BUNN (CSB3T) 10-Cups Speed Brew Platinum Coffee Maker Reviews

Love it buy it if you wont your coffee now.

I have owned many coffee pots over the years, including a couple of other BUNN models and this one cannot be beat. I bought it specifically for the thermal carafe that keeps coffee piping hot for 6+ hours and the lack of warming plate that often gets left on as well as the fact that it keeps water hot in the tank and starts brewing as soon as you begin to pour in fresh water. This is a Superstar!

Second time I purchased this product the first one lasted 5 years . Would recommend it to anyone .

People need to know the truth. With that being said, this is my experience... Received my Bunn last Friday. I followed directions for set up. By Saturday, I noticed a funny smell. I said it smelled like burnt rubber, my husband said he thought it smelled like burnt wires. I figured, the pot is new, the smell should go away after being used awhile. Monday morning I unplugged the pot because the smell seemed to be getting worse and I was afraid of a possible fire. I took it to my Walmart and had the CSR smell it. She couldn't believe how bad it smelled and promptly refunded me. My dilemma, I had a Bunn years ago and still wanted this Bunn with the thermal carafe. My husband said order it again, maybe the next pot will be okay. So, that's what I did. It'll be a week or so before I get the new one. I will update my review then... as of now, I can't recommend this product.

Scouring reviews on coffee makers was a daunting task. We had a Mr. Coffee for about 8 years and liked the flavour it provided. One problem was however the coffee was getting "cooked" on the warmer. So the first cup was good but subsequent cups had deteriorated. So we wanted one with a thermal carafe. Unfortunately many of the ones so equipped, at least according to reviews we read, either didn't produce hot coffee or didn't maintain it in the carafe. So we felt the Bunn CSB3T was the one for us. We have only had it for a few days but here is what we like. Hot coffee! Fast coffee! Brews a full pot in about 4 minutes. Flavorful coffee but at this point no better than what we got from Mr. Coffee although we're still tweaking our grind and quantity. The carafe, without preheating, keeps coffee hot for at least 3 hours and it pours extremely well. Simple operation. Add a filter with coffee and pour the water in. Out comes your coffee. No buttons to press or malfunction. What we don't like. The quantity of grounds we use in this is double that we used in the Mr. coffee due I expect to the fact the water flows much faster into and out of the filter. In the past we used 1 tbsp/2 cups and at this point it's 1 tbsp/cup. Although the size of the machine is only inches greater than the Mr. Coffee it is enough that it protrudes from under the upper cabinets requiring a relocation for aesthetics. No timer. This is a very basic machine as mentioned earlier which is good with fewer things to go wrong but if you like to prepare your coffee at night so you have fresh brew in the morning, this machine is not for you. The looks of the machine is fine by me, not gorgeous, but not hideous enough for my wife to reject. So I knocked off 1 star mainly due to it's size and the fact we now use double the grounds. Other than that we very much enjoy it and particularly love the effectiveness and function of the thermal carafe.

This pot produces great coffee. There are problems with functioning. First this pot has a water well, you must keep it full so even though you can just put the pot on you have to fill first to compensate. That brings me to filling you can't just fill the water and close the lid, no, there is a lever that release the water into the well when you close the lid,which also releases already hot water into the carafe. If you close the lid before putting the carafe back you'll have water everywhere. There is also an issue with the two power buttons. One one the side is to remain on so that the water in the well is automatically heated, the other button in the front turns on the hot plate which keeps the carafe hot. If you turn off the well heater the water will still release when the lever is pushed by closing the lid. The water will not be hot and not only will you waste water and coffee, you will also waste your time because now you have to start the filling and heating process over again.

This.coffee maker can brew approximately 10 cups of coffee in under minutes! I have a Keurig at home and I am the only coffee drinker so this coffee pot would be better used at office. My staff loves it! The thermal keeps warm for hours. My tellers were able to drink coffee without leaving their stations. Awesome coffee machine.

This coffee maker works very good. This actually brews up to ten cups in four minutes. The carafe holds heat for up to two hours. The water reservoir always stays on hot. This coffee pot is very easy to use, maintain, and clean. It has a flat bottom funnel and filter for a balanced brewing. The carafe is vacuum insulated which leaves your fresh brewed coffee fresh and hot. The sprayhead has six streams that showers over the cofee ground to make sure your coffee is brewed completely. This Bunn coffee maker is very stylish with a silver chrome and black design which adds a bit of decor to your kitchen. Bunn coffee makers are used commercially, which is also a handy kitchen appliance for the modern household. If you are looking for a very well made and fast coffee maker then this is the coffee maker for you. This cofee maker definitely gets the job done.

I'm not extremely impressed by this coffee maker. Online it appeared to have a more elegant design however when I actually pulled it out of the packaging and was in the midst of setting it up the silver accents and handle are very lightweight and almost plastic, cheap feeling. Now if you back away a bit, it doesn't seem so bad but up close and personal the overall look and feel are a no for me. Coming from someone who loves coffee and has had several types of coffee makers from the old school tiny pot makers to many, many versions of the one cup Keurigs. I love trying new designs to see what fits my family's needs and this simply wasn't it. I didn't like the vague quick set up directions. It almost seemed like it made what should be so EASY somehow complicated. Its also quite bulky. If you don't have much counter space this may not be for you. Now what I DO like is the 4 minute brew. Once you put the coffee in the filter it's definitely quick. Even after 2 days the water in the back was still piping hot! Now THAT is very neat. But again, if you like vanilla nut and your spouse likes strong bold black coffee the whole 4 minute thing may be out the window for you cause you have to put another filter in and make a new jug of coffee instead of single serves where you just pop in the casing or your favorite reusable casing (also sold at Walmart) and there you go, no wasted coffee. It seems this product would be beneficial in an office settings where no one cares about the size or what flavor coffee was made in the morning OR in a home with 3 or more people who enjoy the same taste in coffee.

This BUNN 10 cup coffee maker looks better in picture than in person...don't let the pictures deceive you...BUNN is a well known brand, so I had high expectations for it...Upon opening the box, the coffee maker felt heavy but some parts felt cheap...The back of it (chrome color) is plastic...and also the handle of the pot is plastic...There's nothing wrong with it being plastic, it just felt like cheap plastic...It does come with filters, and also with easy to read instructions that are easy to follow...Keep in mind this is a thermal coffee maker, it does not have a warming plate...It is very bulky, 14.9 inches (H) x 8.25 inches (W) x 13.6 inches (D)...it will take a lot of space in your kitchen counter...It was easy to clean, coffee was ready in 4 minutes like it states...In the beginning it did have a little bit of a plastic smell...but I've experienced that with other coffee makers as well...overall this BUNN coffee maker was just ok...It didn't meet my expectations ....
