This is a fast-acting BUNN which covers the issue of coffee leakage while pouring. BUNN fixed the problem with a new “Pour-o-Matic” drip-free glass decanter, which is a huge advantage for most people.
The BUNN coffee maker parts added to this model put it above other models in a way you have to see to fully appreciate. As with other models, this BUNN ensures an overall flavor greatness by slowly extracting flavor from the beans with a showerhead-like spray.
It makes up to ten cups of delicious coffee in just three minutes and is sure to be a favorite in any household.

The stainless steel water tank keeps water at 200 degrees, the optimal temperature for brewing coffee so that you can have a fresh espresso drink any time you want. No need for an automatic timer!
