Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was first attracted to this particular Bunn coffee maker because the logo is a subtle, embossed sign rather than the glaring BUNN logo glaring from the front of the machine. Aesthetics was important to me. The 'burning plastic' smell that was reported by some reviewers does not exist in this machine. Coffee tastes very good, and is made surprisingly fast. I have yet to get used to the speed. There's no pause feature necessary to pour mid-brew since it really is that fast. The double wall stainless steel carafe is excellent. It keeps coffee hot longer than the 2-1/2 hour product description states. I paid attention to the reviews that complained that coffee ended up all over the place and made a mess. I made sure to buy the Bunn coffee filters and the Bunn re-usable filter. So, absolutely no problems there. I gave it 4 stars since I've only had it for a short time. Will review again a year from now. I know I said '1 year', but decided to revisit my review of this machine. Almost 4 months later, I still have no complaints, especially none of the problems other reviewers have had. I still get very hot coffee, the thermal pot keeps it very hot for at least a few hours and hot enough for another few hours. If I'm desperate, the coffee is at least warm at the end of the day. :-) No plastic burning smell, and coffee grinds have NEVER overflowed and made a mess. Again, I stress that I use coffee filters especially for BUNN machines. I use premium coffee beans that I grind with a Capresso Burr grinder or ground coffee as the same brand of beans, if it makes a difference to anyone. ***Update again. Machine still performing very well. The only different thing I tried and it works, is to put a timer on the plug, since I really only make coffee once a day. When I have guests staying over, I just turn off the timer in case we need to make coffee throughout the day.
