Of course we bought another BUNN

2026-02-26    -Gigi

We bought this Home Brewer to replace an old 90's Bunn commercial brewer that finally started leaking and then the element burned out. We are very happy because it brews in 3 minutes (just 30 seconds longer than our old commercial brewer). I think this Speed Brew Home Brewer is very similar to the commercial version, but in plastic and doesn't have the metal cover over the tank, but this has the convenient brew pin on the lid, so we don't have to rush to get the pot under in time, as our commercial brew was very instant and we would sometimes loose a bit of coffee on the element. The decanter does indeed keep coffee hot for 2 hours like it says, but I think it's still hot enough after 4 hours sitting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent But Not Quite Perfect (Update 2024)

2025-12-24    -LinKen

(Update 2024)I am raising my review to 5 stars. After six years of use, this coffee maker has proven to be great! It still makes piping hot coffee in record time. It still looks and works practically as good as new. See below some of my suggestions. They all still apply, but the little rubber stopper in the lid is still there and working fine! My daughter loves this coffee maker so much that she purchased one. Shortly thereafter, they moved to another state with their nearly new Bunn, still under warranty. When they arrived at their new home and plugged it in it didn't work. I wondered if they forgot to fill it up with water but they swore they did not forget! Still it didn't work. They contacted Bunn and were sent a brand new coffee maker! That's customer service! The new one works great. So I am sold.These things have risen in price exponentially thanks to our wonderful government, imo. But I still recommend this to anyone who wants a good coffee maker that is well made, easy to use and makes excellent coffee. Maybe I should become a dealer! :-) If you need a good coffee maker without a lot of bells and whistles but one that makes good coffee FAST and is covered by good customer service, you won't be disappointed! 5 stars! (End of update)============================I have had this coffee maker for over a year now and am overall very pleased with it. It consistently makes good coffee quickly and piping hot. My family makes several pots a day, so I feel that I have used the machine as much as most people would in two or three years and it is still going strong. At the price, I would expect it to last at least five years or more. We'll see how that works out.The only reason I gave it a four star rating rather than a five star rating is because I feel that Bunn still needs to do some engineering upgrades. I make these suggestions while realizing that there are some limitations due to the fact that the machine pre-heats the water. But just throwing out some ideas from the consumer's point of view that some bright engineers might tackle and that some marketing managers might consider as selling points. Here are this layman's suggestions (slight complaints):1. I like the on/off switch, but I feel that it is ridiculous that you can burn the coffee maker up if you plug it up without filling it with water first. I did not make that mistake and Bunn gives a warning, but it would still be VERY easy to do. There should be an automatic power shut-off that would prevent this automatically if you plug it up empty! Be warned!2. The coffee carafe sometimes drips down the side and from the bottom when pouring. This is a common problem with may coffee pots, and I do not know the solution. Obviously, pouring too fast will cause this; but it also sometimes happens no matter how slowly you pour the coffee. At other times, it pours perfectly. Not really sure what to suggest on this one.3. I really like the design of the stainless steel carafe. It keeps coffee hot a long time, is easy to clean and only has two parts .... or is it three? While washing the lid one day, I discovered that there is a tiny rubber "stopper" or whatever in the center of the lid that will easily come out! I almost didn't notice it and it could easily have been lost. This needs to be changed. I always worry that this little rubber part will get lost by mistake. I think the fact that this will come off the lid so easily when hand washing is crazy!4. The only other suggestion I have is that it would be very nice if this machine had a temporary flow-stop so that you could pour a cup of coffee while it is still making (dripping). This is a real picky suggestion since it only takes a few minutes to make a full pot. But the final few drips seem to take a long time to stop and you will make a small mess if you don't wait. It would be great it you could start pouring coffee when the main flow finishes and then place the pot back to catch the last few drips. Very picky and just a consumer wish list. This is not a real problem, but I always wish the drips would finish! :-)Overall, I would highly recommend this coffee maker. It has many great features that Bunn will point out in their advertising. It works as advertised for me. These comments should be taken just as a few fairly picky suggestions to make this unit even better. If Bunn will introduce some of these suggestions into the next model and send me a free one to test, I'll review it fairly and thoroughly!If you drink coffee by the pot and you need a coffee maker, I can highly recommend this one. I am a satisfied customer so far after over a year and a lot of coffee.

Best coffee maker!

Purchased this for my parents, as their previous one stopped working. Absolutely love it! Coffee is made quickly, but doesn’t taste “burnt” like a lot of the cheaper coffee makers.Well worth the $$!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bunn BTBT Speed Brew

2026-01-01    -Dwayne Montgomery

Without a doubt, this is the absolute best coffee maker you can buy for your home. There is none better.Our first Bunn lasted well over 10 years. It still brewed coffee perfectly but developed an occasional leak. In that 10 years, it went through well over 5,000 cycles without a problem. (That is a conservative estimate because our Amazon order history shows we purchase a case of 600 Bunn filters every year.)Since the thermal carafe keeps your coffee hot for several (about 6) hours, there is no heating plate on the machine, so your coffee never over cooks. Also since the carafe is metal, you don’t have to worry about shattered glass if you are accidentally a little rough with it or just clumsy like me.The machine stays on all the time so you never have to wait for the water to heat up before making the coffee. Just add water in the top and it flows down to the reservoir to push the existing hot water out! Brews a 10 cup pot in 3-4 minutes. There is an on/off switch on the side in case you are on an extended vacation and want to turn it off. After several days the water will evaporate a little if the machine is not regularly used.You should only use official Bunn filters. Regular coffee filters are a little shorter and can not handle the water volume a Bunn maker uses. Regular filters will overflow causing grounds in the coffee.Although the Bunn machines are generally more expensive than other makers, they are well worth the price. They last MUCH longer and are faster at brewing. If you are a serious coffee drinker, this the the best option for you!

Great coffee, top quality - don’t settle for less.

By far, the best coffee maker I have bought. It is well-built and gimmick free. At first it seemed odd that it keeps a reservoir of water ready for brewing, even though it is only used once daily to make a pot of coffee. So I wrote BUNN to ask if we should turn it off for the day, and they replied within hours (surprise!) and suggested I leave it on, and that it is what it is meant to do. So why have a programmable timer/clock/turn off time when it brews a pot of coffee in 4 minutes? And, the coffee stays very hot for over an hour in the thermos pot. It needs regular ground coffee, not fine, and BUNN filtres (they are taller than the standard basket filtres). If you are only brewing one or two cups, the standard basket filtre can work. Yes, this coffee maker is a bit expensive, but worth every cent.

I love this coffee maker. This is my 2nd one - the first one still works after 20+ years, but was time for a new one. I love the coffee making is quick - 3mins max. And the stainless steel carafe keeps coffee hot for hours. There is no hot plate so coffee doesn't get "burnt" and no worries about forgetting to turn it off, and no glass to break!
