Bunn - Speed Brew Platinum

We’ve had our Bunn 12-cup brewer for about 5 years & it works great. My favorite thing about it is that it keeps a reservoir of hot water, so it starts brewing immediately when filled. Brews 12 cups in ~3 mins.

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.

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.

No experience with the brands you referenced. But I’ll always suggest a Bunn drip coffee maker.

I sense the general consensus will be Moccamaster. And based on reviews, I can't disagree. But I have two concerns about them. First is the price ($350+), and the other is the height. Most kitchens are going to have upper cabinets, and to me, it would require me pulling it out to pour water into it, and then push it back. Seems very inconvenient. FWIW, our go-to coffee maker has been the Bunn Speed Brew line of products.

Obviously the win goes to Moccamaster. And while I’ve never measured one, they look too tall to make them practical. Not to mention expensive. We’ve used Bunn for at least 30 years (not the same unit), and feel very comfortable recommending them.

Hear, Hear! Bunn Speedbrew makes a fantastic cuppa faster than any other I've used.

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.
