BUNN GRB Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer Review

he BUNN GRB Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer comes from a company that is synonymous with coffee makers and that has an excellent reputation not only for producing high quality merchandise but also for providing outstanding customer and after sales service.

If by any chance the product you purchase is defective in any way then BUNN will replace it quickly and at no cost to you. Will you need to keep this reassurance in mind when considering this particular coffee maker? Let’s see.

Great for Volume Use

Like so many coffee makers, this model works well when it is used how the manufacturers intended it to be used. Some products are meant for occasional use, and some for heavy use. This is for heavy use.

That means the warming plate that keeps the coffee in the carafe hot is on all the time. Indeed, it has to be. Likewise, the hot water tank is always keeping the water in the reservoir hot so you can produce a piping hot cup of joe within three minutes at any time the machine is on.

But if you only place a demand on it of three or four cups a day then you’ll be paying for the water (and the coffee in the carafe) to be kept hot all day, which is unnecessary and expensive. The water in the tank may evaporate, and the coffee in the carafe become too hot, affecting the taste. If you think that’s a danger for you, perhaps the BUNN MCU would be a better choice.

While BUNN themselves have marked this model for domestic use, it is ideal for serving an office full of people, as well as a large family, or in any environment where people are regularly helping themselves to a brew.

Quality By Design

Probably the most distinguishing feature of the BUNN GRB coffee maker is the spray-head, which ensures the coffee grinds are evenly sprayed with water at optimum temperature to bring out the best taste.

The stainless steel tank, with its internal thermostat, and the porcelain-coated warming plate do the rest to ensure that up to 10 cups of coffee are produced to the highest quality.

Customer Reviews and Scores

Scoring 4.3 from 412 reviews at the time of writing, the BUNN GRB has attracted the full 5 stars from nearly 75 per cent of its reviewers on Amazon. The next largest score for it by far is 4 stars. Most of the reviews have gushing praise.

What about the negative reviews? These tend to focus on part failures and the cost of keeping the reservoir water boiling hot and the carafe contents warm for periods when they’re not required (but hey, this IS a 10 cup model, remember?).

Following the instructions to the letter when setting it up appears to be more important for the BUNN GRB than for most coffee makers, and this is something that some negative reviewers seem to have neglected.

In fairness, this model does seem more suited to heavy, regular use, rather than just one or two people wanting an occasional brew, so bear that in mind when making your buying decision.
