BUNN VPR 12-Cup Commercial Coffee Brewer, 2 Warmers

When my old 12-cup Bunn finally quit working earlier this year, I "downgraded" to their 10-cup machine. After all, the old unit had served me for 30 years, and at my age I know I won't have another 30 years, lol! Well, I use a fine-ground Guatemalan coffee - and the grounds are so fine that they would overflow the basket because of the lower flow and smaller basket.... So, after about a month of trying to "game" the coffee pot to make it work without success, I went back to this 12-cup. Problem solved, and I'm once again a happy camper! I love the quick brew time the pre-heated water provides me, and it once again allows me to enjoy the rich, full flavor of my Guatamalan java!!! Yes, you DO pay more for the unit - but I'm confident that I'll never have to buy another! One tip - if at all possible, supply the unit with SOFT water - we built a new house in 2004, and installed a full-line water softener. For the next 21 YEARS, I never once had to descale the system!!

An excellent machine with simple setup instructions that doe not take up too much space. It is well built and I am certain it will last a long time. The only down side was the fairly high price.
