Bunn Coffee Maker NHBX-W (White)

I have covered a number of coffee maker companies that have been in the business for close to 100 years. By comparison Bunn is a newer company that has been in the business of making coffee makers for over 50 years. The Bunn Company makes a large range of different coffee makers. This week I will be covering some of them. This reservoir-style household brewer is great for a small office as well. The Bunn Model NHBX-W brews up to 10 cups (50 ounces) of coffee in just 3 minutes. How does it do that? It pre-heats the water for 15 minutes before the first pot of coffee is made. After the first pot of coffee, make sure there is enough water in the reservoir for another pot of coffee.  Then, when you want the second pot the reservoir will  keep the water warm with 34-watt heater and internal thermostat that keeps the water at an ideal temperature to make the second pot in 3 minutes. This ability to make a second pot of so fast is why we add it to our commercial page. Another reason is its stainless steel water tanks 34-watt heater and internal thermostat that keeps the water at an ideal temperature. This coffeemaker is not a drip style, but is one that has a spray-head that improves coffee-flavor extraction. The 800-watt tank heater produces the ideal temperature of hot water that is perfect for making tea as well, while the 46-watt porcelain-coated warming plate keeps your coffee or tea just right for drinking as well after it is made. The sliding lid at the top of the reservoir at the back side of the coffeemaker makes it easy to add brew water. The ten cup glass decanter allows a clear view of your beverage and is dishwasher safe. After the last pot for the day just switch on the vacation switch and the reservoir will no longer pre-heat the water. You will get expert support and service from Bunn. After these 50 years, Bunn does know about coffee makers!

Unlike many coffee makers that come with a one year warranty, this Bunn model NHBX-W coffee brewer comes with a 3 year limited warranty. Be sure to read your warranty and paperwork before doing anything with the coffeemaker and you will be rewarded for it. The coffee maker comes with a 3-prong grounded cord, the glass decanter, filters, a coffee funnel and a de-calcifying tool. (If you have a white build-up (lime) on any part, especially where there is water, use this tool to get rid of it. It deteriorates the material of these parts.) This machine weighs 7.3 lbs. If live at an elevation more than 4,000 feet, put a “D” after the ordering number.
