THIS WAS A GOOD BUY. CAME FAST. HOWEVER, HALF WAY THROUGH EACH BUNDLE OF FILTERS THEY ARE CUT WRONG CAUSING YOU TO THROW THEM AWAY. THE PRICE IS RIGHT YOU JUST HAVE A NUISCANCE OF MAKING SURE THE FILTERS ARE WHOLE AND NOT CUT WRONG OR WADDED UP.
We've had average kitchen Bunn coffeemakers over the years, and thought we liked their performance.This one blows them all away!
ITEM DELIVERED IN A TIMELY FASHION. UNFORTUNATELY, ITEM WAS NOT WHAT I NEEDED. WE OWN A BUNN COFFEE MAKER. THE FILTER HOLDER IS TALL AND THE FILTERS ARE NOT. WE ARE IN IRAQ AND DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF GOING TO THE STORE AND PURCHASING WHAT WE NEED.
I use this warmer daily. It's especially handy when there are a great many people around. It seems to keep coffee hotter than the warmer that's fixed to the coffee maker.
After buying a succession of cheap coffee makers which broke down after a year or two and made mediocre coffee, I decided to upgrade to Cuisinart.
Perhaps like you, I once thought a filter is a filter; however, when I used the discount version, it was not quite tall enough and sometimes grounds would find their way into my coffee.The discount version was not as efficient, either, in filtering the coffee.Then I searched and searched the Internet for the best price on Bunn filters.Would you believe I found one site who charged $9.99 for one packet of 100 filters?Yes, I did.So you do the math:12 x 100 = 1200 filters for a fraction of the per item price, delivered to my door. We are absolutely happy and satisfied with this purchase.
I can't imagine why we waited so long to have this wonderful thing; it's the first thermos we've had that keeps coffee truly, truly hot for hours. It's easy to use, easy to clean (though I wouldn't imagine you could ever get the coffee taste out to, for example, fill it with hot water for tea) and we love it.
This is a replacement for my old Cuisinart coffee maker which I had for about six years or so (the predecessor to this model). I loved my old one even with some of the little quirks it had. It beat out any Braun or Krupp pot which I had ever owned. This new updated model is a winner. All of the small annoyances have been solved, such as the small fill tank opening, the dripping cover that leaked back into the fill tank, and finally, thank you Cuisinart people, a water level guide on the outside of the unit. The front knobs on the front are now also easier to see and use. As my other Cuisinart did, it brews superior coffee and quickly. I find it takes about one minute per cup... 12 minutes for twelve cups, not bad at all. Yes, the unit does make some clicking and popping noises when it is new, so did my old one. But that goes away in time as the unit gets "broken in". I do not think you can find a better coffee maker on the market.
Yes its not cheap. I ordered this for my dad's cabin - he's at 9,000 feet. Only way to get coffee hot. I've also used it at 7,000 feet elevation and it works well there also - far better than just your standard coffee maker (if you live in Colorado, this is sad but true).
I purchased two of these decanters for my church. They previously had the glass version, which broke shortly after the church purchased the Bunn Pouromatic a number of years ago. They had been using whatever replacement decanters they could get on sale at Walmart. I had a pretty good idea of what to expect when I bought this product after seeing them in virtually every restaurant I've worked or eaten in for my entire life. They arrived quickly and in good condition. A bit expensive, but if they are truly unbreakable, it should be worth it.
Great product. Keeps coffee hot for 10 hours easily. Nice to have hot coffee all day when desired. Shipping was prompt and immediate, but the price was the best. Great price for a great product. Purchased similar item on Ebay and was not pleased with price and after purchasing item, I found shipping charges of $17.00 in addition to price. This seller proccessed and shipped this item for the price of the ebay Airpot Stainless Steel Finish 3.0 LITER, without their shipping charges. I ordered on same day and this customer shipped and it arrived before the ebay seller even shipped item.
Our office finally pitched in and purchased this coffee maker, after years of going through leaky household-type coffee makers. We used to run two coffee makers all day long - probably eight pots per day each. Our new Bunn is faster and can keep up with our demand. Be aware that this Bunn VLPF does NOT include the two decanters pictured. Only when the box arrived, did the outside of the box mention "decanters not included." We've been using it for over a week now and so-far-so-good. I also purchased the extra 3-year warranty, just in case.
Dishwasher safe yet not for use with "Rinse Aid"... For the home user this makes for "Not really dishwasher safe" or at least it does for me. So I have used this pot every day for about a month and it has started a slow leak at the seam between the steel and plastic. This is the second Bunn plastic/steel decanter I have bought that leaks in this way. Poor design I guess.
THE BUNN COFFEE DECANTERS ARE GREAT! BUT...MY HAND DOES NOT FIT INTO THE OPENING TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE DECANTER!I AM SOAKING THEM IN A BAKING SODA SOLUTION BUT I REALLY LIKE TO SCRUB THEM.
I have been using this new BUNN My cafe for several weeks and I really like it.It keeps the water hot all the time so when your ready to make a cup of coffee or tea it's ready instantly. My wife likes tea and I drink coffee so the tea setting works great for her and the unit comes with two Pod holders so we make one for coffee and the other Tea. It's and expensive unit but really has a commercial quality look and feel.I would recommend this to the busy family always on the GO!!
When I left college, I managed restaurants that had outstanding coffee made with Bunn Brewers.Well, after buying this unit I will never use anything else!It's so much better than any other expensive brands I have owned.I'm sure it's attributed to the heat of the water coming from the pre-warmed tank and the spray head.
