Bunn A10 brewer - $230.00. Great tasting coffee - Priceless. I believe the secret lies in the five-jet stainless sprayhead which evenly saturates the grinds, proper water temperature and tried/tested design. Time to Brew. I have not verified that temperature.yet. There is a very visible warning label behind the decanter which reveals it's commercial heritage, but it is easily removed if desired. Very smooth, rich full bodied taste is achieved with no bitterness, just like my local coffee shop. Ground coffee is placed in the brew funnel and slid into place.
Although the unit is only 6.75 inches wide, it is 13.5 inches deep. There is no auto shut-off feature, so you need to shut it off manually. I purchased it for my home kitchen. The brew funnel is sturdy plastic, one-piece design, but I believe a stainless steel funnel would have better complemented the overall construction of machine. As the instruction manual warns, you cannot plug the A10 in immediately and start brewing. 200 F.
Weighing in at 14 pounds, this is no lightweight machine. It is a very serious piece of hardware and sure to be a topic of conversation when guests arrive. The internal tank needs to be filled with water prior to powering. No disappointments and highly recommended. Set Up.
It is civilized and stylish. I recently received delivery on my Bunn Model A-10 coffee brewer. Measurements are somewhat confusing. Once plugged in, the vacation switch is powered on. The clear plastic water pitcher supplied with brewer has graduations measured in 12 ounce increments, total of 48 ounces.
This takes up a good 2/3 of a standard countertop depth including room for the cord. This is the pourover model, not the automatic. The new water poured into machine is in turn quickly heated in the internal tank. Yes, it is a categorized as a commercial unit, however, it is not industrial looking like the Bunn unit you would see at your local coffee shop. There are no color choices. There is no "start" button or switch. The increments on the glass decanter, however, are measured in 2 cup increments, total of 10 cups. Out of the box.
Depending on the strength of coffee you prefer, it takes some experimenting to get it just right. Within 10 minutes the water in the internal tank reaches the proper temperature for brewing which, according to the manual, is approx. Once the water is poured into the screened opening on top of unit, brewing starts immediately as there is already water at 200 F in the brewer. The hefty price tag paid was worth while.
I calculated each cup measure to be 5 ounces. Then the warmer switch is turned on which controls only the porcelain warming plate. When I placed it on the kitchen counter, all I could think was "this thing is all business". The manual calls for 2 full pitchers of water and remainder will run off from the sprayhead. Taste.
The unit was delivered directly from Bunn and I found it to be packaged tight with nothing broken. You had better have that decanter in place. This switch remains on unless you plan to be away for several days or more. Black and high polish steel with an almost chrome appearance, Bunn logo up front. This water remains in the unit at all times.
It is still a great coffee maker, and I guess by not making the parts available they sell more units. If you buy a Bunn, it will leak, the question is when. My current (and now leaking) coffe pot is about 7 years old so that's pretty good, but is sure seeems a waste to have to replace it for lack of a little rubber washer. and Bunn does not sell the little 50 cent gasket/rubber washer that is the cause of the leaking. Hopefully my local old fashion hardware store will have a gasket that will work.
Let your search stop here and just buy it already. We were serial coffee maker buyers until we purchased this Bunn. It's fast, the coffee is hot, and it tastes like coffee, not plastic.
Once obama brings in carbon tax, you may find these things in the dumpster. Repent, and put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. This machine cranks out a full pot of delicious black goodness in 3 minutes flat. Jesus is LORD and savior. The kingdom of Heaven is at hand. It is always great. I do not know how much this thing is going to increase my electric bill yet.
Would you like to wake up feeling refreshed, and revitalized. This is a metal plated bad boy with few working parts, and a mechanics sensibility in design. You don't need a morning exercise video, you need the Bunn A10, the Bunn of Steel.The Bunn A10 isn't just any old coffee maker, in fact, it isn't just any old Bunn. The difference between this and MOST commercial models is that most can brew two pots (reg and decaf) at once, and have three hotplates.
The carafe is the NCD decanter, which is more drum shaped and has the flip up lid. The metal spray head is replacable, and they have plastic ones for hard water. The taste of the coffee is superb, but it takes more grinds to get it strong. This is better for home use, as we found out later, since it is very easy to clean.If you are looking for a coffee pot built like a tank, built to last, which makes great coffee quick, saving you precious morning minutes, I would say look no further. The carafe you get with this unit is not the one pictured, which looks just like the commercial carafes, which was a bit of a disappointment at first. Would you like feel like your rushed morning is just a little less hectic.
The heater unit has its own power switch in addition to the on/warmer/off switch.Bunn's brew fast by keeping a reservoir of water hot at all times, and the water you pour in today will be tomorrows hot coffee. You have found your machine.Highly recommended. This Bunn is a professional model, which means, it is the same model you would find at a small IHOP, or Waffle House, or any other restaurant which has the need of a single hotplate coffee maker. This one is more suited for home use, while retaining the commercial heavy usage capabilities.This model isn't some modernized sleek brewer with a million plastic parts built to last for 2 years.
