Bunn - Speed Brew Elite (CSB2B)

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.

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.)

The Breville Precision is excellent and is a jack of all trades that can do coffee a.million different ways. It would be an excellent choice. BUT, and hear me out on this one - consider a Bunn speed brew elite. I know, not 3rd wave approved but it works just like the commercial machines. It keeps 70 oz of water at 200 deg at all times. The water you pour into the tank displaces hot water from the tank onto the coffee. It doesn't drip and sputter or even dribble like boiler machines. The water hits the coffee in a streaming swirl. So here's the thing. It extracts significantly more that a pour over. My guess is that it acts more like a percolator than a drip machine because the basket fills with water over the top of the coffee and it is swirling. Fills my thermos with 30 oz of coffee in 2.5 minutes. It's excellent. And it also comes in a thermal carafe version. I got it at Kohl's on sale with another coupon and with $20 Kohl's cash for $93.

I like Bunn coffee machines. I bought one at a restaurant supply store. It's still making coffee somewhere :-)

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.

My biggest gripe about the Bunn machines is that it keeps the water constantly hot. I do not like that. I know they are rather efficient, but I dont like the idea of the heater running all the time. Ive had them at work, and they are awesome for big offices who drink lots of coffee. For one pot of coffee in the morning, its overkill for my use .

I’ve had really good luck with my 10 year old Bunn with a thermal carafe

We’ve owned our Bunn for about 20 years. I had to take it apart and replace a fuse once but I consider being able to do repairs still “buy it for life” It keeps the water at the appropriate temperature, like OPs machine. Takes up a lot less counter space.

for the price, can't beat a BUNN
