Just an anecdote about Bunn: My dad had a Bunn at his house that he bought two decades prior that suddenly stopped heating. He got on an appliance repair website asking if anyone knew how to fix a Bunn coffeemaker that stopped heating and a Bunn employee responded to him in private messages to have him ship the 20 year old coffee maker to them so they could inspect the method of failure and they shipped him a brand new one free of charge the same day. Incredible customer support.

[@JohnR9965]

[@GJ-fe3bh]

@@BroMark1611 Agreed! The filters are worth it. Bunn may not keep the coffee as hot as the rest but you don’t want your coffee even hotter than when it was brewing because that means it is cooking. You don’t want that 😅, or well I don’t.

Been using the BUNN coffee maker in my family for over 25 years now and my whole family swears by it. The advantage of the shape of the pouring spout is not really at high speed pouring, but low speed "getting close to the top of the cup" pour.

Another great video, Todd. I still remember when my mom bought our first "Mr. Coffee" back in the '70s. That thing worked great and lasted 20+ years. These days, those fancy and expensive Keurig coffe makers are very finicky, and we're lucky if they last 2 years, if that long. Unfortunately, this has just become a "disposable" world filled with mediocre products that have planned obsolescence. 😕

[@goodun2974]

Our first Keurig lasted 4 years; the second one lasted 2 years. The third one lasted 4 months! I filed a report with Keurig, sent them pictures of the serial number and receipt; they said they'd replace it but they never did despite a followup phone call. We went back to a drip type coffee machine (Cuisinart).

My parents got a Mr. Coffee in the 70s, and the heating element finally burned out about 10 years ago. About 35 years of daily use isn't too bad. The Keurig my wife bought in 2005 made it to 2012 before it was not economically repairable.

[@Gripen047]

One of the reasons why I went with a Technovorm Moccamaster is that they are repairable. The company still has parts for machines that are 40+ years old. Though expensive (currently ~$350), mine's 8 years old and still going strong. Meanwhile, my in-laws buy cheap and are on their 3rd or 4th in the same time frame. Buy once, cry once.

[@justmyself1000]

On the pot capacity...it's not exaggerating....it's bearing false witness...This was a great review and amazing that engineers not only can't measure properly...but can't design a spout that doesn't dribble! Another thing to look for is replacement carafes. Those glass carafes break easy and some don't carry replacements. There are some universal carafes....but they don't fit all. Another thing is how easy it can be cleaned. A coffee make that is not cleaned well gets build up which affects the taste of the coffee and even affect the heating element. Important to clean the water reservoir. The reservoir may look clean...but wipe it down periodically and you'll see it might not be. Thank You for this! What I like is I'm hoping manufacturers will take notice and do a better job based on your great channel!

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome!

[@keisreeman]

Glass spouts must be tricky to form, because so many spill when you pour. Especially if you pour fast when they are full. Glass batter bowls and measuring cups have the same issue.

[@mlconley]

Some good tests but I would add the technovorm moccamaster - it's worth every penny. Also, brew temperature should be between 195 & 205 degrees during the entire brew cycle. Most start too cool and finish too hot. Too cool will give under-extracted coffee tasting like wood. Too hot will give over-extracted coffee which will be astringent and harsh. Brew temp can be measured with thermocouplers between the shower head and coffee grounds.

[@Otto_Irving]

Technivorm Moccamaster is a surpring omission. Well known and very well respected premium coffee maker. Also the Makita is a jobsite model, comparing to these stationary kitchen counter models is comparing apples and oranges.

[@faust82]

While it has been the go-to coffee maker here in Europe for longer than I have lived, I think they have fairly limited market penetration in the US. The Moccamaster is basically unchanged mechanically since it was first designed. When you nail it on the first try, it's sort of hard to "Innovate" 😄

[@JimmyNewCakes]

The Moccamaster is really a different category of brewer that wouldn't fit in with these. It's one of several SCA Certified Home Brewers, which have standards of temperature control, flow rate, and dispersion to be tightly controlled in order to get the certification. Everything on that list would be more appropriate to be it's own video, plus a few outside contenders that are trying to emulate those designs for less money.

[@teferi456]

@@JimmyNewCakes If the Bunn can be on this list then one of the Bonavita brewers could've been there too. Realistically they're not on there because he didn't know any better. It's arguable that a lot of machines aren't certified because of the cost to do so too. e.g. it'd be hard to argue that Fellow's new batch brewer is worse than the Moccamaster considering how bad the shower head on the Moccamaster is.

[@erics7712]

[@chiefsilverback]

A fan can't cool a room down on its own, all it can do is move the warm air around the room and that movement of air works with your body's evaporative cooling mechanism to cool you down. If anything a fan technically increases the heat in the room because the motor will produce some heat as it runs.

Having worked in the commercial coffee repair industry, and now own a Bunn velocity brewer myself for home (purchased at walmart 7+years ago) -- it's a great machine but you must follow one simple rule: add more coffee grounds per brew cycle. BUT, the tradeoff is great as it is far smoother tasting than the other style brewers by design. It has a tank heated to 200f all the time and delivers consistent brew head temp, rather than the other splatter types that jump up and down in temperature. Try one and see!

I've got a Bunn BTX, and it makes the best coffee of any maker I've ever owned. Not only does it brew a pot in about 2 minutes, but uses very hot water. The BTX brews directly into a thermos type pot, and doesn't have a coffee warmer. Keeps the coffee hot for about four hours, but I transfer it into a thermos...

[@ProjectFarm]

[@burnitdwn]

I have the same Thermal Carrafe Bunn BTX as @Backroad_Junkie. I've been using it for many years. Its my favorite coffee maker by far. I wonder if allowing more time for the tank to heat would have resulted in a higher temperature for the Bunn. My guess is 15 minutes is the minimum time to get an acceptable cup, but, letting it sit for 20 or 30 minutes might have gotten it closer to 200 degrees F. Bunn uses proprietary filters. I wonder if using the wrong filter might have caused the coffee to flow wrong out of the filter basket? In any case, this was a fun video to watch. Cheers!

[@LRK-GT]

Speaking from (family) experiences through childhood [only had Bunn coffeemakers in the home until I got older] The Bunn's design is very effective and convenient BUT, they get mineral build-up faster/worse than a 'cheapie' auto-drip maker. Speaking of mineral fouling: When a Mr. Coffee was $18-25, I absolutely would 'choose' to do the 'stupid consumer thing' and just replace it when it *eventually* got fouled with minerals. Why? 3/5 times I've cleaned a fouled up Mr. Coffee, the heating element dies. [FYI, using RO water, it can take well over a year before performance is degraded]. Now, that a Mr. Coffee is $30+, I just switched to a $9-12 smaller WalMart generic unit that, brews less coffee but faster. Most days just 1 '5cup' pot is fine; when it isn't, I just plop in another batch.

[@cpufrost]

@@LRK-GTOur tap water has 95 TDS due to it being acid (well water) and requiring a neutralizer. It will scale up coffee pots and ice makers quickly. To combat that we use RODI water in both. Never need to clean them because of this. Most tap water is going to have minerals in it. Even the water straight out of the well is around 35 and deer park bottled water tests around 20.

The Bunn is a great coffee maker if used very often. It brews so fast because it keeps the water hot in a heated tank so it doesn’t have to heat cold water to brew a pot. My only concern would be how good would that water be if kept hot for several days? I also much prefer paper filters opposed to permanent filters. The permanent filters often get grounds in my coffee that I don’t like. Bravo Todd!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@TgWags69]

It can be an issue if you have hard water or rust. After several days the water will discolor as well as boiling off. If you are going to be away more than 3 days, turn it off. If you're only gonna be gone a few days, just run a pot of fresh water through it and let it heat for 15 minutes or so and then run your pot of coffee. If used every day it shouldn't be a problem. I've switched to using distilled water in mine. I add a pinch of Redmond salt in the grounds to add minerals into the coffee so it keeps it out of the heating coils.

[@smacfe]

Have tried a bunch of coffee makers over the years at home and at work and I have found the Ninja to be the best of the bunch as well. The great feature that wasn't mentioned is that the water tank is removeable so you can take it to the faucet and fill it. Very convenient. It also has a small brew cycle that really makes a difference. Another great review!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.

[@MrMasterFlash]

I know a lot about this stuff. The most important factor in making good coffee is water temperature. You want to over 200f. when the water makes contact with the grounds. The ninja might be producing that when the water makes contact with the coffee, cooling when it hits the pot. The very best drip coffee makers like, those made by Mocamaster, heat it to the perfect temperature and then use a pump. With all these cheaper ones, the water rides on top of steam bubbles and spurts on on top. The narrower the tube, the lower the temperature needed to make this happen. I'm surprised the Ninja can do this with its hotter temperature, as the steam bubbles start happening well before boiling, so you need a pump to make it happen at hotter temperatures. Keurig-type coffee makers use a pump for the opposite reason. They can pump much colder water, making the process cooler, but the temperature is way too low--like 165 or so. (They also use less grounds than needed, so the coffee is watery. They make terrible coffee.) The final chart leaves out temperature, and brew time, which are directly related to the extraction of solids. What you want is for the coffee to extract the solids, but not be in contact with the beans long enough to extract the bitter oils. (This happens after the water is in contact with the ground for more than 3 minutes or so). In terms of making the best coffee, then one with the hottest temperature, and a total brew time of less than 3 minutes after the water starts pouring over the beans, would be the winner.

[@TroyTopham]

Agreed

[@mediocreman2]

Sure, but it's difficult to measure taste scientifically. Especially with only one person. I have also read about brew times, however my stovetop percolated coffee brews for around 7 minutes, and somehow it's one of my favorite flavors of coffee.

[@g.tucker8682]

For those who prefer to use a press, the AeroPress is outstanding. It uses a paper (or stainless) filter, so you can use a fine grind without having 'mud' in the bottom of your cup. Well priced and made in USA. The easiest change you can do to improve your coffee is grind the beans fresh for each brew cycle. Next, control the water temp. Hotter water increases boldness but also bitterness.

[@bobbylibertini]

Precisely! I'm not much of a coffee drinker (Only occasional) but when I make a cup, I use a French press and my Zassenhaus hand grinder... It pays to make it good, and it's easy enough. These drip coffee-makers are certainly not made for bachelors like me. 12 cups! I'm lucky if I drink 12 cups in a month!

[@patmancrowley8509]

I grind just before each pot. It really makes the difference. I quit buying the pre-ground coffee years ago. I use 8 o'clock coffee now. Love it! And the cooking temperature makes the difference too. 195 degrees F to 205 degrees F is best for brewing. 160 degrees F for maintaining a hot pot. These temps prevent the bad oils and flavors from coming out. I'm 17 minutes into the video and haven't seen these issues addressed, yet. Still hoping.

I appreciate all your hard work. But, visiting some coffee shops and specialty coffee websites over ten years informed me that the best brewing temp is ~200*. The best brew time is ~3min. And, "Drip" is usually the desired method. Several makers combine all these features. I have used a Bunn Velocity (with spray dispersal) machine for ~10 years, but there are others. Grinding beans is better than keeping grounds, even when stored air-tight. It takes two additional minutes. You saved 5 min on brew time. Not only that, but the grind matters. When my Mr. Coffee grinder broke down, I gave in to the coffee gurus. I now have a conical burr grinder that makes a small, but recognizable improvement in taste. I fully understand that the most important thing is the caffeine, and I may have come a little close to fanatic, but I'm not alone. Most of us appreciate a good cup of coffee. Isn't that why you did the video? When the information is taken as a group of features, one may find that a couple of choices makes the difference for them. A person that is short on time, may go with pre-ground coffee and a drip machine. But, brewing at 200* with a short brew time (nobody will complain) is optimal. While your test may show concentration of particulates, it didn't detect which particulates, bitterness, or degradation-of-taste over time. I would never leave a pot on a warmer for an hour! A warming plate is a no-no for most coffee enthusiasts, it would be better to get a stainless steel carafe and drink within 30 minutes. I think sales support that people would be happier getting a "cup-at-a-time" solution, rather than drink old coffee. Tip for (slightly) extending coffee - salting the grounds or adding salt to the later cups will help the flavor. Thanks, again, for all your hard work. I think Bunn would gladly send you a "Velocity" brewer, if asked. Buy once, cry once.

3m by far

[@tookitogo]

3M alone has dozens and dozens of different double-sided tapes, and there’s a reason for this: no one tape is the best at everything. Different ones are optimized for different materials, different environments, different cost points, permanence-vs-removability, chemical compatibility, etc. Some are designed to be strong with regard to peel strength, others for shear strength. Some (especially the ones for consumers) sacrifice strength in favor of easy handling. So in a way, a comparison for “the best double sided tape” is pointless, because the results are kinda meaningless. On the other hand, if it’s “what is the best tape for [very specific situation]?” one can come up with some really good tests and results.

[@Scottyswin]

[@ProjectFarm]

[@ColeSloth]

This is probably the biggest "miss" I've ever seen come out of project farms. The only relevant information was capacity, messiness, 1 hour temp check, and brew time. Hotter brew does not equal better coffee, but it was treated as if it does. Time it takes to brew is also a bell curve when it comes to taste. Being the quickest or slowest does not mean it's the best tasting. There was no check for how complete the grounds were evenly being saturated with the water, which many coffee makers do a poor job of. The solids ppm was treated like more equals better, even though caffeine wouldn't show up as a measured solid, and the chemicals in coffee beans have different levels of being easily soluble in water. For instance, caffeine is more easily brought out of coffee grounds than the chlorogenic acid lactones that make it bitter, so brewing too long can make it bitter, but brewing too short can make it taste flat or a bit sour. The "sweet spot" always varies depending on how course/fine your coffee is, so a machine may make bad coffee with one brand with a finer grind, while making good coffee with a course grind. Generally, drip coffee makers are designed to use coarse ground coffees (like a bucket of cheap folgers coffee) and they almost always over brew by taking too long. Chances are, if you were to take all these machines here and did a blind taste test, handing everyone their cup when the coffee is at 165f, people would pick the Bunn as being the best tasting. Coffee that takes over 5 minutes to brew, even course ground coffee, starts to get too bitter. So it'd be great if you did an update at some point with a group of your friends, family, or fans, and subjectively tested for taste. Because that is more important than anything else you've tested when it comes to coffee. The taste is what's important.

Great review as always! Great to know more manufacturers have finally figured out how to make their pot NOT drip!!!!!! I don't need my coffee really hot hot after an hour, just medium hot. I only need it hot for the brew. Please submerge a remote thermometer into the coffee filter to more accurately check brew temperature, because as soon as it is in the glass carafe, I'm fine with it being simply 'hot', not 'hot hot'. If I'm home, I tend to leave the pot on more than 2 hours, and so if it uses less energy keeping it hot then that is better. Also, please review programmable tea kettles. I bought 3 and had to return all after a week, so I'm back to my $8 walmart glass tea kettle from Walmart unless you find a better programmable one for green tea temperature. The first I tried was Costco Sur La Tab, LED lights looked cool and space age but I returned because bulging glass did not have a protective plastic carafe and might break, and also the buttons would eventually wear out from my thumb touching them even when not engaging in the buttons. The 2nd was Longdeem stainless steel on Amazon because the water volume indicator was plastic which is not safe from boiling water. The 3rd was Veken electric tea kettle which I returned after 7th use because it stopped working, otherwise I would've kept it because I could see the water volume level markings though the clear glass, yet the sturdy glass bottom was protected by a sturdy plastic protector. I also did not like that I had to click the plus temperature sign ten times to get to 185 deg F with it annoyingly beeping each of ten times, when it seems I should have been able to click the green tea button (175 deg F), then click plus 2 more times for 5 degree increments. I drink coffee and green tea, so I'm interested in both, thanks! At high elevation (6500 feet), at max water level 1.7L, the rolling boil was pretty violent at 207 deg F and I would have loved for it to shut off automatically at that point, so it seems we ought to have a user appointed temperature at which we can have it shut off automatically, useful if we go in the other room for a minute and forget about it. When we come back into the kitchen, we can turn it on again and it'll quickly return to temperature in a minute since it was just recently heated up, almost seems a safety issue that someone like you can highlight to get the manufacturers to re-design. Please compare bug zappers (non-chemical, electric only) like $68 Costco version this year May 2024, or the May 2023 Amazon H.H, Bug Zapper, Electronic Mosquito Zappers for Indoor & Outdoor,Mosquito Trap,Mosquito Killer,Fly Zapper $21.95 version that is no longer available but did not work at all, not once that I could tell, possibly because they flew away upon zapping and died elsewhere?
