Brew Delicious Coffee at Home with the BUNN BT Velocity 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Coffee Brewer in Black

Andy: Super happy with this machine ...
- it couldn't be easier to fill and start a pot
- the carafe is very solid and balanced, no buttons or levers to hold down
- quick and quiet ... 4mins or so, and it stops dripping
- love that there are no buttons, timers, clocks, settings, beeps, lights or electronics ... just coffee, man

Tips
- fill the water to the rim to get a full pot, some water stays in the grounds
- the coffee is extra-hot to start out, so be careful ... especially if you brew a Yeti and put the lid right on
- don't pull the pot too soon, you'll get a mess ... look under the cup to see the dripping stop, its really quiet
- use the Bunn filters ... I tried my old ones and that made it keep dripping forever

Craig S: Love my Bunn brewer. It's so quick to brew 10 cups in 5 minutes. I bought the one with the insulated pot. It keeps the coffee piping hot for at least 2 hrs. The only complaints I have is I had to ask Bunn to send a diffuser for decaf coffee. I received it within a few days but in the meantime the coffee overflowed the filter basket. The plastic part they sent probably costs them pennies to make. They should just include it with the pot. The other thing I didn't realize when purchasing was the carafe doesn't have lines on it so you can't measure less than 10 cups accurately. I have an old Mr. Coffee carafe I use to measure if I want to make less than 10 servings. I would have given it 5 stars if I hadn't had the problem with decaf coffee overflowing and measuring issue. My sister has the Bunn with glass carafe and she didn't have any of the negative issues I mentioned. Maybe that's the way to go.

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.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Coffee is ready in approximately 4 minutes and it’s hot. I love this coffee maker so much that this is the third one I’ve purchased in the past 12 years. I’m definitely never disappointed with this brand

Patrick P: My first Bunn lasted about 13 years, once you had one you can’t go back to the cheap coffee machines out there, plus in less then 3 minutes your coffee pot is ready. That’s important in the morning when you are in a hurry 😉

steve9999: 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.

Vallee: I love Bunn products, therefore the 2star rating, the machine is easy, if not cleaned once a week it boils and gurgles for at least 10 minutes after each and every pot, it sprays water everywhere and I mean everywhere, we keep forgetting to double check and make sure the carafe is empty, and I mean empty and dry, or it overflows, and needless to say my white cupboards are coffee stained and the underneath is starting to discolour..... I personally think the water spraying everywhere is my biggest annoyance... and good luck getting the replacement part during 'COVID'.... I does keep the coffee kinda hot for an hour, definitely NOT the 2 hours it states! yes I would buy BUNN again, but definitely not this particular model....
UPDATE: I have had this machine for 11 Months and it has ruined my white cupboards and still overflows... the coffee grounds literally overflow out around the top, and coffee and grounds quite literally spew all over... my hardwood floor has lifted and my white cupboard are permanently stained and the coffee is hot for half an hour and warm for maybe an hour. complete waste of $261.45

Thea F. GlennThea F. Glenn: The media could not be loaded.  I would like to start with this is my third coffee maker in less than 6 months. However, this one I really hopes can last longer because I really love it. When I first set up the system I was concerned because the bottom is plastic and didn't have a heating plate. Upon further inspection, I realized that it does not need a hot plate because the croft is thermal and keeps the coffee warm for you. The process of filling the tank was different. Leave the machine off and unplugged. You have to pour water into the coffee maker 2 or 3 times spacing out 4 minutes till the pot has water in the croft. So to make sure I am explaining myself correctly is that you pour a coffee pot worth of water into the machine. Place the coffee pot in its slot and close the lid where you pour the water into the machine. If you close that lid then you are going to allow the coffee or water to start flowing and can make a mess. Then after 4 minutes have passed get the pot to rinse it out and refill for round 2. I kept this process up until I had a full croft. The reason you do this is to fill the water tanks. When the tanks are filled plug in the coffee maker and turn on...

William M. Gibson: ****Update 9-14-15****Heating element has gone out (or some other problem that has caused the water to stop heating). This was my 3rd unit in 8 years. First one lasted 2 years, then developed a leak. 2nd one lasted 2 years then the heating element went out. This one lasted 4 years. Some would argue that is not a good record of reliability, but in general, I've enjoyed this machine and it was a good 4 year run of fast, tasty coffee. In a weird kind of way, the timing was perfect. I've been a big fan of Bunn for many years, and this coffee maker in particular, but for the last couple of months I've noticed that the coffee wasn't tasting as good. Can't really describe exactly what was wrong, just that it was not as good, even after cleaning. Maybe deposits had built up over time that were getting into the coffee. Maybe the spray head was no longer spraying properly. Regardless, I had actually decided to try something different, and I have a Bonavita 1900TS on order, and it should come in in the next day or two. Ironic that the Bunn crapped out right after I ordered the Bonavita. Almost like it knew.........
