Read all the negative reviews...
Let me start by saying I’m like most other people that seem to be looking to buy a Bunn coffee maker in that I’ve used them for years. My previous maker made it 6 years. (Manufactured in 2013 and went out 3 days ago) it probably would have lasted longer but I have very hard water, never filtered it, and never cleaned the maker, NEVER. After taking it apart to see if it could be fixed I had a very good view of what that hard water did to my coffee maker. This time I will be using filtered water and will be cleaning the maker once a month. Now, with all that said, I did read all or most of all the negative reviews and seen where people said
“The filter basket will overflow water and coffee grounds”-
“The coffee maker smelled like burning plastic for 2-3 days from initial use”-
“You can’t get the maker to make a strong enough cup of coffee”-
“The coffee temperature is not hot enough after it finishes brewing”
“Bunn coffee makers use to be great now they’re junk, don’t wast your money”
Now as far as all of the complaints above I’ve experienced none. I like real strong coffee so I fill the filter almost full of coffee(it’s strong trust me) it doesn’t overflow on me. It’s hot enough that if you pour a fresh cup and try and take a big drink you’re going to scald the inside of your mouth. No burning plastic smell at all. Completely brews a pot of coffee in 3 minutes. Oh yeah, I read where some said you have to fill up the water tank after every pot of coffee brewed or remember to turn off the water tank switch or you’ll burn up the heating element. That’s completely wrong because once you get enough water in the maker that the water begins to come out into the pot there’s always water in the tank unless you turn the maker upside down and drain it. I gave this Bunn 5 stars all the way across. My only and last question is how long will it last. If it goes out before 3 years I’ll let you know. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope it helped you out on your decision.
