BUNN Velocity Brew 10-Cup Coffee Brewer

We had a BUNN at work and I wanted one at home. If you are familiar with BUNN you probably understand why and that’s why you’re looking at these. Thus far it has performed well. The cup capacity is just right for us – two people can get two large mugs of coffee each per brew. I bought the plastic pitcher that is offered for filling the tank but truthfully you don’t need it. Setup is easy IMO, just follow the directions or there is a video you can watch but we didn’t need it. The directions are clear and adequate. It is FAST! It brews a pot in about 3 minutes and the coffee is hot and it brings out the full rich taste and smells divine. It does not have an auto shut off so you do need to be mindful of that because it keeps whatever is left in the pot hot all day until you do turn it off. You can’t program it to wake you to the smell of coffee but we just set it up the night before, fill the carafe with water just as any other and in the morning pour, push the button and you are ready before you can say Bob’s your uncle, or as I said, 3 minutes. I also bought the BUNN filters but we’ve been using the same ones from our previous coffee maker until they are gone and have had no issues with them. I have not emptied the water tank and given it an overall cleaning. I will need an assistant to lift it though I do not anticipate a problem. It doesn’t say how often to do that but I generally cleaned my others every 2 months so it’s not time yet. There is nothing to make it look intimidating. Husband really likes it. It’s a little on the pricey side but that was not a surprise. It’s probably the basic model of BUNN but we are both happy with the performance and look forward to enjoying it for hopefully more than a year or two as has been the case with some of our other coffee makers.

This is the 4th one we’ve had. Each one lasted years beyond the warranty. Keeps water at brewing temperature at all times, ready to brew. No waiting. Coffee ready in 4 or 5 min. after adding the water and closing the lid. No fancy controls or timers. Product of the U.S.A.

Really happy with my new bunn, like new Design of the coffee pot, No spills, Makes great coffee. Bunn coffee Maker are the best…….

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.

First of all, this produces excellent, restaurant style coffee. In the end that’s really all that matters, and why I’m giving 5 stars.
With that said, I find the design strange and the machine is rather fiddley. The machine has an internal water tank that needs takes 15 minutes to warm up before brewing. Unless you’re willing to leave it always on, even if you’re asleep or away from home, that means it realistically takes 20 min to brew a pot. When you do brew, you pour cold water in the top, close the lid, and the hot water rushes out brewing a pot rather quickly… and sometimes overflowing. It helps to use coarse ground coffee and keep it loose without packing it. I wind up standing near it to open the lid to stop the brewing if it starts to spill over. Supposedly you can contact them and get a different brew head.
