52700 CSB2G Speed Brew Elite Coffee Maker Gray, 10-Cup,Grey

Our Keurig lasted 10+ years, amazingly. But we were tired of its limitations and the expense of buying pods. The problem was that it met our needs in every other way. We are a day-shift and night-shift household, so there is no time that a full pot of coffee would be used. That also means setting up a pot the night before doesn’t work for us. That means we need something stupid-simple and quick for our separate morning coffee times. After having pod coffee for 10 years, we were ready to get back to really good coffee and willing to spend whatever it took to get it, but it HAD to be quick and easy. We found out that’s not an easy combination. I read and watched all the coffee snob opinions for a few months and considered all the machines they talked about. We have made coffee with various methods over the years before our schedules made the Keurig our preferred choice. We did pour-over and French press for years. We loved the coffee, but right now, we were not willing to sacrifice our need for fast coffee on work days. So we evaluated everything that would give us a decent upgrade in coffee quality (better than Keurig!) quickly. In the end, nothing compared to the Bunn’s speed. It looked possible to make a travel-mug-sized serving (4 cups) at a time (and it is). The water reservoir is heated and ready to go. We only have to plop in a filter and a couple of scoops of coffee, and pour the correct amount of water into the reservoir. Out comes great coffee immediately. Each of us dumps the used coffee/filter and rinses the pot after each use, so it’s always ready to go. No more pod coffee. This is much better, but it took some tweaking for me to get there. I started trying to use some cheap medium roast coffee that I had been using in the Keurig, and it was terrible and undrinkable in the Bunn. I switched brands, and it took me about a week to get the right amount of coffee to make the perfect cup. It was worth some time experimenting for me though, because now I get exactly what I like every time. I went to a finer grind espresso-type coffee, and now I get a smooth cup that is sufficiently strong. My husband, who likes a darker brew, was fine from the first cup using his Starbucks dark roast. I have made great iced coffees too. They are strong but not bitter using the same finely ground coffee. That was impossible with the Keurig. Other than coffee, my next favorite thing is making a gallon of iced tea at a time by running a whole pot of water over a gallon-sized tea bag. I can brew a whole pot of tea, add sweetener, and fill up the rest of the gallon with water, all in less than 5 minutes. We got the glass carafe because the reviews on most stainless steel carafes seem mediocre. We are happy with our choice. The glass pours perfectly without spilling a drop and performs better than anything I have ever poured before. It has a plastic piece that extends slightly beyond the spout to help guide the pour. The glass is as sturdy as regular glass can be, not particularly fragile, although we know chances are it will meet its demise by getting broken some day. Hopefully replacements are easy to get. We have each made the mistake of trying to use the heated plate, and both of us forgot to turn it off and baked our coffee in the pot. We learned our lesson — just don’t use it. With fresh coffee less just a minute away, there's really no need for it. We love the Bunn and feel like it’s the perfect machine for our household because of our crazy work hours. We get a very decent cup of coffee, super fast and easy. The coffee snob ideas were helpful, but in the end, speed won in our household.

Well made and easy to use coffee maker from Bunn. The versatile machine brews a fresh pot of coffee in just four minutes. The coffee maker has a warmer plate and an easy to pour lid. The brewer has a ten cup pot and can also make a 20 ounce travel mug brew. Great value for a superior coffee maker.

This is what I’ve spent decades looking for. A no-frills, idiot-proof (if you follow the one-time 10 minute setup process) well-designed coffee maker. No programming required, no timer, no clock, a semi-permanent tank heater switch (turn off when you leave for vacation) and a carafe hot plate switch that stays on until you turn it off, keeping your coffee left in the pot always hot. Ever had a power outage and your coffee maker loses all it’s programming features, leaving you frustrated with trying to remember what buttons to press to get everything back to your preferences? No more hassling with that anymore, as this is just a genuine nuts and bolt design that serves only one purpose, a super quick pot of flavorful hot coffee at just the right temperature. I drink coffee all day long and have done so for the last 40 plus years. I don’t care for Starbucks or any of that expensive fancy designer fluff. I prefer the old-timers Diner coffee served hot and black and this one delivers. Though I’m sure the coffee artists out there can satisfy their own taste buds to their delight. Currently, I use a 32 oz insulated coffee mug that keeps my coffee hot until it’s emptied. My only complaint is that this Bunn Coffee Carafe (pot) is only 50 oz, but that is easily compensated with the super-quick remake process. Just adding a scoop of coffee grounds (I only change the filter for the first morning cup) and fresh water, you have a full pot of hot coffee in only 3-4 minutes. There is an easy-to-read fill marker just under the fill lid but whatever amount of water is added (after the initial tank setup), that is the exact amount that fills back into the pot. The water reservoir always maintains 50 oz (full pot) of heated standby water at the ready and you can’t overfill or under fill. The control switch for a fresh pot to dispense is fixed on the lid of the water fill tank where a continuous electrical current keeps a full pot of hot water ready to go at all times. By closing the water fill lid, the process immediately begins. You only need to remember to turn the hot plate switch off when you retire for bed or had your last cup of the day. Though it was left on overnight once, it didn’t burn what little was left in the pot, it just needed a quick rinse and was ready to go. My lovely wife usually places a new filter with grounds and fills a pot of fresh water in the tank before bed, then flips the fill lid closed first thing in the morning. And while there is no “Sneak-a-Cup” feature, this machine makes a full pot so fast, you don’t need it! And it has never overcooked or boiled grounds back into the pot. I noticed one reviewer claiming such an experience but I don’t see how that is possible. This utilizes an angle spray feature that hits the lower sides of the filter always keeping all the grounds soaked and at the bottom. Having tried so many different coffee makers over the years with gimmicky programming features, a hot plate that automatically shuts off after 2-4 hours, I’ve at long last found the perfect solution with this Bunn unit. And the bonus is that this is made in the good ole USA with a factory 3 year warranty. That alone should stand as the critical selling point today. If this one holds up beyond the warranty period and fulfills the only requirement that I ask, it’s a sold 5-star rating for me! Perhaps a little on the pricey end, but at least my money isn’t going to an enemy nation who seeks our destruction!

After working in restaurants for years, I found this Bunn to be the best restaurant quality countertop coffee maker that I have ever tried. With the reservoir of water that always stays hot, it is the fastest brew around! It’s quick and easy to set up and have your coffee within three minutes, and the taste and temperature is always perfect. It’s easy to clean and it looks beautiful on my kitchen counter! Highly recommend!

This coffee maker has mostly positive qualities and just one negative. The look of the machine is nice and it’s well made. The coffee brews very fast and since the water in the reserve is always hot, it does brew in the four minutes as advertised. The fast brew makes a timer unnecessary since even if you have the water in and the coffee ready, it’s obviously not a long wait like other machines. The brewed coffee tastes MUCH better than my last machine that took over fifteen minutes to brew 12 cups. The coffee from the Bunn doesn’t have that strong acidic flavor of coffee brewed in other machines. However, the one big drawback is this machine uses twice the coffee, so be prepared to go through ground coffee very fast. At first I wasn’t sure if I liked that but the coffee flavor is so much better that it’s worth it. Overall I’m really happy with it and would definitely buy again.

I wanted a nice coffee maker. Your coffee doesn’t taste like plastic. The 3rd time I used this machine the drip part broke. I was really disappointed

The Bunn coffee maker truly delivers a professional brewing experience. It's fast, reliable, and consistently makes great-tasting coffee. The build quality is excellent—sturdy and clearly designed for long-term use. Ideal for anyone who takes their coffee seriously and wants a machine that performs like a pro. Highly recommended!

We wanted a Bunn coffee maker specifically for the hot water tank, it just makes coffee so much faster. This is well built machine with no fancy bells or whistles, but it works well. The only switches/buttons you have are 1 for the hot plate (which we prefer over the carafe) and 1 switch for the hot water tank. We turn the hot water tank off when we are going to be away for an extended time. Also the price was great, a lot cheaper then anyone locally. Probably would not recommend if you don't drink coffee daily as there is no point in keeping the water hot for that long, you will loose some to evaporation. If you are a pot (or 2) a day, you will definitely benefit from it.

If this Bunn coffee maker lasts half as long as my last one, then I will be very Happy. I purchased A Burn Coffee maker back in the mid 1990s and it has made perfect Coffee for me every day since, It only recently stopped heating up so had to be replaced. this new one works just as well, so I hope to have it for a long time as well Thanks Gary

Is the coffee maker expensive? Yes, but the quality of coffee is amazing. I no longer have an urge to purchase Tim’s or McDonald’s’s. The construction of the machine is ok. A lot of plastic. The speed it brews is incredible. Feels like alluring except way better coffee.

Works well. Makes a very fast pot. EDIT The new warmer switch has a very small dim blue light. It is not obvious when it is on and has been left on for extended times as a result. Bunn should really address this as it is a safety issue.
