I have had 3, yes 3 coffee makers in the past 2 years. A mill and brew, a Krupps, some other quite nice machines. Every time I would go to my parents house I was amazed by how good the coffee tasted out of that plain, 7 year old, simplistic looking Bunn my parents owned. I tried the same coffee grinds, filters and all on mine, taste was awful in comparison. Through my powers of deduction (I know, I know, call me Captian Obvious) I determined it was the coffee machine rather than the ingredients that was the culprit. I ordered the Bunn NHBX-B as it has more contemporary styling and was pleased to see despite the face lift the taste has not changed one bit. Delicious. And all in 3 minutes time. I will never purchase another coffee machine, see you later Starbucks drive-through.
