Speed Brew Classic (BX-B)

Hear me out, get a Bunn Speedbrew Classic . You don't need a timer when your whole pot is done in 3 minutes. I've had mine for 15 years. https://retail.bunn.com/38300.0066

I personally like Bunn coffee makers if it gets used regularly. It has two switches; one on the front for the hot plate and one on the back to turn the whole thing off if you're not using it for like a week or more. Pull the coffee basket, add a paper filter (reusable filters work well and are cheap too), and then add ground coffee. Add water to the top and close the lid. Coffee is done in ~3 minutes. A lot of people use the coffee carafe itself to fill the machine with water. However, I prefer to use a pitcher so that I'm not dumping anything but clean water into the machine itself. Just to note, the switch on the back is usually referred to as a vacation switch. The machine keeps a whole pots worth of water heated, so when you add in the next batch of water, it has very little effort to heat the existing water to temp and then it is replaced by the fresh water. And yes, you can do half pots of coffee. Just add half quantities of water and coffee and brew normally. They're not cheap, but they work well. [This one](https://retail.bunn.com/38300.0063) comes with a 3 year warranty, and the only thing that would fail (after a many, many years) is the high limit switches/fuses. Anyone who can handle a screwdriver, pliers, and basic directions can replace those for like $15. I've had that happen to two units after about a decade of constant service. If you ever come across a "broken" Bunn, it'd be worth it to check them, you might get a nice coffee pot for $15 and 15 minutes of your time.

Came here to see and what is said about the Bunn … I have the bunn and thank goodness I’ll stick with it, Amazon wall plug and actually I have the one that looks straight from the diner, and then we don’t use the hot plate but pretty sure we have had it 15 plus years now, been in this house 18 years and I know we quickly went thru a few coffee makers before settling on this.

We have a BUNN BX Speed Brew Classic  (about $125) at the office and it's been brewing 5 days a week for 15 years now. Doesn't get cleaned often or treated nicely by the 15+ people using it, but it still makes fine coffee. One button to operate.

Bunn is diner. Grandparents had them. Mom sold hers and really regretted it. Great quality. Great coffee. You may need to replace a heat element down the road. Some you run water to and never fill. Last you’ll ever need. Brilliant more commercial quality.

I picked up a Bunn BTX-B for $25 on Craigslist. It brews amazing coffee and has worked great for the 6+ years I’ve had it.  I only put RO water in, and have never descaled. I probably should, but I don’t think I will. 

Yup. Pourovers are done at home, but I have a Bunn BTX at the office. I still need a scale to weigh my beans and grinder to grind fresh though. 

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.
