The Bunn-O-Matic is a solid 5 star Coffee maker! Brief advice....Get One Today! There are few things in life within our control that deliver simple and satisfying pleasure. A perfectly brewed cup of coffee is one of those. I am not a coffee snob but,after my grandmother introduced me at the age of six,I've been drinking it. Probably every morning since 15. About 8 years ago after struggling with a few lesser brewers,it was recommended by a friend that I get a Bunn. Everyone has seen them but few are in homes. More so now than in the past. They are not cheap but,this is an investment. After purchasing, I set it up and anxiously awaited it to be ready to brew. This machine stays hot 24/7/365. So,after setting up it takes a few hours to come up to temp. That's the secret. They are always hot n ready. In addition they maintain a higher temperature than most countertop makers. This allows a pot to literally brew in minutes. I can't tell you how fantastic this machine is . I've had no problems and as I mentioned,I think mines 9 years old. You do have to unplug,drain and clean the interior of any mineral buildup but, easy peasy. In addition,if you're out of town it needs to be unplugged. Not only for safety but,the reservoir will evaporate over time leaving and empty container. Any maintenance is well worth the efficiency and flavor you get read more

This place is a joke! You buy something call the HQ for help and get passed around and eventually dropped. This is no longer a family run business. Bunn has been sold and the Bunn family are MIA. It was bad before but now that a global company has taken over it's going down the tubes. Anyone that works there needs to find another job they are walking people out daily. Bunn is a thing of the past and the Bunn family should be ashamed for selling this place. read more

If you have ever worked in a restaurant, you are probably familiar with the Bunn-O-Matic Coffee Maker. Until I worked in a restaurant I used to be content with my home coffee maker, and then I encountered one of these bad boys! The Bunn-O-Matic is coffee making on steroids. They are an absolute must for the restaurant industry, but a bit of overkill in my opinion for home use. These machines are made for keeping up with the crowds and through a reservoir of hot water the maintain they really reduce the time to make a pot of coffee or supply hot water for tea. Another reason you might not want one of these at home is the are big, like bigger than most people's counters can practically have on them. Another reason they might be overkill for home use is the cost. Some of their machines go up into the thousands and who needs all of that for their house? They do have several models to choose from and when purchasing a machine, it's level of productivity and hot storage are factors in the cost. When shopping for one of these, it is important to have a realistic gauge of what you particular need and usages are, so you do not over or under spend on the machine that is right for you. read more

Coffee makers from way back when!!! I recall these bring the ubiquitous office coffee machines of choice back in the 80s and 90s. For 67 years Bunn-O-Matic, or BUNN has "been at the forefront of dispensed beverage equipment manufactures." George R. Bunn designed his own versions of paper coffee filters, that had a flat bottom and fluted sides and pour-over drip coffee brewers. Good on George for designing these classic coffee filters! I can't recall a workplace breakroom without a BUNN! Part of my most recent office experience's end-of-day check was to ensure the BUNN was turned off and the carafes were rinsed. In all the restaurants, bars, and country clubs I worked, this was the MO when it came to side work involving cleaning the BUNN: 1. ensure the carafes were cool/room temperature. 2. pour a decent amount of salt in each carafe (maybe 1/4 cup in each one). 3. load each carafe with ice cubes. 4. add water to exceed the ice cubes. 5. swirl and swish each carafe around and you'll see the black coating dissolve away. 6. Rinse well. 7. You're done! I don't recall the process for when a carafe was left to just burn - ewww. The smell was not good! Decaf (aka "why bother") was always in the carafe with an orange handle. Thank you George Bunn and the five generations of Bunn family entrepreneurs for keeping America alert, caffeinated, and functioning! read more

Each cup is fast, hot, fresh, and I look forward to my coffee every morning! I did have 1 issue w/ the full pot & when I called customer service, they sent out a new seal. My brewer is 9 years old, and goings strong! read more

Bunn-O-Matic - Bunn brewers - Home & Garden Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

Warranty is not worth the paper it is printed on. Bought a new Bunn Axiom commercial 3 lower heater model new in Dec 2018. Once hooked up had burning odor for 3 weeks into mid January. Called Bunn Tech Support. They said something was wrong with machine. Tech Support said it is covered under warranty. Tech Support said call Bunn to schedule a Technician to check. Requested Bunn Tech. Bunn required a credit card to validate prior to Tech visit. Once credit card validated, Tech was dispatched. Tech arrived and said there is something wrong with the machine with this severe burning odor. Tech disassembled machine, wiped/cleaned inner parts. Reassembled. Odor gone. Bunn Company has never sent an invoice but charged my credit card $204.00. Bunn initially said it was warranty work then underhandedly charged my credit card stating Technician never replaced any parts so warranty is not valid. Tecnician fixed machine because burning odor stopped almost immediately. Technician never left billing invoicd and company never sent billing invoice. I found the bill on my credit card statement. Bunn Coffeemake Company is not to be trusted. The Bunn Tech support, Technician and Billing Dept are not to be trusted. They say one thing and then do another. This is the last Bunn product I will ever purchase for home or business. Buyer beware with any Bunn products. They will not honor the Bunn warranty. read more

Bunn-O-Matic Sure Tamp Machine. I have this commercial espresso machine for my bakery. It costs thousands. I have had several problems with it, all of which my local rep claimed were the fault of our staff (although he did not tell us that - he said it to a 3rd party). He did not respond to several of our requests for service, and the handful of times he did come in, he was unfriendly and condescending. The machine only came with a 1 year warranty and is now only 18 months old. The touch screen has gone out, as has the bearings requiring the entire inner mechanism to be replaced - $5,000.00 price tag. 1/3 a cost of the machine. We clean this machine daily (sometimes twice), our usual service tech has commended us on several occasions as to how clean and well kept our machine is, yet now that it is not working, Bunn-O-Matic is attempting to blame us for the issues. BUYER BEWARE! Although they have some basic products that work well, do not buy the SURE TAMP or anything too pricey from this company. They do not stand behind their products, and even though they offer to reach out to assist you in a public forum setting - to date, we have not experienced that. read more
