Programmable 10-Cup BUNN Heat N Brew Coffee Maker

Grant E.: It brings out the best in our choices of coffee. Outstanding!

NJ: First off I don't consider myself a "coffee snob," although I do grid my beans fresh every morning and have several methods to brew my morning joe. I've used auto drip, pour over, french press and old school percolator. Bought this Bunn since my auto drip went and because of the fact that you really do need the right temp of water to extract the best flavor from your coffee. First I was surprised by the amount of plastic on this. I at least would have expected the water tank to be stainless steel instead of cheap plastic. I expected more quality from Bunn than what this coffee maker is, especially for the price. It looks more like a cheap Mr. Coffee with all of the plastic. But I will say the carafe is good quality and the anti drip spout works well. As far as brewing, it does heat up the water properly, but the quality of the final brew is really just average. Even though I tried different beans and different grind settings it still makes an average cup of coffee. Also you can't just use your average flat bottom basket filter because the grounds will over flow the filter, you need to use Bunn high side filters. While it does the job, I was expecting better than this for a Bunn...

mountaindog: My old Capresso bit the dust and made it a project (again) to find a 'maker with all stainless steel if in contact with water. I used to have to maintain and repair Bunn commercial coffee makers in a multi floor and building office complex full of sales people and support staff. I know how they are made. Yes, the Bunn Heat n Brew appears to have a stainless tank and 'no aluminum comes in contact with the water' like it's commercial cousins, but has some parts in plastic that I can see through the water fill port without disassembling the unit. Main thing is it appears to have no aluminum in contact (tank) with the hot water ! YAY !

Now to the 'BUT' part... I rather got used to the 2 hour auto shut off feature on my Capresso. I could just leave the house or putz around the farm and knew it would shut off by itself. I usually forget to turn it off anyways as one of life's quirks with interruptions. As for the Heat n Brew, I was unable to decern from Heat n Brew ads, specs or reviews but unless mine is defective, I find on the 'brew' cycle the burner will stay on the 2 hours the specs say but the 'push the brew button to turn off and back on and hold for 5 seconds,' the unit...

Amazon Customer: We had another BUNN for years. The first time with this one but very pleased with results. A little longer as it does not keep water hot all the time but no big deal and still way better than the normal drip style.

Amazon Customer: Very easy to program and use and makes very tasty coffee! My girlfriend used to still buy coffee at Tim’s all the time with our former coffee maker but now she prefers our Bunn coffee. I bought a second one for a second house — I think the makers took reviews into account. The coffee pot plastic lid doesn’t fall out easily in our second Bunn like it does for the first Bunn!

Ron W: First off, I have to say Bunn knows what they are doing when it comes to brewing coffee. There is a reason they are in most commercial establishments for their coffee needs. As for this coffee maker, it works well besides one minor flaw. The first thing I like about it, is that it brews coffee at the perfect temperature. Coffee needs to be brewed between 195 and 205 to extract the flavor of the beans. This coffee maker does that perfectly. I measured the temperature of the brew to be 200 degrees, which is in the proper range. It might take a little longer to heat the water, but it's well worth the wait. If you put warm water in the reservoir, it will cut that time down from the normal 6 minutes it takes to heat it. After it heats, it brews the coffee quite quickly. The only flaw I've come across from the brewing process is that after about 2 weeks it leaks a little bit of water from the Coffee basket and drips a little down the side of the unit. Other users have reported this as well. From what I can tell it has to do with the spray head. It must not be spraying evenly down into the basket and it sprays the top of the basket and drips a little down the side of it and onto the base...

Albert Nauss: As with all Bunn coffee makers it makes great coffee quickly. The one and only problem with this coffee maker is that it is very sensitive about water quality. I am on a well so the water is not great. So I use a top quality water filter system on the main house feed and then get water out of the faucet and filter it again with a Zero water filter. Still the coffee maker signals for it to be cleaned at about a two week interval and lately it is requiring cleaning every week and a half. Getting worse.
I would only recommend this product for people on city water "MAYBE", not having tried it on city water myself ?? Going Back to Bunn velocity brew...

rhardy: Poorly designed coffee maker prone to lukewarm coffee shortly after brewing
Save your money and buy something else that meets your needs.
Finding a good reliable coffee maker isn't easy.
A root cause may be corporations fighting durability and right to repair trying to get rich and force consumers into a disposable mindset.
I was very disappointed, even with subscription, I could not find good trusted consumer reviews.
Paid commercial reviews by coffee aficionados organizations didn't serve me well.
They both seemed to ignore what really mattered to a consumer.
The only thing that seem to have a modicum of truth to them were consumer reviews and then there were so many of them it was hard to find truth.
It was hard to gauge what was a real honest reviews, which were user error, what was a one off manufacturing defect and which ones were likely fake ones.
Only the uniqueness and level of effort in the review helped find authenticity.

I did a lot of research trying to find a clear winner before finally giving up and paying $273 for this maker.
In my opinion I believe this coffee maker is obscenely overpriced especially in Canada.
What I...
