Speed Brew Classic Thermal Coffee Maker

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. 

EDIT to clarify: I have a v60. My husband and I drink very different beans, and he'd prefer an automatic single cup or tiny pot ​coffee maker like this. However, comments have some good ideas to consider. Just wanted to clarify ​: TLDR After a few years, **the Bunn MyCafe coffee maker forcefully ejects the little drawer with hot coffee grounds, causing it to fly across the room** \- almost hitting my baby or kids. Delicious coffee is not worth this risk. Is there another single cup brewer option that isn't K Cup? I first got a Bunn MyCafe circa 2015 after seeing the love for Bunn here. It did brew a killer single cup of drip coffee, using my grounds and no annoying K-Cups or pods. However, after 3 years it started ejecting the drawer of hot coffee grounds across the kitchen, almost hitting my baby. Bunn said it was odd, and replaced our machine. When it happened with the replacement, we ditched it. Bunn paused production, so we figured they fixed the problem. When MyCafe was back in production we ordered a new one (2 years ago). Despite cleaning and maintaining / descaling regularly, it's started ejecting the hot coffee drawer again. (See photos) We contacted Bunn, and they said we need to clean our screen in the drawer. (We do.) They sent us a new screen but it still does this. I can't believe the company is comfortable selling a machine that will begin to do such a dangerous thing after a few years of daily use. It seems unsafe, unconscionable, and certainly NOT BIFL. I do pourover, but others in my family do not. I'm hoping to find a single cup brewer that is safer than this Bunn mess.

We have had numerous coffee makers that have been mentioned…finally gave up on cool esthetic machines and bought a BUNN BT Speed Brew 10-Cup with the thermal carafe. Makes an excellent, hot cup. Bunn offers an excellent warranty as well if you register the product.

I had a Bunn Speed Brew, and it was finicky and incredibly hard to keep clean. Sure, it made a fast pot, but the coffee was mediocre, in my opinion.

Bunn Speed Brew for the win!

Bunn Rapid Brew, most reliable, consistent and brews a 2 to 10 cups quickly.

I started with an inexpensive Mr Coffee machine, just in case I wasn't going to be a coffee-lovin' exmo. 😆 I graduated to a Bunn Speed Brew coffeemaker with an internal reservoir and love it! I also have a subscription to Lifeboost coffee. It is low acid and easier on my digestive system.

I have the bunn speedbrew. It’s always on. Add grounds, add water, close lid. Make sure the carafe is in place because it’s already making coffee. It does not make *great* coffee like the moccamaster. But if you buy bulk or semi-bulk coffee, you probably don’t need that. I run a variety of heb grounds through mine successfully.
