I'd like to think we just got a lemon. <br /> <br />As you pour water into the top filter, whether the machine is on or off, or the filter closed or open doesn't matter. The machine starts brewing anyway, and spills coffee everywhere. <br /> <br />The pot is poorly designed, and also spills coffee EVERY single time. I think we've spent more on paper towels than we have on coffee. Awful machine. Rating: 1 / 5 I bought this for our office and I think its universally hated. I’d like to think we just got a lemon.

From time to time, you will get vapor-lock in the small transfer tube. A bubble will form, preventing the water from transferring. If you wash the carafee in the dish washer every single use, you'll have enough residual Jetdry to overcome the surface tension and let water flow. <br /> <br />If it had a greater pressure differential (adding another 4 inches of height to the unit), it would be able to overcome the surface tension of the water without the "assumption" that most customers use automatic dish washers with surfactant aid, and they wash the carafe after every use (I rinse it daily, wash it weekly). <br /> <br />The storage tanks are meant to be left on constantly, with a thermal switch to turn them off when the water is heated to its rated temperature. This results in a maker that is best suited to heavy use, such as in a restaurant, where the transfer tubes are always wet. The "hotplate" has it's own switch, but can only be used when the main switch is on for the tanks. The brewed coffee is a little "cleaner", without as much oil residue on the surface. This is partly due to the lower temperature of the water in comparison to normal machines. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />A good idea, just a very poor design. Rated 1-star because it is not a reliable design for anything other than constant use, such as in a restaurant, even though it's labeled as a residental-use model. A French-press, or standard vapor-driven brewer is more reliable. Rating: 1 / 5 The design uses hydrostatic pressure to move the water through the chambers.

However, when you pour a cup of coffee, it drips on the cabinet. I would not buy this product again. I don't think it is worth the price and I am very disappointed.BUNN NHBX-B Contemporary 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, Black Rating: 2 / 5 The Bunn coffeemaker provides coffee within 3-4 minutes, which is great.

You see I purchased this for a Birthday present for my Mother. And I wanted the one with the warmer on the bottom. But, she said it was ok. I didn't want the hassel to return it either. So I guess it is ok. Rating: 2 / 5 Well…This isn’t really what I wanted. You see I purchased this for a Birthday present for my Mother. And I wanted the one with the warmer on the bottom.
