Product Description
This unit offers BUNN brewing perfection with the Classic, stainless steel accented design that customers have loved for years. Patterned after BUNN's commercial & restaurant brewing systems, this home brewer puts high quality materials and classic brewing technology into one great package. The stainless-steel tank holds the brew water at approximately 200˚F, the temperature required to extract the maximum flavor from coffee. The patented BUNN brewing system showers the water over the ground coffee using a specially designed sprayhead to create optimum turbulence in the funnel for just the right amount of time. As a result, BUNN home brewers produce 10 cups of perfect coffee in about 3 minutes --- less than half the time of most regular coffee makers. This combination of "time, temperature & turbulence" is the hallmark of BUNN's home brewing system --- and something unavailable in any other home brewer. This is a high-altitude version of the BUNN thermal home brewer with stainless steel vacuum insulated carafe and stainless accents. Specially engineered thermostat for use above 5,000 ft. The following states have the corresponding number of cities in which use of a high altitude version is recommended.

Pretty Good - Experience Some Flaws Thought
By B. Jones
We bought this particular model because we want our coffee to brew fast and wanted an insulated pot to avoid coffee cooking or forgetting to turn off the burner. It would be an exact fit for our requirements if not for a few quality flaws. First, as with another Bunn we recently owned, the water releases into the grounds in such a way that they splash up the side and a little bit out of the grounds basket - creating a mess you don't have with other brands. (We've tried different methods to prevent this but they don't work consistently.) Also, where the top black piece of the pot assembly is supposed to be sealed with the chrome portion, there is not a tight seal so when you pour a cup of coffee it dribbles out of the seal which makes a mess. (No we haven't dropped it or put it in the dishwasher - this started within the first few days of use.) Summary: Was willing to pay the high price to get the features and company name behind this product initially but the quality of the build is disappointing. Thought the quality problem with my first Bunn purchase was perhaps a one-time thing. Considering this second quality problem with a Bunn purchase, I will not be buying any future products from them.

I love my BUNN!
By Patricia J. Kraus
I wasn't thrilled about plunking down $150 for a coffee pot, especially after reading the reviews about how they leak. I guess I was one of the lucky ones or BUNN has fixed their leaking problem. My coffee pot works perfectly. This is the best coffee pot I've ever owned. I have coffee on all day long and I was getting tired of throwing out old coffee. With this pot, the coffee stays hot all day without that burnt taste. I'll probably save money in the long run since I'm not throwing coffee out. I am very fussy about my coffee and as soon as it is the least bit old, i won't drink it. Ever since my first Bunn, I have not used any other coffee pot. I can't even drink coffee that comes from another pot. I don't know why it makes such good coffee, but it's just awesome, not to mention that by the time I get my cup and put the cream in, the coffee is done. Bottom line: This coffee pot makes the best coffee, it makes it FAST, and it stays hot all day. I just had to write this review because I am thrilled with my coffee pot.

Bunn BTX-B(D)
By T. Kuzior
I am quite pleased with my new coffee maker. It does everything it says it will, hot coffee, prepared in less than 6 minutes, and the warming carafe keeps my coffee hot for hours. The complaint about the carafe dripping/leaking when pouring coffee is not occurring with my unit. Make sure you buy the filters, when you buy the maker. They're a bit more difficult to locate locally than I anticipated.
