BUNN BT Velocity Brew 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Home Coffee Brewer

There is a saying that you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. This has been our experience with other coffee makers....from Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Programmable Cone Coffeemaker, Black to Black & Decker to everything in-between. Finally we decided to bite-the-bullet and buy a Bunn. The Bunn BXT-B is not for everyone and if you don't plan on brewing a pot every few days you may shun the fact that the Bunn is always on - it really is an expense.

One thing to recognize - please follow the initial set-up guide (I briefly describe it in the video) if you do NOT follow the initial set-up you will likely ruin your Bunn and void your warranty.

Things that I like

Brew coffee fast.... like 3-minutes fast - I have time to brew a few pots in the morning prior to going to work.
Great Taste - much better than the traditional drip-through method.
The thermal carafe is awesome - Bunn states that it will keep the coffee hot for 90 minutes, but I find it drinkable for much longer than that.
Doesn't steam while brewing - makes it much safer for my cabinets
Hot water on Demad - just pout the desired amount of water into the top and catch the hot water at the bottom (great for tea..... although it may be a touch warm for hot chocolate).
Bunn quality - I expect to own this thing for 10 years

Things that you should know PRIOR to purchasing

Again, this thing is always on... always pulling electricity
Requires Bunn filters
You probably will want to buy whole bean coffee such as Batdorf & Bronson Kenya AA, Whole Bean Coffee, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 3) and using a burr grinder. I use a cheap one Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill but it works well
You may want to use filtered water
Does require an occasional cleaning
It is higher/taller than a standard coffee maker - save yourself some grief and make sure that you have a minimum of 16" clearance
The tank remains warm o the touch..always
I would HIGHLY recommend in spending the extra $$$ and buying the thermal carafe - absolutely worth the extra expense
Not programmable at all - no clock or fancy electronics on the Bunn BTX-B. It simply brews coffee

Final Verdict - If you make at least a pot a day of coffee this is likely to be an investment that will pay major dividends. Easily the best coffee maker that I have ever used.
