If you want great coffee, do not waste your money on anything else
Positive Product Points
Well built, great coffee. fast
Will brew with the best of them. You will have to pay hundreds of dollars for a good commercial machine to come close to this one.
I have used mine 12 years and it is still going strong. If I had to replace it tomorrow, it would be another BUNN, without a doubt.
Negative Product Points
A little too fast for pregound coffee - could be considered a positive with most canned coffee
A little expensive, but if your looking for machine that will make great coffee, it is very cheap.
A lot of platic makes it feel cheap, but still worth every penny.
Detailed Commentary
This is the only home drip coffee maker I have checked that will maintain a 200 degree brewing temperature from start to finish.
Brews a little fast for preground canned coffees, but for most of them that might be a plus. For Gourmet coffees, I would recommend grinding your own and grinding them fairly fine to slow the brewing speed down. Makes the best cup of coffee you can drink then.
If used in hard water areas it will build up calcium inside so I would recommend using spring water.
