BUNN CSB2B Speed Brew Elite 10-Cup Coffee Maker, Black/SST

This is the best choice you can make for a delicious and speedy fresh drip coffee full with all the flavors, aroma and at the right temperature, in every single cup!I bought this model after careful attention and spécification comparaisons between the top brands and to replace a Zojirushi Coffee maker that was still working but was extremely noisy and messy as it tended to clog after more than a year, even after having changing the filters or following the right cleaning process.The first main difference with this coffee maker comes from design, not only does the aesthetics looks great, compact and modern, but technically it brings a whole new concept by providing a permanent repository of hot water which makes your fresh cup of coffee available at any time in a matter of a few seconds - without the noise or mess- and at the perfect exact amount as measured by cups. Equal inputs, will always get you exact equal outputs….which is great! There is a different control button if you want to keep the coffee hot for some time but beware of leaving it too long as it will dry out and affect the acidity of your cup.If I have to mention one single inconvenience of this model it would be the design of the carafe itself. It has a plastic removable cover which allows to pour in a direct and fast flow into the cup without any spilling but the elegant shape happens to be too bulky making it impractical to use for refilling the water compartment or even getting rid of the remaining old coffee as you have to almost turn it upside down completely to get rid of the contents; this also makes cleaning the carafe annoying despite you will be able to get used to it after some practice.Perfectly functional and elegantly crafted the stainless steel touches ad a modern touch and it looks great on my granite countertop. I also bought some of the bar silicone area pads to protect the working space of my coffee station so I have no worries while creating the perfect excellent cup of coffee at every attempt! I would strongly recommend this model, it is a bit on the expensive side, but it is fully worth the value!

Perfect. Wish I had bought this years ago. High quality, well made and excellent design. Always hot water. Always ready. Coffee in four to five minutes.

I cannot imagine never owning a Bunn coffee maker. Our older model maker finally decided it was tired of helping us wake in the morning so we decided to retire it and get the newer model. Love it. It is sturdier and is still the same size. The coffee is alway made quick and hot. So easy to use and clean. I like the new design.

Fast, fantastic and love how it holds the filters. I use the commercial Bunn filters and never get grounds in my coffee. Love how quick this brews a full pot. The reserve tanks stays heated, so be sure to switch it off when not using for a while or on vacation. Bright blue lighted switches are hard to miss when left on. I used filtered water, actually Reverse Osmosis, which significantly reduces the need to clean. Also, greatly improves coffee taste.This is the 4th Bunn home unit I have owned in 35 years.

I purchased this Bunn coffee maker for 3 reasons: 1. It has a metal reservoir. 2. It brews quickly (we are a caff/decaf mixed household so it allows separate brews in the morning) and 3. It is made in the USA. If your motivations align with the above, you will be happy with your purchase as those pros outweigh the negatives, all of which stem from any prior experience you’ve had with a typical drip coffee maker.The design of the filter basket is why the brew cycle is shorter. Rather than the typical gasket/spring arrangement, the Bunn basket has a simple hole that allows the water to filter through the basket quickly. This not only speeds up the process, but because the grinds are not swimming in water for any length of time, I noticed that the coffee is less bitter and I could almost go without my normal cream. HOWEVER, it does require that you use a fine grind coffee and you actually use a tablespoon for each cup of water. Essentially, I had to upgrade my coffee and double the amount that I use. I also found that the decaf coffee was weaker than the regular coffee even with using the full recommended number of Tablespoons. I was able to equalize it by using 2 coffee filters to slightly slow down the drip without adding bitterness, and yes, use the Bunn filters. They are just a bit taller.Some people objected to the water heater running when not in use. I compromise and turn the water heater off after all the morning coffees have been brewed and turn it on again in the evening when I would normally be setting up my older auto brew drip coffee maker.The set up is clear in the “quick” set up instruction, regular instructions, and taped warnings on the unit itself to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before you plug it in. The water reservoir needs to be filled completely before you plug it in.The pour spout on the carafe is a bit odd looking, but it works, so not an issue.All in all I am satisfied with this coffee maker. With the correct grinds, it produces hot, smooth coffee and it looks good on the counter😊
