee in like 4 minutes is awesome. We run vinegar or citric acid through it every few months to keep it clean.

Had a couple Bunn, loved the speed of them, but it isn't bifl or at least not for me. Also if you don't brew a pot every day the water will evaporate and you end up with stronger than normal, smaller batch of coffee. Been using a Mr Coffee for years, it does what it does, just slower than a Bunn due to no preheated water on standby. Recently bought a Moccamaster but it my weekend car, so to speak. Been buying fresh roaster beans just for it and experiment with the expensive stuff. Our weekday go juice is pre ground Starbucks French roast in the Mr Coffee. Our

for the price, can't beat a BUNN

I have a Bunn coffee maker and make either a half or full pot depending on the days plan. If I'm going to work I make a half pot and it all goes into the thremos. If I'm staying home I make a full pot because I'm Lorelai Gilmore when it comes to coffee. I have a Bunn because it keeps a tank of water hot and makes a full pot in 3 minutes. The pot is insulated instead of a burner so it doesn't turn into mud when it sits.

Anything really, unless you want a fast-brewing drip maker that will last forever (if so, buy a Bunn). Edit: spelling

One thing to consider about the Bunn-we use more coffee grounds to get the strength we want than we do with a typical drip coffee maker because the water flow is much faster. It adds up fairly quickly (I got the Bunn for $5 and love the convenience of it so it's hard for me to let go.)

Bunn, not cheap, but last m8nes going on 15 or 16 years.

I had a Bunn coffee maker many years ago and I loved it. Had it for a long time but not my entire life

Bunn is great and 1/3 the price of the Moccamaster

Bunn. No button gimmick. Pour the water in and it brews. One button to turn it off and on. That's it.

We got our Bunn as a wedding present 12 years ago and I love it. We make 10 cups a day every day and sometimes more so I'm estimating it has made 2,000 gallons of coffee. It brews faster and quieter than regular coffee pots, and I feel like it tastes better because the water isn't quite as hot. It has two switches, which i rarely ever touch. One is to turn the tank heater off if you go on vacation, and one is the hot plate.

I love my Bunn! I'm not a coffee snob, but I think it tastes pretty good! I use a burr grinder and whenever I splurge on nice beans it makes a fantastic cup (and an otherwise really good cup when I use my go to Costco beans). Also, in response to the other commenter saying not to get one because it's always on: yeah it is but it's also in an insulated tank so it doesn't use much energy to stay warm. I only turn mine off if I'm going out of town and won't use it for more than a day or two.

How about a Bunn? No frills, no clocks or timers, and brews 10 cups in 3 minutes.

This is the answer. Unless you're some kind of coffee aficionado, it's exactly what you need. Lasts a long time and repairable too. I had one finally tap out at probably 20 years old recently and I bought another one. Kept the old one for parts.

The Bunn is the best coffeemaker I've ever had, and maybe user error is the problem. I use less coffee, not more. If it's too fast for you, the grind is too coarse. Using a coarse grind, you'd have to use more coffee. Use a finer grind, or call Bunn and they will send you, for free, a different sprayhead. You just unscrew the black sprayhead that came with it and replace it with one with less holes so the water flow is slower. I have a number of different sprayheads that Bunn sent me for free. I mostly grind my own beans and use a different sprayhead for packaged preground coffee than I use for whole beans that I grind.

Bunn Velocity. 1 button. Keeps a pot of hot water on demand. It's not gonna last a lifetime but my last one lasted 10 years with daily use.

Get a Bunn coffee maker. Nothing compares to it..

I get about 10 years out of my Bunn machines, hot , delicious and ready in 2 minutes. Think I'm on my fourth and I'm 66. They're around $100. The only reason they break is if I forget to shut off when I'm out of town and the water inside dries up, I think.

I love our basic Bunn. No frills, fast. It basically keeps one full pot near ready to brew, you add a new pot full of water, close the lid and you have coffee in minutes. It's a little more expensive than the cheap ones, but they last forever

They're very simple and replacement parts are available. We had to get a new one after our 15-20 year-old one finally died (melted plastic around a seal). Keeping it around for spare parts.
