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

We got this on Amazon less expensive than we could buy at our local stores -- significantly less, I don't mind supporting the local economy but not when it is $30 or more extra dollars!. We had a similar unit that we wore out after about 6 years! But we use these coffee pots all the time -- probably 6 or 8 times a day. It stands ready to perform with hot water waiting and I feel we get our money's worth and much satisfaction and pleasure. We start in the morning making piping hot water for our dogs' meals. They get a combination of oatmeal, algae, VITALITY, and a bit of left over meat like a chicken "mcnugget" equivalent (or if we have no leftover use a bit of chicken powder), with a bit of dry dog food mixed in on top. The water is sufficiently hot to make the raw oatmeal (the best for both humans and pets) cook and the supplements mix into the oatmeal and this yields a delicious meal our dogs can hardly wait for. Then it is time for our own session. We have an organic Kona Coffee Farm (KonaComfort.com) and so we never run out and also we never get tired of that wonderful cup or two and it comes out very fast and perfect each time with our Bunn Coffee Brewer. Once it has brewed -- in what seems like just a moment -- we pour our cups hot and then I do not let the burner stay on. If there is left over coffee, our organic Kona is so sweet I can drink it warm or even cold later. It does not waste! Afternoons, we will switch to making hot water for tea. We love good organic jasmine green tea, and the Bunn Coffee Brewer makes the water just perfectly. You can make one cup or two or the 10 cup whole pot -- just what you need at the moment, and it takes about as much time to measure and pour into the top as it does for it to come out hot on the bottom. The coffee pot has a valve on the top lid so that when you open to pour water in, it waits until you are finished and close the top door before it will send the water thru to make your hot water -- this is a nice feature which our last pot (being older) did not have. Later afternoon, it is time for our second pet feeding of the day. And we usually will have dinner about the same time -- 6PM ish, and often will have another fresh pot of our Organic Kona Comfort Kona Coffee. Usually we feel like another cup of Jasmine Tea later maybe around 9PM, and sometimes we will use the pot to make instant soup packets or those nice "cup o soups" or if in the mood before going to bed to make hot water for bourbon totties. All in all, this is an indispensable appliance that we use daily and from our experience will last for many years of constant service.

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.

This is the second unit that I have bought. Original purchase was in 2010. 16 years later I had to buy again because of hard water where I live. This is the only coffee maker I have bought twice. I drink coffee everyday and have since I was in the 5th grade. (1990, ten years old I think) It makes a full pot in 3 minutes. No fancy buttons, no screens, just works and coffee is hot and ready when you are. $124 is expensive for a simple coffee maker but NO OTHER BRAND LASTS AS LONG! $124/16 years is $7.75. How long does MR Coffee, Black and Decker, Hamilton Beach or any Wal-Mart brand last for you? Does it beat $7.75 a year? I doubt it. I did not follow the instructions and clean it as often as I should have according to the instructions and my Wife. The appearance and material is ahh... IT FUNCTIONS! It pours like every other coffee maker and the size is a little bigger for the heated water tank. (needed for 3 minute pot)

Superb coffee maker. I often use a kettle and pour over funnel to make my coffee and this basically uses the same principle. Make sure to buy some BUNN coffee filters (it comes with maybe 20) because the normal filters used for other brewers are not large enough and you will end up with a mess. The machine is very easy to use and the temperature of the coffee is spot on. After initial set-up, you simply raise the lid, pour in 50oz of water, close the lid and in about 3 minutes you have perfect coffee that's better than what you can get at one of those famous spots at $4/cup. Make sure to read and follow the quick start set up instructions and you'll have success. This is the best coffee maker I've owned and is very easy to keep clean and is a great value for something of US quality. PS. I use 10 Tbsp of coffee regardless of brand and grind my beans medium/fine.

This is our third Bunn. The first one lasted 7 years and our last one 9 years with daily use. They produce fast delicious coffee. This one is a redesign from our last two and I like it. Makes me feel like I am in a NJ bagel shop, but smaller. We love our Bunns! Who wants to wait on sub par drip coffee in the morning?

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 love Bunn coffee makers. This is the third one I have bought. My last two lasted about seven years each, under heavy everyday use. The hot water reservoir means instant brewing, at a proper temperature. I like that these newer models have a fill port cover that lifts rather than rotates. That keeps condensation from dripping over the outside of the coffee maker an onto the counter. If I have any dislikes at all, it is with the warmer switch and the hotplate recess. The warmer switch turns off to the right, which is counter-intuitive and different from most other switches that turn off to the left, or in the case of prior Bunn models, down. Yes, it's illuminated. But, the light isn't very bright and it's easy to leave the switch in the on position when you instinctively reach over and think you've turned it off, when you feel the switch in the left position. Also, the hotplate recess isn't very deep. And, it's very slippery. It is really easy to accidentally knock the pot out of alignment if you bump the handle. Not much of a problem when the brewing is complete. However, it makes a mess if the brewing is in progress. Overall, I can't take off any full stars for these issues, as they are relatively minor annoyances that will probably abate with time.

Awesome coffer maker. Had a couple of these over the years and make gifts of them all the time. Full pot done in less than 10 minutes

Very quick coffee, which I love. Coffee tastes great! Set up is easy. I had a Tim Horton's Bunn years ago and loved it too. Overall, I am very pleased with it but there are a couple of things I like to see improved. I really wish there was a timer for the burner switch. We have been careful about turning it off when the coffee pot is low or empty but the timer would be an added protection for not forgetting to turn it off. Also, I am not too happy about the price of Bunn coffee filters. I prefer the non bleached kind, I didn't see any Bunn non bleached filters although I may have missed them. For this type of coffee pot you need have to have a thinner filter because the water comes through pretty fast and needs to flow through the filter easily. Otherwise it will back up and you will have coffee grounds and hot water overflowing and making a huge mess. This hasn't happened to me yet as I am using the filters that came with coffee pot. Edit. I did try a different brand of non-bleached filters. Didn't work.

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

We had our bunn Tim hortons pot for years but it kicked the bucket. I knew I needed another one similar to it. And this is it!! It's easy to use, makes a pot of coffee in about 2 minutes and it's HOT! Not sure why it has negative reviews because I couldn't be happier with it. Yes if you like super strong coffee it might shoot some grinds out because the force of the water coming out. 3 heaping tablespoons(kirkland brand) is plenty strong enough for me with ZERO ISSUES. I hope it lasts as long as my Timmie's one did. Buy it, you'll love it. I was sceptical with the ad reviews but I'm glad I did. 10 stars

Bonne cafetière. Je l’ai achetée pour remplacer ma cafetière Tim Hortons qui a brisé et j’obtiens le même résultat.

Wanted a Bunn for a while now and finally bought one. This thing brews fast. 3 minutes for a pot. Problem is with the basket design, it seems too small for the speed it pumps the water through the basket. Would constantly overflow even the Bunn filters. We solved that problem by buying a permanent stainless steel basket and haven't had a problem since. The coffee even tastes a bit better too. Overall pretty happy with it, we just need to figure out what brand of coffee to use now. :)
