Fastest coffee maker around
We are coffee drinkers – gotta have it first thing in the morning. After many years we got really tired of waiting 10-12 minutes for a pot of coffee to brew, and started looking around for one that could brew faster. We found reviews for the Bunn Velocity and decided to try it. Success! This baby makes a full 10-cup pot of hot coffee in 3 minutes flat, and partial pots even faster. I like my coffee strong and my hubby likes it medium (weak lol) so we each make ourselves about a half pot and it works out great. (we have extra carafes because this isn’t out first Bunn) The flavor is good, not weak – guess this is because it keeps a reservoir of hot water at all times.It’s easy to use once you **read the instructions**; just set the carafe on the warmer BEFORE you close the lid where you put the water in. And buy the Bunn brand filters – other brands are mostly not quite tall enough and can overflow. A few other reviewers mention the basket overflowing if the coffee is ground too fine but we’ve never had any issues with that; we’ve always just used regular medium roast ground coffee from the grocery.Cleaning any coffee maker can be a chore, but this one’s not too labor intensive unless you need to deep clean it for storage. We have naturally soft tap water so it doesn’t get much sediment buildup, but I still run the coil thingy through about once a month.This is our 4th one in about 15 years. After 5 years, our last one was still making coffee just fine, but the warmer plate switch quit working. This happened to our first one as well.Overall a great fast-brewing coffee maker. We will definitely keep buying them until Bunn (heaven forbid!) stops making them.

Great Coffee maker
I love how fast the machine brews and how hot it is. Itâs quiet and easy to use, just the right size and I love that the heating element wont rust like my old machine.

Fast, efficient, ready when you are, not only for coffee!
We got this on Amazon less expensive than we could buy at our local stores — significantly less, I don’t mind supporting the local economy but not when it is $30 or more extra dollars!.We had a similar unit that we wore out after about 6 years! But we use these coffee pots all the time — probably 6 or 8 times a day. It stands ready to perform with hot water waiting and I feel we get our money’s worth and much satisfaction and pleasure.We start in the morning making piping hot water for our dogs’ meals. They get a combination of oatmeal, algae, VITALITY, and a bit of left over meat like a chicken “mcnugget” equivalent (or if we have no leftover use a bit of chicken powder), with a bit of dry dog food mixed in on top. The water is sufficiently hot to make the raw oatmeal (the best for both humans and pets) cook and the supplements mix into the oatmeal and this yields a delicious meal our dogs can hardly wait for.Then it is time for our own session. We have an organic Kona Coffee Farm (KonaComfort.com) and so we never run out and also we never get tired of that wonderful cup or two and it comes out very fast and perfect each time with our Bunn Coffee Brewer. Once it has brewed — in what seems like just a moment — we pour our cups hot and then I do not let the burner stay on. If there is left over coffee, our organic Kona is so sweet I can drink it warm or even cold later. It does not waste!Afternoons, we will switch to making hot water for tea. We love good organic jasmine green tea, and the Bunn Coffee Brewer makes the water just perfectly. You can make one cup or two or the 10 cup whole pot — just what you need at the moment, and it takes about as much time to measure and pour into the top as it does for it to come out hot on the bottom. The coffee pot has a valve on the top lid so that when you open to pour water in, it waits until you are finished and close the top door before it will send the water thru to make your hot water — this is a nice feature which our last pot (being older) did not have.Later afternoon, it is time for our second pet feeding of the day. And we usually will have dinner about the same time — 6PM ish, and often will have another fresh pot of our Organic Kona Comfort Kona Coffee.Usually we feel like another cup of Jasmine Tea later maybe around 9PM, and sometimes we will use the pot to make instant soup packets or those nice “cup o soups” or if in the mood before going to bed to make hot water for bourbon totties.All in all, this is an indispensable appliance that we use daily and from our experience will last for many years of constant service.

BUNN GRB Velocity Brew 10 cup home
We had a BUNN at work and I wanted one at home. If you are familiar with BUNN you probably understand why and thatâs why youâre looking at these. Thus far it has performed well. The cup capacity is just right for us – two people can get two large mugs of coffee each per brew. I bought the plastic pitcher that is offered for filling the tank but truthfully you donât need it. Setup is easy IMO, just follow the directions or there is a video you can watch but we didnât need it. The directions are clear and adequate. It is FAST! It brews a pot in about 3 minutes and the coffee is hot and it brings out the full rich taste and smells divine. It does not have an auto shut off so you do need to be mindful of that because it keeps whatever is left in the pot hot all day until you do turn it off. You canât program it to wake you to the smell of coffee but we just set it up the night before, fill the carafe with water just as any other and in the morning pour, push the button and you are ready before you can say Bobâs your uncle, or as I said, 3 minutes. I also bought the BUNN filters but weâve been using the same ones from our previous coffee maker until they are gone and have had no issues with them. I have not emptied the water tank and given it an overall cleaning. I will need an assistant to lift it though I do not anticipate a problem. It doesnât say how often to do that but I generally cleaned my others every 2 months so itâs not time yet. There is nothing to make it look intimidating. Husband really likes it. Itâs a little on the pricey side but that was not a surprise. Itâs probably the basic model of BUNN but we are both happy with the performance and look forward to enjoying it for hopefully more than a year or two as has been the case with some of our other coffee makers.

The best coffee maker I’ve ever had
This is my second Bunn in 25 years. I love them. Easy to clean and always a great cup of coffee. Love that the warmer isn’t an auto shut off. I don’t want the pot to decide when I’m done with it. Simple construction and never fails. The only reason I got a new one was the old one was damaged during a move.

Es rÃ¡pida pero demasiado austera para el precio, un poco complicado ajustar el ciclo viene muy general el instructivo

The best cup of drip coffee you can make at home. The person who wrote the setup instructions deserves an award for clarity. Even a dummy like me who struggles to follow instructions can set this machine up easily and error free.Pros: Best drip coffee you can drink at home. It rivals the coffee served by the best restaurants and diners. Fast brewing. A full pot of coffee brews in 2 to 3 minutes.Cons: If you live in an area with soft water, you must call Bunn to obtain a flow restrictor or use a coarser grind of coffee. Note, coarser grind affects the taste. Bunn will ship the flow restrictor to you free of charge but it is basically a 10 cent piece of plastic which should be included in the box. While you wait 2 or 3 days for the flow restrictor to arrive, remove the existing spray nozzle and break off a toothpick in one of the holes. This temporary measure solves the problem but gives your coffee a slight “tooth picky” taste.Still, if you like a morning cup of coffee this machine is worth the price.

I was blown away by the speed in which this coffee maker brews a pot of coffee!Absolutely nails it on speed, taste and ease. The temperature will be slightly less than boiling point. So if you need to cool your coffee down to drink it you may be pleasantly surprised… Myself, I like a hot cup of coffee but am happywith the temperature be it just slightly cooler. Keep in mind it is brewing at the proper temperature to achieve full flavour. It was an upgrade for us and am very happy we did it!

The product works good, but the lid where you pour water in broke off the first week, it’s extremely fragile that piece. Pay a little more and get the better version of this machine

Very quick coffee, which I love. Coffee tastes great! Set up is easy. I had a Tim Horton’s Bunn years ago and loved it too. Overall, I am very pleased with it but there are a couple of things I like to see improved.I really wish there was a timer for the burner switch. We have been careful about turning it off when the coffee pot is low or empty but the timer would be an added protection for not forgetting to turn it off.Also, I am not too happy about the price of Bunn coffee filters. I prefer the non bleached kind, I didn’t see any Bunn non bleached filters although I may have missed them. For this type of coffee pot you need have to have a thinner filter because the water comes through pretty fast and needs to flow through the filter easily. Otherwise it will back up and you will have coffee grounds and hot water overflowing and making a huge mess. This hasn’t happened to me yet as I am using the filters that came with coffee pot.Edit. I did try a different brand of non-bleached filters. Didn’t work.
