BUNNCSB2B Speed Brew Elite 10-Cup Coffee Maker, Black/SST

I purchased this Bunn coffee maker for 3 reasons: 1. It has a metal reservoir. 2. It brews quickly (we are a caff/decaf mixed household so it allows separate brews in the morning) and 3. It is made in the USA. If your motivations align with the above, you will be happy with your purchase as those pros outweigh the negatives, all of which stem from any prior experience you’ve had with a typical drip coffee maker.The design of the filter basket is why the brew cycle is shorter. Rather than the typical gasket/spring arrangement, the Bunn basket has a simple hole that allows the water to filter through the basket quickly. This not only speeds up the process, but because the grinds are not swimming in water for any length of time, I noticed that the coffee is less bitter and I could almost go without my normal cream. HOWEVER, it does require that you use a fine grind coffee and you actually use a tablespoon for each cup of water. Essentially, I had to upgrade my coffee and double the amount that I use. I also found that the decaf coffee was weaker than the regular coffee even with using the full recommended number of Tablespoons. I was able to equalize it by using 2 coffee filters to slightly slow down the drip without adding bitterness, and yes, use the Bunn filters. They are just a bit taller.Some people objected to the water heater running when not in use. I compromise and turn the water heater off after all the morning coffees have been brewed and turn it on again in the evening when I would normally be setting up my older auto brew drip coffee maker.The set up is clear in the “quick” set up instruction, regular instructions, and taped warnings on the unit itself to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before you plug it in. The water reservoir needs to be filled completely before you plug it in.The pour spout on the carafe is a bit odd looking, but it works, so not an issue.All in all I am satisfied with this coffee maker. With the correct grinds, it produces hot, smooth coffee and it looks good on the counter😊

Absolutely in love w this coffee maker!! It's sleek looking, super quiet, crazy fast, easy to use, easy to clean, makes excellent coffee, & I am ecstatic w this find. Worth every penny! A must have!

We love our coffee! When I want coffee, I want it now, not 30 minutes from now. We bought our first Bunn about 30 years ago and loved it. We have had one ever since! I have found that they last between 8 and 14 years, so a great dependable product. This is our 4th I believe. A pot of coffee takes about 2 minutes. We measure the amount of coffee and the amount of water fairly precisely, and every cup is perfect. You can make a full pot or scale it back to about 4 cups. If you try to make just 1 or 2 cups there is a little inconsistency due to the amount of evaporation that occurs in keeping the water hot continuously. I will remind you to turn off both switches if you are going out of town or not making coffee for a week or more. The Bunn will keep the water hot and as it gradually evaporates it can get low enough to cause the element to fail. Cleaning is not difficult and for us is done about twice a year. I have never used a timer because our schedule rarely is predictable. Thank you Bunn!

For those who prioritize supporting American manufacturing while enjoying a superb coffee experience, the Bunn Speed Brew hits all the right notes. It's a durable, reliable machine that will have you savoring your coffee, faster.

I’ve had this coffee maker for a few months now and it has worked great so far. I like how quick brewing a cup takes. It seems to be of good quality. It’s not hard to clean, and the coffee isn’t too strong or light. I would just advise you to turn the warmer off when you are done so the coffee doesn’t bake into a solid mess. I’d like if this coffee maker had a quick stop for the water, because sometimes it may be easy to put the lid down before the carafe goes in. Other than that, I am satisfied with it.

People who don't like this Bunn don't understand the nature of the beast.• Bunns aren't designed with people who prefer to unplug their coffee pots between uses in mind. To get its speed you have to leave it plugged in.• To keep it running smoothly, you have to clean it religiously (once a month for us).• The best parts (the stainless steel tank) are on the inside. The outside is just pretty.I'm about to pass my 10 year old Bunn on to my 3rd borne and his wife. They are thrilled for a reason. These coffee pots last if you do your part in caring for them.I bought this one a few months ago and am largely happy with it. The reason for the 4 star instead of 5? My only complaint with it is that water evaporates more quickly in this one. I've always added more water to the tank than what I wanted from a single pot. But with this one that margin is greater. I suspect it is a design flaw.Even with that complaint, it is still the best coffee maker on the market.
