Product Review: Bunn Coffee Maker

A Bunn Coffee Maker can make a full pot of coffee in just 3 MINUTES! How's that for fast?

I admit it: I am a coffeeholic. I drink coffee morning, noon and night. I drink it when I get up. I drink it immediately before bed. For me, there is nothing more frustrating than waiting and waiting for a coffee maker to make a pot of coffee.

With other brands of coffee makers, the cold water that you pour in has to be heated each time you make a new pot. This takes time, sometimes up to 10 minutes or more, depending on the brand. But, with the Bunn coffee maker, as long as the main switch is on, the water will always be hot, waiting for you to add the coffee! That's because the water you pour in goes into a reserve tank where it heats and then stays at the ideal brewing temperature of 200F degrees. When you pour in more cold water, the hot water drains out to make your coffee and the cold water then takes its place to be heated.

So, in 3 minutes, you can have a pot of coffee! It doesn't get any better than that! For years, I had seen Bunn Coffee Makers in convenience stores. I always wished I had one at home, but Bunn Coffee Makers are rather expensive - about $100. Previously, all my coffee makers had been inexpensive, usually $10-$15, and their length of service (usually a year, two if I was lucky) proved that you get what you pay for.

As a wedding present, my brother got us a Bunn 10 cup Coffee Maker. I was ecstatic. From the first pot, it was love.

"The unique sprayhead design creates the right amount of turbulencet o suspend ground coffee and extract flavor evenly and thoroughly. With most coffee makers, water drips straight through without evenly exposing all coffee granules to the water.", states the Bunn Instruction Manual.
