Their BUNN GRB Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer gives other coffee makers a run for their money, because it is reliable, beautiful in design and 100% guaranteed to turn anyone in to a coffee lover.
Design and Functionality
To most people, it is basic in design and not as shiny as you would expect, but don’t let that fool you. This is a high class machine that will leave you wanting more.
It comes with an exclusive non-drip carafe that has a proprietary lid with a spout design which arcs the pour of the coffee in to the cup. The bottom is large and flat, with a filter and funnel allowing great interaction between the coffee and the water for excellent extraction of flavor.
The hot water tank is make of stainless steel, and holds water at the perfect temperature for brewing I.e. 200°F which makes it very capable of brewing hot coffee fast. In 3-4 minutes you have your pot of coffee.
The multi-stream spray head is very unique, because it can distribute water evenly over the coffee for perfect flavor.
The filter is also cleverly designed to give coffee that is delicious every time you brew it. The engineers also thought about the carafe in their design, so the coffee doesn’t spill as you make it.
Usability
It’s important to note that this is a simple gadget that is very easy to use. Once you get the hang of it, you will be amazed at how easy to use it is, compared to the other drip coffee makers in the market.
The beauty of this machine is that it will hold double the amount of coffee compared to the other coffee makers, 100 ounces, or 20 coffee cups. It is ideal for a large household or a busy office.
You will need to do a little prep work before you begin brewing. First, even before connecting to the power source, you must fill the water tank to its full capacity, and since this is a large reservoir, place it on a sturdy counter that can accommodate it.
You should then plug it in, and give it at least 15 minutes for the water to boil as needed.
Afterwards drop the specialized BUNN water filter in the funnel for brewing and then measure out the coffee grounds you wish to brew. It does not have a specific measuring scoop, so there’s enough leeway here for you to decide what you want.
Something you will find a bit off with the coffee maker is that it doesn’t exactly have an ‘on’ ‘off’ switch. To start the brewing process, you simply need to close the lid. Be careful not to close this lid when the carafe is not in place, as it will spew hot water all over your counter.
Performance
If you forget about the beauty of the machine, and all you want is speed, then you have it, because the BUNN GRB Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, will blast for you 10 cups of coffee within a very short time.
In 3 minutes and 33 seconds, you have your coffee. How impressive is that?
It hits a temperature of 195 degrees in just 60 seconds, and the flavor of the coffee is also very good. You will enjoy a rich, smooth cup of coffee, that has no bitterness compared to the other coffee makers.
