Review on BUNN GRB Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, in Sleek Black Finish by Heather Jackson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Read all negative reviews.

Let me start by saying that like most people who seem to want to buy a Bunn coffee maker, I've been using it for years. My previous manufacturer did this for 6 years. (Release 2013 and failed 3 days ago) probably would have taken longer but I have very hard water, I've never filtered it and the kettle hasn't been cleaned, EVER. After disassembling it to see if it could be fixed, I had a very good idea of what that hard water had done to my coffee maker. This time I will use filtered water and clean the kettle once a month. Well, with all that being said, I've read all or most of the negative reviews and seen people saying "The filter basket will overflow water and coffee grounds" - "The coffee maker smelled like burnt plastic 2-3 days after starting it up "Use" - "You can't get the coffee maker to make a cup of coffee strong enough" - "The temperature of the coffee isn't hot enough after brewing" You've wasted your money. As for all of the above complaints, I have not received a single one. I love really strong coffee, so I fill the filter almost full with coffee (trust me, it's strong) so it doesn't overflow. It's so hot in here that you'll burn your mouth if you pour yourself a new cup and try to take a big gulp. It doesn't smell like burnt plastic at all. Fully brews a cup of coffee in 3 minutes. Oh yes, I read that some said you should refill the water tank after each coffee delivery or don't forget to turn off the water tank switch or you will burn the heating element. This is completely wrong because once you get so much water in the kettle that the water starts to flow into the pot, there will always be water in the tank unless you turn the kettle upside down and drain it. I gave this bunn 5 stars everywhere. My only and final question is how long this will take. If it comes out sooner than 3 years I will let you know. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope it has helped you in your decision.
