CSB3TD Speed Brew High Altitude Coffee Maker, 10 Cup, Stainless Steel

My 2nd Bunn Coffee maker, only because I wanted the thermal carafe instead of the hot plate. Brews a hot pot in just 4 minutes and keeps it perfect temperature for the roughly 1.5 hours that I drink coffee. Also, I switched back to the Bunn papers filters (from Gold Tone reusable) - it does improve the taste. If you are brewing full pots (as I do), use the taller Bunn filter to prevent overflow.

the one thing that i'm still on the fence about: the water tank is plastic. i'm undecided on how i feel about the water being heated constantly in a plastic tank. our commercial version at work is metal and i'd really prefer that. but it is enormous. this coffee maker is comparable in size to most others. this replaced a cuisinart 10 cup with carafe. the start button stopped making contact inside the unit (this was the second coffee maker that had the same issue over a few years' time). after a bit of research i am very glad i picked this up. brew time is crazy quick. after the first fill of the reservoir the heater takes about fifteen minutes to have your first pot ready. i've read a few complaints about the heater being too loud. honestly, i don't think it is any louder than a regular coffee pot in the brewing process. it is nice that there is no steam to ruin the underside of the cabinets. i have pulled the unit about two inches from the wall so that i can easily pour water into the lid. be very mindful that once you've added the water into the lid, do not close that lid until you have replaced the pot! you will make a mess immediately. i guess you can spring for the fancy water pitcher but there is really no need. it comes with filters but i purchased melitta filters (8 - 12 cup) and they hold the coffee better. the original filters let the coffee grounds ride up just a little too close to the top. keeps coffee hot for at least six hours. i dig this machine... update (nov 24) i have to correct myself - this speed brew has a stainless steel tank that keeps the water hot. i was under the (wrong) impression that it was plastic. had i really looked at the deets to this machine i would have seen that. i don't know why some people have an absolute mess of grounds when they brew. i have never had that issue. my filters are shown pre and post brew. my hario ceramic grinder takes longer to grind than the bunn takes to brew. and i'm ok with the "workout." something important to point out is that you MUST replace the pot before you close the lid. it starts brewing immediately and you'll make a mess if it isn't there. also, you cannot "prefill" the tank (like the night before) and simply close the lid when ready (like in the morning). the tank will not continue to keep the water at 200 overnight and you wind up with lukewarm coffee. i did this once and i learned my lesson. frankly, you can't say that filling it right before you use it can be an inconvenience. it brews so quickly that whatever time you think you lost by not having a timer or it being set up the night before is moot. i've seen other reviews comment about the plastic housing being cheap or not flashy. i disagree. last thing to add - i use it daily, full pot. about every three or four months i will notice that it takes a few minutes longer to brew. that's when i descale with vinegar and water. lengthy process but totally worth it. hope this helps and you wind up buying this.

Love, love, love my BUNN coffee maker. I've used BUNN for many years!! No timer needed , makes a piping hot carafe pot full of coffee in just 3 minutes!! There is a reason most restaurants use BUNN, think about it!! Love the insulated carafe that keeps coffee hot for hours!! You cant lose with the 3 year warranty!! Highly recommended!! Don't let the price deter you, from experience mine generly lasts a minimum of 5 years!! If your on the fence about it, dont be.....buy yours today! You'll be glad you did!!

I have tried many different coffee pots and never completely happy with any of them. I debated when buying this one and I shouldn't have. My mom always had a Bun when I was growing up and I finally just caved and gave it a try after my last coffee pot died only 3 months after I bought it. This was one had a sleeker look than the one I remember growing up and I was interested how the thermos would work. The machine itself works just like I expected. No fancy operations. Just add your filter and coffee, pour the water in, and done. Almost instantly coffee starts brewing and it is hot. The thermos keeps it at that hot temp for about an hour and then it keeps it warm for a while after that. I wish it would keep it hotter longer, but is probably too much to ask and unrealistic. Even thou it brews the coffee fast, the coffee taste great! One of the best I have had and I have tried a lot of different coffee pots from cheap to expensive. I like how I can control how strong the coffee is as well verses something like the K cups. I also love the way it looks on my kitchen counter. I wipe it off and rinse it out at the end of the day to clean it and it still looks new even after using it for for a couple months.

This coffee machine looks and feels like a BUNN machine I see in the local delis. It's very easy to set up and use, but I feel the product could be improved a bit. See below: 1. The temperature of the coffee is nowhere close to the heat of deli/starbks coffee - its at the most lukewarm, with temperatures hovering around 100 º Fahrenheit/ 50 º Celsius for brewed coffee, as measured just now. Since the machine is supposed to be left 'ON' all the time and has a metal reservoir, it should be an easy fix for BUNN to increase the ambient temperature of the coffee water to scalding hot or above 100 º Celsius. 2. Unlike the deli BUNN machine, this doesn't have a heating plate for the stainless steel flask. Which means, you pretty much need to brew a fresh cup every time you want coffee, as the stainless steel flask rapidly loses temperature of the brewed coffee. All in all, its a good machine, but could do with higher coffee temperature (100 º C or thereabouts) and also sorely needs a hot plate. UPDATE 12/2/2024: I wish BUNN offered a buy-back/trade-in so that I can send this in and replace it with one of BUNNs newer, more premium models. I have had enough of lukewarm coffee with the CSBT3....!!

If you love precision, this machine is not for you. A few things you should know: 1. There's no measuring lines in the carafe to measure how much liquid is in it. It's a steel carafe, so that makes total sense. When filling the water reservoir with the carafe, I usually have to either add a bit more water or dump out extra water to get to the desired fill line. Lots of trips to the sink. After a few weeks of using it daily, I got a feel for how much brewed coffee is left in the pot by weight. 2. The machine is constantly on. To brew coffee, I fill the water reservoir and close the water reservoir lid. Once the lid closes, it brews, and there's no stopping the brews until its done. It happens fast too! Within 3 seconds the coffee is pouring. God gorbid I accidently close the lid before the carafe is underneath it. 3. Since the machine is constantly on, the water in the tank is being heated and its evaporating. During weekdays I add the same amount of water with the carafe (I can't be precise though, so I eyeball it and go by the weight feeling) to the 8-cup mark. But on one occasion I left for the weekend, forgetting to shut this machine off, and on Monday it took double the water to make up for the evaporated water. Lesson learned: Always turn it off before heading out for more than a couple days. Other than that, it's so quick to brew and quiet. I love it, but I can see how some precision lovers wouldn't like it at all.

La ventaja del equipo es que se puede usar constantemente y además que la jarra termo puede guardar el cafe y no se enfria y te puede durar 2 horas sin que pierda su temperatura.

Bunn quality like expected. Would definitely recommend

I purchased this model to replace my Bunn velocity brew, which I had previously owned for about 10 years. I wanted the update of the thermal carafe to stop throwing away coffee that has been on the burner too long. This coffee maker makes excellent coffee very quickly - full pot brews in about 3 1/2 minutes. The carafe works very well to keep my coffee very hot for two hours and drinkably hot for up to 4 hours. I am very pleased with this product and love Bunn coffee makers in general. I had my doubts about the ability of the carafe to keep coffee hot, but no worries - the coffee stays hot and I am throwing away a lot less coffee now. Love it very much.

muy buena cafetera, altamente recomendada
