BUNN BXBD Velocity Brew High Altitude 10-Cup Home Brewer, Black
Product Description
The BUNN BXBD Velocity Brew High Altitude Classic 10-Cup Home Brewer in Black is specifically designed for use in high altitude areas, which includes a specially engineered thermostat for use above 4,000 feet and above. This special version of the BUNN BX-B offers BUNN brewing perfection with the classic, stainless steel accented design that customers have loved for years. Patterned after BUNN's commercial and restaurant brewing systems, this home brewer puts high quality materials and classic brewing technology into one great package. The stainless steel tank holds the brew water at the optimal brewing temperature required to extract the maximum flavor from coffee. The brewer uses a specially designed sprayhead to create optimum turbulence in the funnel for just the right amount of time. As a result, BUNN home brewers produce 10 cups of perfect coffee in about three minutes, less than half the time of most regular coffee makers.

The Bunn BXB is an excellent coffee maker, but requires a different understanding of brewing coffee.Instead of super heating the water immediately before spraying it over the grounds, this coffee maker has a stainless steel tank that stores hot water at around 200 degree fahrenheit. This enables the coffee maker to spray hot rather than super heated water over the grounds, eliminating the scorched taste and power surges associated with fast heating. Fresh water poured into the reservoir at the top flows into the bottom of the storage tank pushing hot water out the top onto the waiting coffee grounds making a hot pot of coffee in under three minutes. The storage tank takes about 15 minutes to heat the first time and will hold almost two carafes worth of water.My last Bunn lasted 15 years and failed due to a design flaw, which has been fixed in this model. Other coffee brewers were lucky to last 5 years.My old Bunn coffee maker had the hot water tank in direct contact with the water reservoir in the top of the maker. This contact caused the water reservoir to disintegrate and leak whenever fresh water was poured into the coffee maker.In the new model, this contact point is removed, separating the hot water tank from the water reservoir by about 1/2 inch. In addition, the reservoir now has a valve that doesn't release the water into the hot water tank until the cover on the reservoir is closed. No more spilled water if you're not fast enough with the carafe or forget the carafe needs to be in position before pouring in fresh water. This new feature also means no need to use and store the separate measuring/fill container.My only problem with this design is the lack of insulation around the hot water tank. Because the water stays constantly hot, the coffee maker is a heat source that must be guarded against and is warm enough to be uncomfortable although not hot enough to burn. This lack of insulation also results in heat/energy being lost that could be conserved. (I use this excess heat to pre-warm canned catfood for my pride of cats by placing the catfood on top of the coffee maker. It heats the canned catfood just enough without overheating.)Because this coffee maker is constantly plugged in, it may not be useable in some businesses that have rules about leaving appliances plugged in overnight to prevent fires. It is, however, an excellent coffee maker where coffee/hot water is needed 24/7.Other than that, a great coffee maker that I'll buy again -- in 15 to 20 years.(Note: This is NOT the high altitude model designed for use above 5,000 feet. The high altitude models are the "D" models.)

Cons:Standard grocery-store filters are shorter than the type that works best in this machine, but you can get by with the grocery-store variety. It just makes a little more mess in the grinds-basket.You have to wait 15 minutes for the machine to heat the tank of water before you can turn on the drip coffee function. This is pain if you don't use it for more than one pot of coffee, but not really much more wait time than a standard brewer -- it just requires you come back after 15 minutes and click it on.Retro "Denny's" look.No programmable settings.Pros:No programmable settings to learn.Once heated, it makes very consistent coffee in 3 minutes. It sprays super-hot water all over the coffee grounds (in a circular pattern) so you get a really even flavor from all your grounds.If you're making more than 1 pot of coffee, this machine is even better.

I purchased a new BXB Bunn coffeemaker approximately 4 weeks ago. I purchased a Bunn because of the quality and great coffee flavor. I noticed immediately the coffee tasted weak, no matter how many grounds I added. I thought maybe it was just me but after having a few people over they too remarked at how weak the coffee was. I just made a phone call to Bunn customer service and they were wonderful. I was asked to remove the basket and check for a sprayhead. Sprayhead, what sprayhead? All I had was a threaded screw with a nut, no sprayhaed. Needless to say my coffeemaker was missing this most important part. That would be the reason my coffee was weak. The water was merely dripping through the coffee grounds and spilling into the pot instead of spraying the grounds. I'm going to be sent two sprayheads for free! I have read other customer reviews and there are numerous people who are complaining of weak coffee as well. I would have to say that they too are probably missing the sprayhead. Not sure how these coffee makers can leave the factory without them but I guess it does happen. A simple call to Bunn customer service and they'll set you up with the missing part. I'm looking forward to a good cup of coffee once the sprayhead arrives. Again, great customer service which keeps me buying Bunn products!
