Bunn BTX

This unit keeps a full caraf and a half of water in its tank at all times. This tank has a heating element which keeps this water at 200 degrees at all times, 24-7, regardless if you want a cup of coffee or… not. This tank isn't insulated. Honestly, why would any company build something like this? It may be fine for an office situation but a private home? Certainly not mine! It's packed up and going back! I don't care what it looks like. It could be the nicest looking coffee pot in the world and it could last forever for all I care. The wasteful use of electricity kills the machine.

After a Mr. Coffee that seemed to take forever to brew, and TWO Cuisinarts that both failed within 2 weeks of purchase, I finally invested in a Bunn with the thermal carafe. It was weird at first..… figuring out that closing the water reservoir lid started the brew process, but once we got that figured out, it was magic. AND ITS FAST!!! The coffee is smooth and rich and I used the 2 TBS per cup measure since I like mine strong. Great cup of coffee and worth every penny. BTW, I just got mine for $99.00 at Kohl's. Check the stores for great buys around the holidays!

This is my third Bunn Coffee maker purchase in many years. I wanted the improved insulated carafe and it is much lighter then the older model. It keeps coffee fresh for a few hours. It makes a pot of great… tasting coffee in 3 minutes. I am a coffee snob and love columbian coffee that is hot, fresh and ready fast. Most of my Bunns lasted 7 to 10 years and my son is still using my last one. They are expensive upfront but given the long life and consistant great tasting coffee it is worth every penny to me. Also they are quiet and do not make obnoxious sucking noises while brewing like non spray head pots.
