Bunn BTX-B 10 Cups Coffee Maker

This is the best home pourover coffee maker I've used. The brand name tells you almost everything you need to know. Bunn is the premiere commercial coffee brewer brand for restaurants. This is NOT a drip coffee maker. Tips: fill the carafe with boiling water and let it sit for a little while then empty it so the heat of the brewed coffee is not "leeched" into the carafe. If you do not use Bunn filters, be sure your filters are 2.5 inches tall. I prefer the gold tone metal filter. Some people say the brown paper filters add an odd taste. For the best iced coffee, use the Japanese method: Put filtered-water ice to match half the water required for your coffee into the carafe. Put the equivalent amount of water in the machine. You will brew double-strength coffee directly onto the ice in the carafe. The 200-degree water of the Bunn is critical to extract the flavors from the coffee. The ice is just as critical. It will cool the brewed coffee very quickly so the aromatics stay in the liquid. Have you ever had coffee which smelled better than it tasted? The flavor went into the air. Japanese ice brewing minimizes this. Use a kettle to heat the water you pour into the machine. This minimizes delay between brews. This machine heats the "new" water before adding it to the reserved water. Be sure to remove the coffee grounds before they have dripped dry. The last bit of water dripping out is bitter.

This coffee maker is great. I like the way the carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours. The convience of how fast it makes the coffee is also a plus. This is my second bunn coffee maker and I would never buy any other brand, they are well worth the money.

I got this product because my other Bunn coffee maker had broken after years of service,
I did not realise that it does not have a heating/warming pad at the bottom of the pot like my old one did,
The coffee is not always as hot as I would like it to be.
I would advise that if you were buying a Bunn coffee maker go for the one with the heating/warmer under the pot.
I hope this helps you

Great coffee maker! nice looking! I bought this as a gift for my parents, they are trried and true Bunn coffe maker fans!! Neddless to say it was a perfect gift for them! They LOVE it!

This is my second purchase of this pot. I loved and used the first purchase for several years and had to purchase another when it quit. The coffee is fast and more important, hot and remains hot for hours in the insulated pot.
