I've had mine since 1998! Still going strong. Tired of burning through cheapie pkastic drip coffee makers? I was. This is greatresturant coffee anytime. It works as well today 2011 as it did when I took it out of the box! It keeps the water inside hot by reheating it periodically. Don't worry you'll never notice it on your electric bill. Well made built to last. The VP17 is made to fit under wall mounted kitchen cabinets. It comes with plastic pitcher for water. I use about 1/4 of the pitcher for one cup mug of coffee and about 2 scoops of ground coffee.
commercial quality I was replacing my 'home' coffee maker every couple of years for different reasons. The reservoir and heater are simple the basket to hold ground coffee the pot to catch the brewed coffee were all simple enough. Something happens to any of those components there are no replacement parts available throw it away and buy another. I still have four carafes someplace. So many of the home consumer coffee makers whether $20 or $100 go out of style and manufacture very quick. If you find one you like and need to replace it there's a good chance you cannot get the same one after a year or two. Golly I said not exactly no more consumer coffee makers for me.I found a used VP171. It was missing a spray head carafes and filter basket. I scrubbed it clean replaced the missing items for less than $25. A few pots run through with some Brew Rite and white vinegar along with the snake and it was good as new. I got a schematic and list of all the parts. All the parts are available for replacement too. The design has not changed for years save for decals and the pourover lid. Oh mine does have an On/Off switch in the back.I use a quartercup measuring cup as my scoop. Three 'fat' scoops is what I use when brewing Dunkin Donut coffee whether the ground or whole bean version. I have used other brands of coffee off the shelf stuff from the grocery stores and pricier gourmet mixes. The canned coffees are disappointing keeping some for justincase is the only reason I have any of it. I use a gallon water jug with two fill lines drawn one for a pot of water and the second is enough for a pot of coffee and the extra cup or so that is held by the grounds. The town water is treated so I use Brita filtered water to keep out that swimming pool effect.The VP17 pourover delivers consistent hot well brewed coffee. I pour in the water and three minutes later I have what I want. Usually three or four pots of coffee are made daily here. To minimize waste or stale coffee I use a thermal carafe to keep it hot/viable for hours.
Bunn Coffee Brewer I can't really comment on the quality of the coffee this machine makes as someone I know purchased this thing for their home. But they made a trial batch and it seemed to be very good. The instructions are mildly confusing as there is no off switch. The way this machine works is that you leave it *unplugged* the first time you fill it. You fill it with 2 & 1/2 carafes of cold water. 1/2 will spill out as per the instructions. *Then* you plug it in. When you're ready to make coffee setup your grounds filter and whatnot. Then pour a carafe of cold water into the top. Put your empty carafe on the warmer plate really fast and water will flow out almost immediately the coffee is done in a couple of minutes it's really fast.The reason there is no ON or OFF switch because the initial reservoir is kept warm in the machine at all times and the machine just sits there 24/7 happily keeping the reservoir water warm until you're ready to use it. When you put a fresh carafe of cold water in the unit the cold water is mixed with the rest of the water in the tank. As the tank can only store 2 carafes of water the coffee maker is activated when it senses that the water temp has dropped or displaced or something the water is then reheated to the proper temperature and it just makes coffee. The cold water is the switch to make coffee. I have no idea if you can make less than 1 carafe of coffee.The warmer plate switch red switch does not need to be on to make coffee as it seems to work independently of the coffee making part. ie It's just a switch for the warming plate. That's all it does.
Bunn Coffee Brewer I purchased this coffee brewer for the office. We previously bought the $99.00 Bunn's from various shopping centers and they just didn't last and had overflow problems regularly. Since purchasing this one I have not heard any complaints and everyone in the office thinks it's absolutly wonderful.I gave it 4 stars mainly because we have only had it for a month.
No Pot??? This product makes terrific coffee and is easy to clean and care for. It's all stainless parts are what enticed us to this pricey coffee maker. Guess what? For $250.
commercial machine lasts forever I have had this unit since 1997 it should last forever.We use it for making iced tea and coffee at least once but mostly twice a day.We have it on a $15.00 appliance timer so the water is not heated between 10pm and 6am it only takes15 mins to heat up the tank if it is off I make coffee at 630am it takes 5 minsto make a pot I can make as little as 4 cups then I turn it off till the evening whenwe make tea. I got tired of buying the $20 coffee pots that only last a year.
Made In America. Made to last! It's expensive. It stays on all the time but it will be the last coffee maker your will ever buy. I purchased a bigger model for the office and made the mistake of ordering the Plastic/metal pots for that product. They are hard to clean though hard to break. With this product for home I purchased glass pots. I would recommend the glass pots for this product. They are well made of treated glass and made in Germany. If you break them it's easy to order another. They are much easier to clean and safe to put in the dishwasher. I Got two pots for insurance.Hard waterno problem the maker comes with a root rooter device to ream out the stainless steel tubing.Made in the USA! Made to last.
