BUNN BTX-B Thermo-Fresh 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Home Coffee Brewer, Black
Rating: 5 out of 5
Currently 5.0/5.0
I've had numerous coffee makers through the years and I've never had a better coffee maker than the Bunn brand coffee makers. The Bunn BTX-B model makes fresh coffee in about three or four minutes. Quality is comparable to the commercial coffee makers produced by Bunn.
Stainless steel carafe seals tightly and ensures the liquid stays hot and fresh. Best of all, the coffee doesn't have that day-old taste after setting on a burner because the insulated pot ensures the heat is evenly distributed. Coffee remains flavorful cup after cup. Regardless of the texture and brand of the coffee, the end results are always positive.
The only problem I've had with this model is how quickly the coffee maker begins dispensing after water is poured in the water compartment. Once the lid is snapped closed, the coffee begins brewing and if the carafe isn't properly placed, there's the potential for a mess.
I read the reviews before purchasing this particular Bunn model because I thought about buying a commercial coffee maker since we drink so much coffee throughout the day. One common complaint is that the coffee tastes weaker when it's brewed in this particular coffee maker. Aware of this possibility, I added three more tablespoons to the normal suggested coffee amounts based on servings desired and I've never had a problem. If anything, the coffee is stronger as it should be with added coffee grounds.
I enjoy using this product and really like the added feature of a hot water spray dispenser too. It's perfect for a quick cup of hot tea or hot chocolate. There's a three year warranty with the product but I doubt anyone will need it. This quality-driven coffee maker works double time at my house and we anticipate years of usage.
