Review on BUNN BCF100-B 100-Count πŸ“¦ Basket Filter 4-Pack: Optimal Filtration Solution by Kara Collins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unlike universal filter

Apparently there is nothing to say about such a simple thing as a coffee filter. But there are a few that come to mind. It's not the same as the nameless ones you see in the dollar store. Ban filters have higher sides. This is due to the fact that Bunn pressure coffee makers pump water everywhere at once, rather than dripping down like almost every other machine. This can cause dirt and water to splash overboard when using unnamed filters. 2. They have a constant thickness over the entire floor. If you've used other filters, you may have noticed that after brewing, you're left with hills and valleys of the earth. This leads to inconsistent taste and coffee strength. In order to prepare the best coffee, the water must flow through the ground coffee as evenly as possible over the surface of the filter.3. Likewise, the only job a filter performs is filtering. I compared the Bunn brand to some of the generics I had in my closet by holding them up to the light. Conventional filters are much less porous than Bann filters. Therefore, after brewing with normal filters, I have a filter cup with water that cannot drain into the pot. Because Bann filters are so porous, they allow all of the water to pass through the coffee and filter into the pot. For me they don't leave a papery taste like some of the others I've used. The size filters I bought last more than a year if I make one can a day. That's three cents a day. No matter which Bunn model you own, you've spent a lot on it compared to almost any other model you might have chosen. Well worth the extra three cents a day to keep it working as it should.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Discontinued model
