Product Description

, Waring MX1000 Professional 3.0 -Horsepower Blender , KitchenAid 5-Speed Blender , Margaritaville DM900 Battery-Powered Frozen-Concoction Maker ,Magic Bullet 7921 Platinum Pro 20-Piece Set, Stainless Steel ,Nesco American Harvest FD-1020 Gardenmaster 1000-Watt Digital Food Dehydrator Review "Versatile" and "sturdy" aptly describe this well-designed appliance. Once the tank is filled and preheated to brewing temperature (in about 15 minutes), the Pour-Omatic immediately begins brewing coffee whenever more water (2-cup minimum) is added. So you're never more than three minutes away from a fresh cup of coffee. Holds brewed coffee indefinitely at the perfect temperature for drinking, or you can use the preheated water for tea or other beverages. The brewing funnel fits easily into positioning slots that suspend it securely over the 6-cup glass decanter, as does the hot-water funnel. Also included are two large packages of Bunn drip filters, a spring for deliming the drip mechanism, and a clearly written, illustrated instruction booklet to help you get the best performance from this appliance. --Toni Reineke


This review is from: Bunn A10 Pour-O-Matic Coffee Brewer (Kitchen)
I work for a coffee company and these are the machines we use in office and for our commercial customers. Yes, it's rather prehistoric in design, and yes, it's more expensive than those other brands, but if you don't care what it looks like, you're gonna get some amazing coffee out of this beast for a long, long time. :D

I've had to replace my coffee makers nearly annually in the past and I finally got the Bunn A10 in despair because I get perfect coffee every day at work. (It's shameful for someone who works at a coffee company to have poor brews at home!) I see a couple complaints that repair parts are hard to get. For this model, they are not. Bunn's site is a little .. lacking in consumer friendliness, but a phone call to them will likely solve your problem. As well there are more than a couple distributors of Bunn parts on the net. I second the recommendation that you use Bunn A10 filters with this unit. They just work better. When you get this unit, do not turn it on until you have filled it with water or you will burn out your heating element. After that, no muss, no fuss.

The best thing about this machine aside from the deliciousness of your coffee, is that there's hot water at the ready any moment of any day. This is awesome for cooking, making a quick cup of tea or hot chocolate, mop bucket water, killing ants without poison, pretty much anything you might need instant hot water for. Tip from a coffee company: use two filter baskets if you're going to experiment with flavored coffees. Maintain one of them for flavored coffee only and you'll never have flavor-tainted unflavored coffee.
