Bunn Coffee Maker
Well known worldwide with hundreds of models to choose from it can make the best choice for us to make kind of difficult. To narrow the field, it is helpful to know that Bunn or Bunn O Matic coffee machines are mainly manufactured for the commercial market. It’s quite likely that your local restaurant may use on of these because of their hardy constitutions. They do however make models for the consumer in both automatic and manual machines. The automatics make your brewing a lot easier. They mostly have waterlines so that water reservoirs are automatically filled. Some offer a pour over option so you can brew your java even when the waterline is disconnected. The pour over type has a hot water reservoir which makes coffee brewing faster – usually in less than three minutes. You have to put the water into the top of these machines and they pour over the coffee - hence the name Pour Over. Some complain that this pour over technique creates weaker coffee because the hot water goes through the coffee grinds too fast. They also have drip brewers that most of us are familiar with and pod types which use coffee pods which are coffee that is ground, roasted and put into the paper pod for quick coffee brewing. Bunn is credited with being the first company to offer the filter drip coffee makers in the home. You can even get a thermal carafe type which keeps the coffee hot for hours without the burnt tasting coffee that non thermal carafes can produce. This is a no nonsense brand and they do not make espresso machines. If you like the flavor of restaurant coffee this is the machine for you as it makes coffee at at home that tastes very similar. |
