Hi Guys, today I’m reviewing the Bunn Velocity Brew Coffee Maker. This unit brews 4 to 10 cups or 20 to 50 ounces in 3 to 4 minutes.

At 14.3 inches tall, 7.1 inches wide and 13.8 inches deep, it is large and will take up some counter space. Any restaurant you visit, will have a Bunn Industrial coffee maker and that’s what Bunn is known for. This coffee maker is designed and assembled in the USA. Of course some of the parts are from other countries like most “designed and assembled in the USA” products. The look of this coffee maker is very industrial, it’s not compact and pretty like a lot of home coffee makers. This unit stands out from most other coffee makers because of it’s stainless steel hot water tank. Just about every other coffee maker available today has a plastic tank. The carafe is glass and has this weird looking spout with a plastic piece but that prevents dripping and actually works well. The warming plate is porcelain coated. The unit comes with an instruction manual, this descaling tool. Paper filters are included - looks like 30 or 40 maybe. With most coffee makers, you only get a few filters if any at all.
With standard coffee makers, you pour in water, put the coffee grounds in, turn the unit to on and it brews. The Bunn is a little different. If you want six cups of coffee, you can’t just pour 6 cups of water in the tank and it will brew. The tank needs to have about a carafe of water in it. That water stays hot as long as the machine is left on. When you want to brew, put the coffee in, pour in the 6 cups of cold water and 6 cups of hot water from the tank will pour over the coffee and into the carafe. When the lid is closed, this little piece acts as a mechanical valve plunger. The machine keeps the water in the tank hot so it’s ready to brew at any time.
To make coffee, put the coffee in the basket first. I’m using one of the included filters. Then pour in 6 cups of cold water. I’m using filtered water because my tap water is awful. Don’t close the lid. Put the carafe on the warming plate making sure it’s centered. Turn the warmer switch on. Now close the lid. Water comes out almost instantly. If you close the lid before putting the carafe on the plate, you could have a mess. So the 6 cups of coffee brewed in 2 1/2 minutes. The coffee is extremely hot. There’s no dripping while pouring so the carafe is designed well. Tastes very good.
You have to remember to shut off the coffee maker, it doesn’t shut itself off after a while like some other machines. There’s no programming at all - you can’t set it ahead of time to make coffee in the morning. There is no way to tell how much water is in the tank. Some of the water left in the tank could evaporate. If you’re traveling or not going to be using the unit for a long time, drain the water in the tank by turning the unit upside down.
The glass carafe and brew funnel should be cleaned after each use. It is dishwasher safe top shelf only, I prefer to hand wash it. Wipe down the unit with a damp cloth when you need to. Every 3 months, clean the sprayhead tube. A deep cleaning should be done every 3 months and there are detailed instructions in the manual.
This is an extremely basic machine that is simple to operate with just one button. I like that there is no smell of plastic that you get from many other coffee makers. Since there is hot water in the tank at all times, you could use it for hot tea or making oatmeal in the morning, it’s like instant hot water. If you drink a cup of coffee in the morning and that’s it, then this unit wouldn’t make sense for you. I would recommend this for people who drink a lot of coffee or those with a family of coffee drinkers. The coffee brews quickly, is very hot and tastes good.
