Brew 3-4/5 gallons of coffee per hour with this commercial-quality 12-cup coffee machine. The completely portable pour-over unit requires no plumbing--just pour cold water in the top and coffee brews immediately. Two separately controlled warmers allow for brewing one batch while having a second ready to serve or for making both decaf and regular available to guests.

Other highlights include internal components made from durable stainless steel, a stable stainless-steel base, simple controls, and an easy-to-clean design. Please note that the decanters for this unit (Bunn 6100 and 6101 Easy Pour) are sold separately. The 1575-watt coffee brewer measures 8 by 16-1/5 by 20-2/3 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Bunn may last my lifetime August 10, 2009

By Brian J. Buehler

About 15 years ago, I purchased a Bunn home duty coffee maker and found it to be excellent. After about 5 years of nearly daily use, it started to get a little finicky so I took it apart in an attempt to clean the hot water chamber. Turned out the sealing parts are not really made to be taken apart after 5 years of use and then go back together.

In a quest for a new Bunn, I found that the VPR cost about double what the home version cost so.... 10 years later, the Bunn VPR is still going strong and has helped out at family events serving large groups of people (just what the machine is designed for!). Despite having water poured into the bottom heat plate (don't try to pour water in without a carafe in place), it still works perfectly!

A hint to those who make coffee only on the weekends: the design of the Bunn is that it is a small hot water tank and keeps a couple gallons of water hot and ready to go at all times. This will use some electricity and I've taken to putting a towel over the top of mine to help insulate and lower energy usage. Additionally, being hot all the time, water will evaporate. If going more than a couple days without making coffee, it's best to pour a pitcher of water in (with the filter basket empty and a carafe ready to catch the hot water) to top off the tank and then make a pot with coffee after it has reheated the reservoir.

If by some Act of God, my Bunn stops working, I will not hesitate to purchase another Commercial Bunn for what is essentially personal, home use. If you love coffee and can tolerate the price, this is a great choice for a coffee brewer!

5.0 out of 5 stars When you want the best, buy the commercial Bunn December 21, 2010

By Trailboss

I have worked in the foodservice industry for years, and the Bunn has always been the standard by which commercial coffeemakers are judged. Years ago, I decided to buy the consumer version for my home, and although it served me well, it eventually wore out and I wanted something better and sprang for the VPR. One nice feature of the Bunn is that you can unscrew the sprayhead, leave the filter basket off and you can instantly have a couple of pots of very hot water available for recipes. I typically buy the gallon size Lipton tea bags, put one in a decanter, run a decanter of water through and let it steep for about 10-15 minutes and add enough water to make a gallon, people love my Iced tea.
If you do unscrew the sprayhead, set it in the screened inlet where you pour the water into the maker, so that you don't inadvertently start a pot of coffee without the sprayhead in place. I did get a steal of a deal on mine new on ebay for $100.00...

We purchased our Coffee Brewer to replace our older model of the same make for our VERY active Senior Center. With clubs, excerise classes, art, and card games, the coofee flows all day long! We have found this Coffee Brewer by BUNN, a workhorse that can put up with the demand 8hrs and day 5 days a week for years! Thanks BUNN for exceptional quality!!
