BUNN 13300.0001 VP17-1SS Pourover Coffee Brewer with 1 Warmer, Stainless Steel

I have had this unit since 1997, it should last forever.

We use it for making iced tea and coffee at least once but mostly twice a day.

We have it on a $15.00 appliance timer so the water is not heated between 10pm and 6am (it only takes

15 mins to heat up the tank if it is off) I make coffee at 6:30am it takes 5 mins

to make a pot (I can make as little as 4 cups) then I turn it off till the evening when

we make tea. I got tired of buying the $20 coffee pots that only last a year.

We love our BUNN VP17, having had it at home in our Kitchen for over 1 year now.

I am a hard core coffee addict, and in our house we can go through several pots just in the morning.

The coffee is always perfectly hot (200F) and the big BUNN brews a full 64oz pot of terrific coffee in 3 minutes.

This is a very sturdy, well built machine. Simple to operate and built like a tank.

When looking for a replacement coffee maker, we had some simple requirements (It had to be American made, and it had to be simple).

The last thing I want at 5am is to have to fight with a computerized coffee maker.

Pro's

Made in USA. Let's keep Americans working!

All Stainless Steel. No plastic

Simple to use. Just pour as much water as you'd like coffee.

High quality power switch for the lower burner

It' s a BUNN

Great conversation pice in my kitchen

Con's

It is Big! and takes up a substantial amount to counter space

A comment regarding power consumption.

The BUNN VP17 is always "on". It has no power switch per se.

The internal tank has an independent thermostat and heating element. Once the unit is heated up, It will operate once (3-4 mins)/1.52 Hours.

During this hearing stage, the machine will use around 1500 Watts of power.

The independently switch hotplate draws about 50Watts.

Keep in mind, the BUNN has no water pump, so once it starts to brew, the water is gravity fed into the pot.

We are energy conscious, and have placed the BUNN on an appliance timer; turning in on at 4am, and off at 8pm.

Heat up from cold water takes about 20 minutes.

When our unit heats up, after being off for 8 hours, it only takes 5-10 minutes to get up to temperature.

This has resulted in a negligible change to our electric bill.

Overall, it is a wise investment. You can enjoy your coffee knowing you helped to keep fellow Americans employed.

And please try to buy American.

Tired of burning through cheapie pkastic drip coffee makers? I was. This is great...resturant coffee anytime. It works as well today (2011) as it did when I took it out of the box! It keeps the water inside hot by reheating it periodically. Don't worry, you'll never notice it on your electric bill. Well made, built to last. The VP-17 is made to fit under wall mounted kitchen cabinets. It comes with plastic pitcher for water. I use about 1/4 of the pitcher for one cup (mug) of coffee and about 2 scoops of ground coffee.

It's expensive. It stays on all the time, but it will be the last coffee maker your will ever buy. I purchased a bigger model for the office, and made the mistake of ordering the Plastic/metal pots for that product. They are hard to clean though hard to break. With this product for home I purchased glass pots. I would recommend the glass pots for this product. They are well made of treated glass and made in Germany. If you break them, it's easy to order another. They are much easier to clean and safe to put in the dishwasher. I Got two pots for insurance.

Hard water...no problem, the maker comes with a root rooter device to ream out the stainless steel tubing.

Made in the USA! Made to last. You can't ask for more!

I purchased this coffee brewer for the office. We previously bought the $99.00 Bunn's from various shopping centers and they just didn't last and had overflow problems regularly. Since purchasing this one, I have not heard any complaints and everyone in the office thinks it's absolutly wonderful.

I gave it 4 stars mainly because we have only had it for a month.

Chemex Ten Cup Glass Coffee Maker with Glass Handle - 10 Cup Coffee Maker

My family used the chemex system for brewing coffee. So I am very comfortable and familiar with using it. In today's hurry-up world, some people would not want to be bothered boiling the water, and slowly pouring it into the chemex glass coffee maker. When our power goes out, we have a gas stove, so we can still brew wonderful coffee, and that is a great thing to be able to do to warm-up while waiting for the power to come back on, here up in the mountains!

There is no plastic in this coffee pot ant the coffee tastes better than coffee brewed any other way.

I got this after hearing so many negative things about how bad using a Keurig is for you. I was not sure if I should order this, but I am SO glad I did. This makes some GREAT coffee, and you don't have to worry about platic and chemical leach like you do in other coffee makers. Totally worth the few extra minutes it takes and your kitchen smells yummy while it's brewing :o)

I was introduced to the Chemex ten cup glas coffee

maker by my son. Although I thought the glass maker

was a bit pricey, I must admit that the taste of

the coffee was well worth the price. My recommendation,

purchase the unit with the handle. I never purchased the

Chemex coffeemaker glass lid, but just left the coffee

grounds/filter on the unit which kept the coffee nice and hot.

This was new to me until I first tried it, some 3-4 months ago. As soon as I started using it Chemex became my exclusive coffee-brewing method and it's likely to stay that way.

If what you want is a 'clean' yet tasty and flavorful cup of coffee and don't mind spending a few minutes making it AND you don't mind using a lot more ground coffee than you would otherwise the Chemex-made coffee should be your cup of tea, so to speak.

I was completely unaware of anything and everything Chemex until recently when, on the strength of another Amazon review, I decided to give it a try. Add the super-special Chemex filters and some good coffee and you get some honest-to-goodness good tasting, non-bitter coffee. I am happy with what I am tasting. It's a honest, clean coffee and it's good enough for me to drink it unaltered, milk and sugar-free, Espresso-style or with frothed milk. My coffee tastes very much like an Espresso or like a sugarless Cappuccino only not so hot and not so bitter but this is my preference.

The process involves bringing some water to a boil while grinding your coffee 'medium grind' seems to be optimal. Place the filter into the top of the coffee maker, add the desired amount of coffee and SLOWLY pour the just boiled water after first just wetting the grounds. It takes 4-5 minutes to produce my 3 five-ounce cups. Chemex claims that their own filters have some extraordinary properties including 'the right filtration speed' which (hint) is NOT 'fast'.

The glass quality is good enough to allow for heating the coffee by placing the coffee maker to sit on top of a gas range or a glass top range (but NOT on electric heating coils) without breaking. I don't have a gas range but I can testify that it works well with glass tops.

My verdict so far is 'excellent' for an inexpensive, clean, likely to last forever coffee maker but, as I noted already, you will have to dedicate a few minutes of your time to brewing your coffee if you decide to do it the Chemex way. Ever since I brewed my first Chemex cup I never went back to the old ways. The only use my Cappuccino machine has now is 'milk frother'.

Expect to use A LOT more coffee than you would normally need to make the same amount in a 'regular' coffee or espresso machine. Probably twice as much.

Schaerer E6Mu-1 Touch Espresso Machine

This is one machine I will take with me...I have had this exact model for years and absolutely love it! It does everything for you. You dont need to be a barrista for this one!

Pros: Fast, convenient, great tasting coffee/espresso. Makes a large latte in less than a minute. Simple to use and maintain.

Cons: You need to buy a new foamer nozzle every so often. Reliability is ok, under heavy use it breaks down about once every 3-4 months.

Timothy's World Coffee Rainforest Decaf Espresso Extra-Bold for Keurig Brewers, 24 K-Cups with 2 Or

The decaf espresso has a great taste and is convenient to use. I was able to drink this espresso in the evenings, and it wouldn't keep me up at night. It works flawlessly with the Keurig B70 machine.

CAREFUL!! This is great coffee but for the price you only receive ONE 24-count box as opposed to TWO 24-count boxes as commonly offered with this variety and most other K-cup brands.

It's hard to get excited about decaf. It usually lacks aroma and body of a good cup of regular coffee. However, there are times when you don't want the chemical stimulant and Timothy's Rainforest Decaf Expresso is a wonderful stand in for the regular stuff. Of course it is not caffeine free and part of Rainforest Decaf Expresso's great taste may be due to less processing to remove the naturally occurring chemical. Since I'm lacking any way to measure the caffeine level, suffice to say that it's more like reduced caffeine coffee with great taste.
