Bunn - ICB Twin SH Soft Heat Platinum Edition

Bunns are great because they control temp very well. Truly. If you can get a restaurant one in good working order you’re set.

Mocca-Master. or the Ratio Six. The coffee is so consistent it’s boring. Also any of the industrial Bunn batch brewers…they’re so good and so pricey.

These are absolutely rock solid and I’m a huge coffee snob. Personally I’m gonna rock the commercial grade Bunn and sink $ into a new grinder but good stuff

I second this. Always look to the commercial products. Simple, less buttons and less electronic circuitry to short and fail. Our Bunn at my 24/7 workplace sees multiple pots per day over three shifts. Still going strong for the over 20 years I’ve been here.

Do you care how it looks? The commercial Bunn machines are pretty plastic free with the right accessories. Can find them for around $500 used. Will last forever.

This seems awfully fancy for “no frills”. We have a Bunn O Matic commercial that will outlive me. Only downside is that they are always on, so if you don’t put a timer on it you will use a lot of electricity. Upside is that you can even plumb in the fresh water supply if you like.

Don’t buy a commercial Bunn for your house. Not only are they big and gargantuan, they stay on 24 hours keeping the water hot so it can brew a pot in a couple minutes. They’re designed for businesses brewing coffee all day. You can turn it on and off, but they’re not designed for that and you’re going to kill it because they’re not designed to be turned on and off. And commercial products, your warranty is immediately void if you’re using it in a residential setting and not in a commercial setting.

Yes! I went through two Bunns over the years. They are fast and reliable machines and last forever. (Unfortunately, both of mine got farmed OVERNIGHT by tiny ants when it got cold out.)

My husband got me hookes on a BUNN coffee maker. Imo it makes a really good cup of coffee and is comparable to my French press that we use when the power goes out.

Not exactly cheap but I would get a Bunn. They are amazing, simple to use and built to last. They really only 2 buttons and one stays on. The other is the hot plate.
