I've had this coffeemaker for 6 months now and no problems at all. A very nice taste cup of coffee and hot too. The only thing is that you have to wait 15 minutes for the water to warm up, but that's okay. If you want a great coffeemaker and cup of coffee then I would tell you to buy this one.
This is a replacement for a similar model I purchased in 2004. The only reason I think the original one died is due to the hard water in my area. Always have been very happy with these little guys. They blow away Mr. Coffee and all of the other plastic crap out there that look good but produce the worst coffee. I'm hoping this new Bunn lasts as long as the original
I originally bought my Bunn from Ebay, the first one I ever owned. It served me for about 3 years when it started to leak from the reservoir so I contacted Bunn customer service to order a new part only to be told that a recall had been made with the model I had. They provided a box for return shipping at their expense for a repair. A few days later I recieved a brand new coffee maker that was 4 years ago and I have never had a problem since.
I started using reverse osmosis filtered water and ever since I did I have never had to clean or de-lime the machine. I can say that ever since I started using this coffee maker I will never go back to your typical coffee maker. I'm a Bunn user for life now and the customer support is second to none. Only wish other manufacturers of any product backed their product as well as Bunn does!
We have been brewing with one of these coffee makers since the mid-90s and have only needed to replace it once. Actually, I we had bothered to contact Bunn online we probably would still be using the same model! After 10 years of loyal service it was leaking way too bad. We replaced it in 2005 with the GR-10 model and got a BX-B model when the need for two coffee makers arose! That's my problem! I took it camping and somehow lost the black plastic coffee basket! I will contact Parts & Service to see if I can get a replacement. Keep up the great work and the fantastic service!
Our first one lasted about 5 years and developed the dreaded leaking seal at the top of the tank, on mine it was the plastic around the opening into the tank from the cold water reservoir that cracked so an O'ring would'nt have fixed it. After seeing where it failed i realized it was probably due to moving the coffee maker around by grabbing the top rather than at the base. I was not able to get the required parts to fix it so i bought another one. Only this time we bought the model with the stainless carafe and it only lasted a couple of years and never did brew fast like the first one did. So my next one will be like this and i will make sure to move it around by grabbing the base and not the top so i dont create a leak by breaking the plastic ;)
I have had 2 of these machines and they will not even last 1 year. After 8-10 months they just leak like crazy from the overflow holes and I spend most of my time cleaning up the water off the counter top. I have cleaned it regularly and use only filtered water in it and still it just LEAKS When it was new I loved the 3 minute coffee and it was always hot but now water everywhere and the tank is rusting internally. I wish I could just get a GOOD QUALITY machine. I thought spending more money meant getting a quality product.
This is only my second Bunn and have been using this model for 30+ yrs. Mine just started leaking a bit, but with new gasket it will be fine. BEST COFFEE POT IN THE WORLD & ONLY ONE THAT IS READY IN 3 MINUTES. Cannot deal with other pots, no matter the brand or how expensive they are. Our coffee is always the best tasting and is always ready in 3 minutes or less. LOVE THIS PRODUCT NOW & FOREVER!
Coffee maker is used on a daily basis. Came with a 3 year warranty. This is the 3rd Bunn coffeemaker I have owned. This one is now 5 years old. Previous ones usually lasted about 5 years or so, then the water tank would develop a leaking seal. I use it to make coffee, and also just to get hot water to make tea or instant hot cocoa. I love the Bunn coffeemakers because they brew a full pot of coffee (or hot water) in less than 3 minutes. The only think I do not like about them, and did not rate it as 5 stars, is that they tend to develop a leaking gasket after about 5 years (I would expect a $100 coffee maker to last longer than 5 years).
Had a problem with the seal & received a replacement when I complied to the required answers & return of the old one. No problem with the replacement for a year now.
Good coffee maker. Quality over the years has gone down. The last 3 I've owned I can't get much over a year out of them. The one I'm using now leaks from the top tank when its brewing coffee. I took it apart and the seal is bad and the top of the stainless steel tank is rusted.
Place 4 family size tea bags(for a gallon pitcher of tea) flat in the basket add water just like you was making a pot of coffee. Hot tea in 3-4 minutes then add sugar right after you brew it if you want sweet tea. Just make sure you rinse the basket and pot out before you make the tea.
Why can't we order replacement parts? My Bunn just needs a simple gasket/o-ring to be fixed and all I can find is part lists for commercial products on the web site. I love my Bunn coffee maker and wouldn't trade it for any other brand. I just don't see the concept of spending $100+ for a new machine when the part I need is probably only about $1-2. I understand most people just toss them in the trash and go buy a new unit. No doubt these are the best coffee makers/brewers in the world! I have traveled the globe and usually can't wait to get back home to my Bunn coffee maker. When we go camping or traveling it gets packed in our vehicle/luggage before my suitcase. It has been to more states and campgrounds then most people. Buy only fresh whole beans and grind them to suit your taste for the best coffee on the planet. (Starbucks House Blend)
I love my Bunn coffeemaker, it is very fast, works great, dependable and brews a great cup of coffee and tea. I use it several times daily. I will definitely purchase an other if something happens to this one. This is my third Bunn in 45 years.
The best coffee maker on the planet maybe in the universe. Ten cups of coffee in 3-4 minutes, the best thing to happen to mornings since sunrise. You also have the best customer service and product support arouind. Will never own any other machine.

My first purchase when I bought my house was a Bunn coffee maker,it lasted ten years,we went several different brands over the next few years before my wife got me a BX-B coffee maker for Christmas several years back. I shan't ever buy any other brand again
We sent back our Capresso and our Cuisinart grinder/brewers due to not hot enough coffee. We then tried a Zojurushi maker only and sent it back- yep- not hot enough. We are now ready to try our Technivorm maker to see if it is hot enough. It does not even have a program.
I also wanted to comment on the Composting article. When the compost is brewing, it grows warm, then hot. When the compost is ready to use, there are small worms that make what becomes the true compost- worm excrement. It is uniform reddish-brown, soft, no lumps and totally useful. At the time the wroms arrive there is no smell, and all is calm and warm in the compost pile. More like two years than two months as stated in the article.

Great coffe! It did break after 2+ years and BUNN sent a new one, no questions asked. Great service!

The plastic container that you poor water in will deterate and water will leak out before it makes it to the water tank.
