BUNN 55200 CSB3T Speed Brew Platinum Thermal Coffee Maker Stainless Steel, 10-Cup, Black

Product Description:
The Fastest Home Coffee Makers in America, now with an updated design. Speed Brew Coffee Makers can brew 10 cups of coffee in about 4 minutes because they store hot water in a stainless steel commercial grade tank allowing them to brew coffee on demand. They’re always on your counter, always plugged in and always ready to brew the perfect cup of coffee.
Taller funnel – Our funnel is engineered to accommodate BUNN filters which are ¼ Inch taller than other filters. This unique design allows for the quick flow of water and prevents overflow of coffee grounds.
Tank – Compared to the other home coffee makers that “burp” water over your coffee grounds as it boils, our tank keeps 70 oz of water at an instantly brew-ready temperature
Temperature – Competitor systems can exceed the recommended standard of 200ºF, resulting in a burnt flavor. Thanks to the temperature regulated tank, the speed brew delivers a consistently ideal brewed pot of coffee.
Speed brew is the only home coffee maker designed, engineered, and manufactured with the same commercial practices as the BUNN equipment trusted by cafes and restaurants worldwide.The BUNN Speed Brew uses an internal commercial grade stainless steel hot water tank that keeps 70oz of water always hot so you can quickly brew at the flip of a lid.
BUNN BREWS DIFFERENTLY – The BUNN Speed Brew uses an internal commercial grade stainless steel hot water tank that keeps 70oz of water always hot so you can quickly brew at the flip of a lid.

Title: An excellent product *if* you understand how to use it
Review: We made the switch from a standard drip coffee maker to this home-use Bunn based specifically on its unique design and our specific needs. We also have pour-over, french press, a double boiler espresso machine and a tea kettle – but I wanted something for a very specific use. I hate the scaleded flavor of coffee that has been sitting on a boiler plate hours after brewing. I tried thermal carafes and none held the coffee hot enough for me to continually pour half a cup throughout my work day. I drink 20-40 ounces of coffee a day over a 5-7 hour time frame. This brewer allows me to brew as little as 20 ounces and the carafe keeps it almost hot for up to 2 hours. This affords me an excuse to get up from my desk and make fresh coffee later in the morning rather than a full pot first thing in the a.m. The speed of brewing is not only amazing and time saving (especially when I have breakfast or brunch guests and we’re ready for refills) but it also means the coffee is more akin to pour over – rapid brewing is a better brewing method. Our first unit arrived damaged with the door/lid for the water receptacle not hinged properly. It didn’t seat correctly and both looked like garbage as well as being worrisome that if it became any looser, it would affect the mechanism that triggers brewing. Amazon exchange was incredibly easy – they shipped a replacement and gave me return shipping free to send the damaged unit back. The second unit arrived almost perfect – that little lid is still slightly askew but far better than the first unit and so we went with it. No regrets – we love this thing and I love not reheating burnt coffee over and over in the microwave. I see a lot of negative reviews here and it seems people have not done their research to understand that this is not a traditional drip coffee pot. For our purposes, it’s better – but I can see where maybe it’s not for everyone. If you’re willing to learn a new method and you actually enjoy fresh coffee, this is a great coffee maker.

Title: Hot, great tasting coffee in a Flash!
Review: Beware, proper setup is extremely important with this coffee maker. Follow the simple instruction sheet before plugging in this coffee maker. Basically, fill it with 2 to 2 and 1/2 carafes of cold water first. After plugging it in, turn on the power switch and wait 15 minutes for the 70 ounces of hot water to heat to 200 degrees. Then pour anywhere from 20 ounces to 50 ounces of cold water in the front reservoir. Yes, I really like that you can pour water in the front and without a spray head in the way. Keep in mind that as soon as you close that lid to the reservoir the coffee will start brewing immediately. Thats why it’s so important to have the carafe in place with the lid turned to the closed position (the arrow points to the front of the carafe where the pour spout is.) Now you can close the lid and watch the magic happen. It takes only 4 minutes to brew a full pot (50 ounces) of hot, robust coffee. There is no pause and serve feature, lcd window with timer, brew strength selector, special cleaning cycle, or audible alert when the coffee is finished brewing. However, that also means there is less to go wrong and that means you will experience increased long term reliability. For example, there is no pump to go bad or become clogged over time. I love the simplistic beauty of this artful, well constructed and thoughtful design. Most competitors have plastic water reservoirs, because the water is heated as the coffee is brewed. This Bunn has a stainless- steel water reservoir that will never give off a plastic, artificial taste. Thats worth a lot in my book. One final thought, if you will not use the coffee maker in 3 or 4 days, by all means turn it off. The water stays at a constant 200 degrees and it evaporates over time. In 5 days or less all the water will evaporate and expose the heating element to air. This will cause it to burn out in short order. In this respect it operates like the hot water heater in your house. The heating element must be kept in water while the power is on. Oh yes, I love the 3 year warranty, that’s rare these days for a coffee maker.

Title: Simplicity at its finest
Review: Sometimes you just want coffee. This coffee maker fits that bill. Simple, fast, reliable, good coffee.Most drip style coffee makers work pretty much the same way. They have a little plastic one-way valve in a tube that lets cold water flow in (towards a heating element). When the water reaches that heating element, it heats and expands. Since it cannot go backwards, it goes forwards – through the tube, up, and out into the coffee grounds. More (cold) water then flows in through that little plastic valve, until all the water has been heated and ejected through the coffee grounds.The problem is with that little plastic valve. It can get “dirty” over time, so that it no longer properly prevents water from going backwards. Once water can flow backwards through that valve, it has no need to flow forwards. Brew times increase, and eventually stop altogether.While there is a lot of info all over the internet about how to remove, clean, and reinstall this little valve, you still have to do it – or replace the entire coffee maker.After contemplating doing this teardown yet again on my last coffee maker, I decided “No more”, and bought this one.This type of coffee maker works differently. There is no valve to malfunction. The water is heated ahead of time, and kept warm until you want a pot of coffee. Then, you pour a pot of cold water in. That water flows in in such a way that it “pushes” the already hot water out and over the grounds, resulting in a very fast pot of coffee (3-4 minutes).There are no timers, clock, bells, or whistles on this one. Just a single switch that you leave on (unless going away for days). The brew process simply “starts” when you close the filler lid – so just make sure the pot is in place before closing the lid 🙂

Review: This was suppose to be a xmas gift for my husband…. The one time Amazon didn’t place this box inside an Amazon Box, so surprise “Merry Christmas” (husband received delivery) you get a new coffee machine to replace that old dripping Cuisinart we had since the ice age…Regardless – He and I love this brewer! Its clean, slick, simple, straightforward and it brews hot, cafe quality coffee quickly!We use a great local roaster’s coffee and we are living the cafe life every morning…. Fancy coffee machines look great on the counter/ make great status symbols but if just desire simple use and great coffee as more your style….don’t hesitate, so far its the best brewer we’ve ever had.

Review: I purchased this model to replace my Bunn velocity brew, which I had previously owned for about 10 years. I wanted the update of the thermal carafe to stop throwing away coffee that has been on the burner too long. This coffee maker makes excellent coffee very quickly – full pot brews in about 3 1/2 minutes. The carafe works very well to keep my coffee very hot for two hours and drinkably hot for up to 4 hours. I am very pleased with this product and love Bunn coffee makers in general. I had my doubts about the ability of the carafe to keep coffee hot, but no worries – the coffee stays hot and I am throwing away a lot less coffee now. Love it very much.
