BUNN GRB Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, Black

I’ve had my new BUNN coffee maker for a few days, and I love it. Brews a full pot fast, stays hot, and the coffee tastes great every time. Super simple to use, no fuss. My last BUNN lasted 10 years, so I came right back to the brand. Solid, reliable, and totally worth it.

The reason Bunn makes such a good cup of coffee is because the water is preheated and dispensed through the large spray head at a constant, optimal temperature. Our first velocity brew lasted around 7 years, and yes, ultimately developed a leak. We have a Mr Coffee, 10 cup in our RV, which I brought into the house while thinking about a replacement and we brewed 2 pots - with and without the 'strong brew' option, both brewed a similar strength coffee, but both slightly bitter, more decidedly with the 'strong brew' option which slows down the brew time.I haven't done scientific temperature measurement, but I understand the reason Bunn makes a better tasting cup of coffee. I'd like to have gotten more than 7 years out of our first velocity brew, but the price is reasonable for such great coffee.One downside is no automatic shutoff for the pot warmer. The fancy timer stuff is pretty useless on a Bunn because a full pot brews in 3-4 minutes. The other downside is they need to be turned off completely if you are not using it for more than a couple of days because the tank will run dry. This is definitely a coffee maker for those who brew at least daily.I did some research looking at other coffee makers, and there's lots of other machines out there, but the Bunn is hands down the best tasting coffee. Especially at this price level, I'm surprised Bunn is not consistently top rated. It does not have a clock, won't wake you up or allow you to start the brew cycle from your Bluetooth device, but it does make a smooth, delicious cup of hot coffee in a very short time.

I love the Bunn coffee makers, I have been buying them for 20 years. It’s the only coffee maker that I will buy. I drink a lot of coffee and can usually get 2 years use before having to get another one. I love that my coffee is done in 3 minutes. I recommend a Bunn to anyone who likes a good cup of hot coffee.

We are coffee drinkers - gotta have it first thing in the morning. After many years we got really tired of waiting 10-12 minutes for a pot of coffee to brew, and started looking around for one that could brew faster. We found reviews for the Bunn Velocity and decided to try it. Success! This baby makes a full 10-cup pot of hot coffee in 3 minutes flat, and partial pots even faster. I like my coffee strong and my hubby likes it medium (weak lol) so we each make ourselves about a half pot and it works out great. (we have extra carafes because this isn't out first Bunn) The flavor is good, not weak - guess this is because it keeps a reservoir of hot water at all times.It's easy to use once you **read the instructions**; just set the carafe on the warmer BEFORE you close the lid where you put the water in. And buy the Bunn brand filters - other brands are mostly not quite tall enough and can overflow. A few other reviewers mention the basket overflowing if the coffee is ground too fine but we've never had any issues with that; we've always just used regular medium roast ground coffee from the grocery.Cleaning any coffee maker can be a chore, but this one's not too labor intensive unless you need to deep clean it for storage. We have naturally soft tap water so it doesn't get much sediment buildup, but I still run the coil thingy through about once a month.This is our 4th one in about 15 years. After 5 years, our last one was still making coffee just fine, but the warmer plate switch quit working. This happened to our first one as well.Overall a great fast-brewing coffee maker. We will definitely keep buying them until Bunn (heaven forbid!) stops making them.

Works great, love it! Very easy to set up and makes great coffee in a short amount of time. Highly reccomend a Bunn.
