Bunn BTX-B Review
Bunn BTX-B Review by JAK "JAK"
I found this coffee maker at a thrift store and they didn't know if it worked or not. I bought it for $5 without testing it. When I took it home it dripped water all over my counter. I was able to take the top of the maker apart with six screws and found that it was leaking water where it drained into the holding tank. I was able to buy what I needed to fix it at the hardware store for $3.
Having fixed the leak I was ready to test coffee maker. The only problem was I didn't have a manual. So, I tried to brew coffee immediately and kept getting luke-warm coffee that was very weak. I decided to download a manual on Bunn's website and realized you have to let the water in the tank heat before brewing. I did that and it made a very hot pot of coffee. That means you can't just turn this coffee maker on and brew coffee. That's why the power switch is called the vacation switch. You have to leave it on to keep the coffee in the tank hot. That's how you get a hot pot of coffee in 3 minutes. The cold water you pour in goes into the tank and forces the same amount of hot water out into the waiting coffee beans. If you don't leave it on you will have to wait 10-15 minutes for the water in the tank to heat up.
I cleaned the pot and coffeemaker thoroughly before making any coffee in it, so I didn't have a problem with the carafe dripping right away. I did notice after a few pots of coffee that it began to drip when I poured. I have found that you can usually fix the drip by scrubbing the lid and the carafe paying close attention to the spout. I think most of the problem with drip comes from build up when you simply rinse the carafe instead of washing and scrubbing.
A similar problem I had when I first bought it was a problem with the coffee not draining fast enough into the carafe. It was brewing faster than it could drain. I inspected the drain hole in the carafe and found that it has a removable rubber insert. If it drains too slowly you can remove the insert and clean it thoroughly and scrub the drip hole in the carafe lid.
As far as the carafe keeping the coffee warm, I have brewed a pot of coffee and gone back an hour later for a second cup and it was still hot. I don't think that is going to vary from one buyer to the next. The only thing I can assume is that people who complain about it not keeping their coffee hot either go back for a second cup hours later or didn't make the coffee properly in the first place. The advantage of not having your coffee scorched by a burner far outweighs any disadvantage that the carafe may have for me. After all, if the coffee does get too cold you can just dump it and have a fresh pot in 3 minutes.
Overall I would say that this coffee maker does require a little more care than most others and has far less features, but when used properly it makes a very hot, good pot of coffee and it does it quickly. Just remember to leave it turned on and clean the carafe thoroughly.
Bunn BTX-B Review by Tee
I'VE OWNED A BUNN COFFEE MAKER FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS. (THE SAME ONE) BEFORE I BOUGHT IT EVERY TIME I BOUGHT A NEW COFFEE MAKER IT WOULD ONLY LAST FOR A FEW MONTHS AND I WOULD HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE. SO I KNEW WHEN THIS ONE WORE OUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BUNN.
I SHOPPED AROUND LOOKING AT PRICES AND THE DIFFERENT MODELS.I FOUND THE BEST PRICE AT AMAZON.COM.
I BOUGHT THE BUNN-O-MATIC BTXB (THERMAL) ITS EASY TO OPERATE,IT STARTS MAKING AS SOON AS YOU POUR THE WATER IN THE TANK,MY OLD ONE DID THAT ALL SO,BUT IN THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE NEW BUNN ITS SAID WOULD MAKE IN 3 MINUTES AND MY OLD ONE WOULD MAKE IN A BOUT A MINUTE. SO I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THINKING THAT IT WOULD TAKE LONGER TO MAKE.
MY REVIEW ON THIS NEW BUNN IS SO FAR ITS WONDERFUL,ITS EASY TO USE,IT LOOKS GREAT,THE THERMAL POT KEEPS THE COFFEE WARM UNTIL UP IN THE DAY, IF IT LASTS JUST HALF AS LONG AS MY OLD ONE I'LL BE HAPPY.

This is a great coffee maker, but the carafe is terrible. It's amazing they can make such a quality product and screw it up with something as simple as the carafe.
