VP17-1SS Pourover Coffee Brewer (13300.0001)

Get a commercial Bunn,VP17-1 SS. $398 BUT they last forever and have no plastic parts inside!

Bunn VP-17. The last coffee maker you'll ever need to own.

You know what, I’m totally wrong. Well atleast for normal purchases. Looks like I just got lucky with an old one with a metal tank. Same as the Bunn VP17s, if you get an old enough one it’ll be all metal. Guess it’s doable but harder to find/confirm before throwing down a couple hundred

Unfortunately theyre now $400 (I paid $185 10 years ago) but I absolutely swear by the basic commercial grade BUNN-O-MATIC pour over. Infinitely serviceable, ll 1 2 cup capacity, and built like a tank. My issue with cheap Mr Coffee (or home grade BUNN) is that they never really get the water hot enough. Not true with a commercial pour over. And if you really want to be lazy you get get the pre measured bags of coffee like they use in convenience stores and restaurants.

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.

FWIW the commercial equipment like the Bunn VPR has the option of turning the hotplate on or not. The internal heating element in the tank doesn't care. Fairly cheap on power once hot, you can adjust the top end cutoff for temperature, and not too crazy for prices (about 800 CAD). Few bucks more if you want the version that's directly connected to your water under the sink.

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