The Coffee Maker I Should Have Bought Years Ago
For years, we have bought those cheap Mr. Coffee coffee makers. Several times, they have come close to setting our house on fire. We learned to NEVER trust them unmonitored. We tried the giant aluminum coffee urns, and while the lasted longer, they too suffered shorted cords and became fire hazards, not to mention made coffee with a metallic taste. We also tried the stainless steel percolators, and they didn't last long either. Needless to say, I was pretty jaded about coffee makers in general. Recently, we ordered the Bunn BX-B Coffee Brewer from Amazon. I live and breathe coffee. If you cut me, I bleed coffee. We go through several pots a day. I wanted something that works well, and is stoutly built. All my life, I have seen Bunn makers in restaurants and figured there had to be a good reason why so many are found in commercial settings. This Bunn Coffee Brewer has lived up to the Bunn reputation, and has finally made me a happy camper. While its speed at brewing a pot (3 minutes) was a big plus, it was not a big factor in my purchase decision. It is as fast as they claim, and that's great! What was most important to me, is that it brew good coffee, and not set my house on fire. This brewer does make great coffee, and from the way it is built, I don't worry about fires. I had read in other reviews that Bunn's customer service was very helpful and friendly, and that also influenced my purchase. I also read in other reviews that the carafe's tend to be easy to break if bumped, so I ordered a spare carafe just in case. Amazon had that for $14.99, so that was a good price. This maker does not have all the fancy computer nonsense in it, such as timers, etc., but I could care less about that stuff. All in all, I am very happy with my Bunn brewer, and would gladly buy another one if needed. It was well worth the money. Our old Mr. Coffee maker will go to the landfill where it belongs. Bunn is an American company, and makes an excellent product!UPDATE July 21, 2014: I purchased my Bunn BX-B on July 26th, 2011. It carried a three-year warranty. Just six days before the warranty expired, my beloved coffee maker died a sad and horrible death! (the switches went dead). I just now called Bunn, and spoke to a lovely young lady. I gave her my model number, date code, and when I purchased it from Amazon. She asked for my name and address, and said that they would be sending me a brand new coffee maker with a new 3-year warranty within 7 days. No arguments, no hoops to jump through, just great honest customer service! She did ask that I return the old unit to them after the new one arrives, but I could keep the old carafe and filter basket as spares. Ladies and gentlemen, that is how customer service should be done, and I take my hat off to the good folks at Bunn!Side-note: A year after I bought this coffee maker for myself, I bought one for my son's newly completed house as well. He's had excellent luck with his coffee maker. Also, in my initial review, I'd mentioned reading that the glass carafe's were easy to break, so I bought a spare one when I bought my coffee maker. Three years later, we were still on the carafe that came with our Bunn, and that spare one I bought is still in the box it came in from Amazon. So, they don't seem as fragile as what I was led to believe, but I am reassured that we always have a spare, just in case.

Great Coffee--Great Coffee Maker--some tips...
I read a lot of reviews before I purchased my coffee maker from Amazon. I am glad I did. It's a funny thing to me, but often simpler is better. There is no water filter to mess with and have to change out. There is no grinder attached. It is simply a coffee maker that makes good coffee. Before I bought this machine, I called Bunn's customer service to ask some questions. The gal I talked to was so helpful--her help alone sold me on the machine!This is what I learned:1) Use only Bunn coffee filters. They have higher sides and will keep the grounds from ending up in the coffee. You can buy them online at Amazon, the Bunn Gourmet website, or at Walmart in the store if you need them today. We make really strong coffee, so I have to put more grounds in the basket. The filters are really important.2) The regular sprayhead does make the coffee go through really fast. If you call Bunn's customer service and tell them what model you have, they will send you a slower sprayhead for free. No charge. The customer service gal asked me which model I was going to buy and sent the sprayhead even before I had placed my order on Amazon! The slower sprayhead is also helpful if you have hard water, I believe she said-- The slower sprayhead is helpful for us because it takes longer for the water to go through the grounds, which makes the coffee stronger and it keeps the water from overflowing the full basket of grounds it has to go through.3) Use filtered water from your sink or fridge in the coffee maker.4) Bunn makers make a 5 oz. cup of coffee so adjust your ratios according to how strong you like your coffee. (My old Krups was a 4 oz. cup)Because we like such strong coffee, we can only make about 8 5-oz. cups at a time because I can't fit any more grounds in. But, I don't mind. That's as much as our Krups 10 cup made and the coffee is great and hot!Bunn has the right idea--I think. They simplified things. Less things to break and just what is needed to do the job right!

Best, hottest coffee and excellent customer service
This is without a doubt the best coffeemaker I have owned. The coffee is brewed quickly and comes out very hot so one can add milk, cream etc. and still have a hot cup of coffee.When I got the system I wasn't quite used to Bunn and the brew switch on the fill port...so, inevitably got wet lowering the lid before I had the coffee and carafe in place. You do that exactly ONCE and, trust me, lesson learned.The Bunn comes with a high flow head so it can brew coffee very quickly. However, if you like a stronger cup of coffee, just call Bunn customer service and they will send you a lower flow head for free. The low flow head is also very useful if you are a home coffee roaster like myself. Freshly roasted coffee can "bloom" and the high flow head will exaserbate that condition. The low flow head solved all issues and takes only marginally longer to get a full pot. The heads screw off easily and can be interchanged in less than 1 min. *Bunn should include both heads is my only recommendation.At altitude, we are at about 5400 feet and every, single other coffeemaker we tried brewed cold coffee (and we tried alot of them!!). One shot of milk/creak and it was off to the microwave. The high altitude Bunn makes a wonderfully hot cup of coffee that can accommodate a good does of milk or cream.Bunn customer service is simply outstanding and let's just say was significantly more helpful than the "K" manufacturer, of which, I got tired and frustrated with dealing with their non-responsiveness.Best coffeemaker for the $$ period!
