BUNN GRB Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, Black

I needed a new coffee maker and purchased one that I thought would be good. But I ended up returning it because it would not keep my coffee hot. It also had quite a few digital processes that were pretty complicated to set. So I looked long and hard for a great but simple coffee maker. I did a lot of research and finally found it! Bunn Coffee makers are exceptional. If you want great tasting coffee without the bells and whistles, this is the coffee maker for you. It is different than all other coffee makers because it stays on all the time so you always have piping hot water that makes coffee in two minutes or less. (It’s been about one minute for us) I also drink mushroom coffee, which is instant and needs no brewing, so this machine has hot water available all the time for that. No need to boil water anymore for me. Please note that brewing decaf coffee needs a special item which BUNN sends to you free when you ask them for it. This machine has a special spray effect when brewing the coffee and apparently decaffeinated grounds are very different than regular so a different part is needed for best results. On another note, you do have to follow the instructions exactly when setting up the coffee maker. It is not hard at all, but just specific. My husband and I love this coffee machine and because of all the reviews, I know it will last for many years.

Love my Bunn! This is our fourth one in 30 years. Love the speedy brewing and makes good coffee. Love the clear carafe and the fact that the water is already hot so you can get your morning coffee asap.

Best coffee maker ever! Fast brew, no drip spout, always hot and ready in about 3 minutes! Get this leave the others behind! You'll love it!

I just purchased my forth BUNN coffee maker in thirty years. I hope to get another ten years of service from this wonderful machine! I was instantly hooked on the quality and speed of the brewed coffee from a friend’s coffee maker, I already had trust in the brand after seeing the BUNN name in quite a few local coffee shops so I felt the extra cost over the regular store shelf brands was justified. BUNN recommended replacing the machine in four years so I was a bit nervous the entire fifth year of the first machine but the heating element finally gave out a few years later. The second one came with a pitcher my new mother-in-law loved; she wasn’t use to not having to turn it on yet, lol. The innovation helped her to choose to invest in her own BUNN! I myself was impressed by the valve under the lid when I got my third machine! I only replaced the third one because it started leaking on the counter if left in the open position over night; my home care aide likes to leave it set ready to go for me in the morning’s. My new GRB Velocity Brew machine is identical to the last one; on the outside anyway. I’m left to wonder if they haven’t fixed the leaking valve; time will tell I guess. But it does say they have reached an important plateau in home design as far as looks and quality are concerned. So if you are on the proverbial fence when it comes to the extra investment, I highly recommend you get one! You won’t be disappointed! TIP: if you use municipal water to make your coffee, I have come to use Deer Park bottled water. It is another step up in my morning elixirs quality!

The reason Bunn makes such a good cup of coffee is because the water is preheated and dispensed through the large spray head at a constant, optimal temperature. Our first velocity brew lasted around 7 years, and yes, ultimately developed a leak. We have a Mr Coffee, 10 cup in our RV, which I brought into the house while thinking about a replacement and we brewed 2 pots - with and without the 'strong brew' option, both brewed a similar strength coffee, but both slightly bitter, more decidedly with the 'strong brew' option which slows down the brew time. I haven't done scientific temperature measurement, but I understand the reason Bunn makes a better tasting cup of coffee. I'd like to have gotten more than 7 years out of our first velocity brew, but the price is reasonable for such great coffee. One downside is no automatic shutoff for the pot warmer. The fancy timer stuff is pretty useless on a Bunn because a full pot brews in 3-4 minutes. The other downside is they need to be turned off completely if you are not using it for more than a couple of days because the tank will run dry. This is definitely a coffee maker for those who brew at least daily. I did some research looking at other coffee makers, and there's lots of other machines out there, but the Bunn is hands down the best tasting coffee. Especially at this price level, I'm surprised Bunn is not consistently top rated. It does not have a clock, won't wake you up or allow you to start the brew cycle from your Bluetooth device, but it does make a smooth, delicious cup of hot coffee in a very short time.

After using our Bunn for a couple of weeks now, we are pleased with it overall and it does make a good cup of coffee. Pros: Fast, quiet, and user friendly. Love the fact that it fills from the front. The decanter is truly non-drip. NOT a negative for us: Yes, as some have mentioned this coffee maker does require Bunn (slightly larger) filters, but that is no big deal to my way of thinking. We are coffee lovers and spend a few extra bucks for better coffee anyway, and the filters are available almost everywhere. If economy is what's important, than one should be looking at the ubiquitous "Mister" brand $15 coffee pot anyway, right? Cons: I should have taken more seriously what some other reviewers when they say "your whole house will smell like hot plastic for a few days"! Had I realized just how strong the smell is, I would have set up the Bunn in our garage and used it there for the first several days! Thankfully the smell has now subsided. I knocked off 1 star because of this. The only other shortcoming that we've encountered so far is that brewing (only) 6 cups of decaf coffee almost overflowed the filter; I'm sure had we brewed more cups at one time it would have overflowed. Looking in the troubleshooting guide, Bunn states that if you use decaf coffee OR have soft water, you will need a special restrictor-type spray head. Well guess what - we also have a water softener! We contacted Bunn and they cheerfully and quickly sent 2 restrictor heads at no charge. I'm guessing that the reason they supplied 2 heads is that with smaller holes, it will become plugged-up more quickly; we'll see. It's simple to change-out the head, just unscrew it with your fingers and screw the new one back in. And it did solve the problem at least for brewing 6 cups, as we haven't tried a full pot yet. However, it does slow-down the brewing process, taking about 5 1/2 minutes vs. 3. That in itself is no big deal since that's still fairly quick. But it does partially negate Bunn's premise on why a Bunn makes such good coffee - that the pre-heated water flows quickly through the filtered coffee grounds so as not to remain in the filter basket long enough for the grounds to make the coffee bitter. Seems to me that since the restricted spray head slows down the brewing process, water now stays in the grounds a little longer now. And although our coffee still tastes good, it was slightly better with the original spray head. I see that some peeps are concerned about the electricity cost for the coffee maker to have the water preheated all day/night. I chose to put ours on a "smart plug" that turns it off/on. I schedule it to turn on at 5 am, and then off at 9 am. The plug is controlled via a phone app, and costs $8 at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091699Z3W?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 I ran some calculations of the electricity usage and costs, using a Kill-A-Watt meter. Leaving it on all day and night uses 0.84 kWh per day. We make two 6-cup pots of coffee each morning. With my 4 hour "on" schedule, it uses 0.38 kWh. per day. My electricity rate is 10.2 cents per kWh. Other common rates in my state are 11, 12, 13, and 14 cents. I've attached a table reflecting those rates and the respective costs. Note that the coffee maker takes about 11 minutes to heat the water from a cold start. So if you choose to leave it turned off until you're ready to brew coffee, it will obviously use much less electricity. But for us, and with the smart plug, the convenience of being able to quickly brew a pot is worth the small cost. Hope this helps. Sidenote: Bunn should make the restrictor spray head available as an optional component when ordering the coffee maker, depending on one's intended use of decaf and/or softened water. But if you feel that you will need it, I suggest that calling Bunn and requesting the restrictor head immediately after ordering the coffee maker; they required no proof of purchase and no product date code, only the model number "GRB". Phone 800-352-BUNN In summary, if this coffee maker lasts a few years we'll be very happy. And if it doesn't, we may buy another one anyway :>)

I’ve been using Bunn coffee makers for many, many years. The coffee tastes wonderful. It’s always ready to make fresh coffee. Make a full pot, portions of a pot, or a mug and immediately, as you pour water into the coffee maker the coffe starts pouring into the pot or mug. Nothing else like it. I’ll NEVER BE WITHOUT!

BUNN coffee Brew is phenomenal. I love it, coffee is piping, hot and easy to use. So convenient highly recommend.

The best cup of drip coffee you can make at home. The person who wrote the setup instructions deserves an award for clarity. Even a dummy like me who struggles to follow instructions can set this machine up easily and error free. Pros: Best drip coffee you can drink at home. It rivals the coffee served by the best restaurants and diners. Fast brewing. A full pot of coffee brews in 2 to 3 minutes. Cons: If you live in an area with soft water, you must call Bunn to obtain a flow restrictor or use a coarser grind of coffee. Note, coarser grind affects the taste. Bunn will ship the flow restrictor to you free of charge but it is basically a 10 cent piece of plastic which should be included in the box. While you wait 2 or 3 days for the flow restrictor to arrive, remove the existing spray nozzle and break off a toothpick in one of the holes. This temporary measure solves the problem but gives your coffee a slight "tooth picky" taste. Still, if you like a morning cup of coffee this machine is worth the price.

Es rápida pero demasiado austera para el precio, un poco complicado ajustar el ciclo viene muy general el instructivo

I was blown away by the speed in which this coffee maker brews a pot of coffee! Absolutely nails it on speed, taste and ease. The temperature will be slightly less than boiling point. So if you need to cool your coffee down to drink it you may be pleasantly surprised... Myself, I like a hot cup of coffee but am happy with the temperature be it just slightly cooler. Keep in mind it is brewing at the proper temperature to achieve full flavour. It was an upgrade for us and am very happy we did it!

Vraiment rapide et efficace. L'eau toujours très chaude. Le café est excellent. J'ai 65 ans, j'ai essayé plusieurs marques dans ma vie et c'est la meilleure. Toute la famille est très satisfait. Le prix vaut vraiment la peine.

Je l'utilise chaque jour que je suis vivant. J'avais besoin d'une cafetière qui reste allumée aussi longtemps que je le désire. J'en avais déjà une de bonne qualité et je l'ai mise au rancart parce qu'elle s'éteignait aux 4 heures. J'en ai reçu une de cette marque en cadeau de cette marque dans les années '80 et elle a duré plus de 25 ans. Elle fait du café comparable à toute autre: bonne mouture = bon café; mauvaise mouture = mauvais café. À vous de bien choisir.
