Bunn BT10B 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: NONE
Cons: RECALL, RECALL

This model manufactured between February 5 2001 to May 17, 2004 has been recalled, as well as, models B-10B, B10-W, GR10-B, and GR10-W. Models recalled due to electrical arcing may occur and cause the plastic pour-in bowl in the machine to melt and ...

Pros: Simple to use, consistently great tasting pots of coffee.
Cons: Basket must not be overfilled with coffee grounds.

We bought our Bunn BT10B Coffee Maker on the advice of my mother and two of her good friends who have Bunn Coffee Makers. The salesperson in the store where we bought it says she has had her Bunn "for years" and says she would "never have another brand". ...

Pros: Bunn brewing speed, Bunn reliability, all-metal carafe.
Cons: carafe not efficient in retaining heat, dribbles like crazy, splashy pour screen

This is my third Bunn over the past 20 years. Nothing was wrong with my last one, which I gave to my sister. I'll admit that at times I would forget the warmer was on and would come back to that stinky, smelly gunk cooked in the bottom of the carafe. ...

Pros: Sleek look, quick brew
Cons: Huge amount of counter space, strange tasting coffee, lot's of overflows, leaky pouring

I bought my very first Bunn back in the day when they first offered home brewers. I loved that now archaic piece of home technology! Fast, great coffee and it lasted for 8 years! Economy at the time would not allow for a Bunn replacement, but when ...

Pros: Coffee doesn't burn when left on the warmer because there is no warmer.
Cons: Have to heat the carafe first. Even with pre-heating, coffee doesn't stay hot long.

I have used Bunn coffee makers for over 20 years and love the speed and taste, but the warming pad always cooked the coffee too fast. I purchased the Bunn BT10B so I would have fresh, hot coffee all morning. You have to heat the carafe first or the ...

Pros: Full pot of coffee in 3 minutes, CUSTOMER SERVICE, thermal carafe keeps coffee tasting fresh
Cons: See other review

I reviewed this coffee maker under the name "fraidycatflyer" a few years ago.  Can't seem to access my old account, so am updating through a new review.  Currently, we have the same coffee maker and because of our 2nd experience with Bunn's ...

Pros: Fast, drip coffee
Cons: Insulated carafe dribbles...every time.

I wanted coffee fast. The BT10 delivers. 3 minutes from a dead stop. Fabulous. I wanted readily-available, inexpensive filters so I can empty them into the trash easily and neatly. No problem. I wanted fairly strong coffee. Almost. It's not as ...

Pros: Great coffee; great customer support!
Cons: Leaking carafes are driving us batty!!

Bunn has great customer support; been with them for years -- but I believe there must be a design flaw with the B10 thermal carafe. If so, it needs to be addressed. We've had our BT10 for about two years and loved it from the first day we plugged it ...

Pros: We like the idea of coffee in 3 minutes. The coffee makers look nice.
Cons: carafe leaks - the second time with recall -customer service no reply

We recently purchased this coffee maker as our previous one was a recall and after sending it in and getting it repaired- it leaked water out of the bottom. Our new purchase was always leaking and dribbling lots out of the carafe when pouring the first ...

Pros: Quick, produces great coffee, durable, Thermal carafe really keeps coffee hot
Cons: Inability to vary brew sizes, large countertop foot-print

While this maker operates a little bit differently than do others, its idiosyncrasies are really its strengths. An internal reservoir keeps brew times minimal, (3 minutes) the water that is poured into it actually becomes the heated water used for the ...

Pros: Hot coffee-3 minutes!!!
Cons: Uses the Bunn filters or you get grounds in the coffee!

My mother owns this coffee maker. I love it. I would buy one myself but I can't afford it. But it is definatly worth the price for anyone looking for a good coffee maker. This makes a perfect pot of hot coffee in about 3 minutes. It stays hot in the pot for about and hour. Very easy to use.

Pros: Brews hot, fast, and flavorful. Easy clean pot. Lack of buttons and switches.
Cons: Price, Size, uses Bunn filters (full pots). No clock timer (if important to you).

This is a great coffee maker. It brews a full 10 cups in about 3-4 minutes. The thermal carafe is the nicest thermal I've ever seen - very easy to clean with it's large opening. The coffee brews really hot, so it stays hotter longer in the carafe.

There is no brew timer or clock. There's not even a start brew switch. All you do is add the water to the basin, and close the lid, and it starts brewing.

If you make a lot of 4 cup pots (minimum allowed), I suggest you contact BUNN and have them send you a free "flow restricter." It slows the brew down a little bit to make the smaller pots a little more hearty.

All-in-all this is a great machine for the heavy duty coffee consumer. If you only have coffee a few times a week, you might want a different pot, as this one keeps the basin at brew temp 24 hours a day.

Pros: Damn good at coffee.
Cons: Tall, Instructions must be followed. Always on. No soft water.

I've spent too much money on dismal carafe coffee makers like MR. Coffee. It was time for a change.

Carafe coffee makers will not leave a burnt coffee taste.

The pot works well, but READ the directions. The lid is a valve to start the brewing, so don't close it early.

Grind the coffee to a medium (or medium fine for me) grind and use enough coffee in the machine. I like strong coffee, so I grind 2 sets of beans, as the machine directions are for average tastes. Does French roast nicely. This coffee maker is all about good coffee.

Can't fit all the Pros and Cons
Carafe does not spill when pouring (not a dribble glass design).
Always on with hot water (always ready).
> 3 minute to brew.
Does not burn coffee.
Damn good at coffee.
Made Right, unlike some makers, the Bunn has no controls under the pot that get water inside.

Pay attention to directions. I'd avoid other coffee maker brands, the BT-10B is the one you want.

Pros: best coffee ever, commercial quality construction, NO DESIGN FLAWS, well thought out and works
Cons: setup process must be followed precisely

First off this is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a product review. I've been drinking coffee for 30 years and have never had home brew even close to this good. Folks, this is the best.

Beyond the coffee, I tend to be critical when as an end user I find design flaws that should have been caught prior to production. This machine has none.

Every coffeemaker I've owned in the past either: dribbled when poured, made warm coffee, scorched coffee when left on heating pad, had condensation that dripped where it shouldn't when you open the water chamber lid, were made of cheap plastic with weak hinges, had easily broken pots, were difficult to clean, etc. The designers of this machine solved each of these annoying problems.

BUY IT.

Pros: Fast, hot , tasty coffee from a quality machine
Cons: Nada

I've never been inspired to write a product review before, but after buying this Bunn I thought it was time.

First off, let me say I am not a coffee expert. I have about three cups a day, 6 days a week. This maker makes the best coffee we've ever had. My wife, who is more of a coffeeologist, swears this makes the best. I get up about a hour to an hour and a half before she does. I make a pot and it is still hot enough to drink when she gets up. It is typical Bunn quality with a great carafe that is dishwasher safe. The pot does not leak when pouring, and has a very good lid that does not move once it is locked on. Of course, the quick brewing doesn't hurt either.

If you like and want a fast, good tasting cup of coffee, this is the maker for you.
