can the Bunn BXBD be used at lower altitudes and still have good performance?

I live at an elevation of 98 ft above sea level, and that hasn't presented any issues.

I'm about 1200 feet above sea level, works fine but don't fill past the 8 cups+ marker or it'll overflow the filter. I have the BXB so not sure why Amazon asked me to answer this.

I am in a low altitude area and have not had any issues. If you want a more definitive answer, call Bunn customer service at 217-529-6601. When you talk to a representative, it's not a bad idea to request the optional sprayer head, which slows down the water flow just a touch during the brewing process. This will eliminate any possible overflow that may lead to grounds getting into the pot of coffee, should you use a fine ground. It also makes for a better brew of tea. They usually send it at no charge. Hope this helps.

My review was based on its peformance in Florida, ten feet above sea level. How much lower altitude are you thinking of?? It does not perform well in any altitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coffee flavor, from my knowledge, depends on water temperature (180° F max.), reducing oxygen contact, proper water to coffee proportion. (I use 1/4 cup per 48 oz.) There should not be a problem up to (probably) 10,000 feet altitude.

The Frisper Pro 1000 and the Frisper VS 97A will both work at higher elevations. Both of those models are designed with two motors which allows them to vacuum airtight at higher elevations. I love my Frisper. Good luck.

I installed this unit about 6 months ago. We live at an altitude of 7500 ft. I have not had any problems with this unit. It is performing better than the Noritz unit we had previously.

I'm using it in Boulder, CO, which is at an elevation a bit above "The Mile High City," so you should be fine. We haven't had any problems with it.

I had looked at the Bunn BTX-B(D) several years ago when Sears has a similar price markdown, but bought another unit instead. Had written Bunn customer service and didn't get the reply in time. The BTX-B(D) holds temperature at 193° instead of 200°.......will still brew good coffee at that temp and the price right now is very favorable. My current Bunn shorted and tripped the breaker........going to order this one now.

Yes, I live at an elevation of 5,280 ft. It works great for me...just brewed some iced tea up yesterday!

As in any gas appliance the higher the altitude( like Denver) the slower it will work.

At the lower speeds, I think it would work fine. Once you're going fast enough to get turbulence and air pockets under the head, it loses the depth reading. It seems to do that around 5kts, but that's a rough guess on speed.

I used a C-6 but fair warning this one is no joke on the altitude. I would recommend a B-4 on it if you want any hope of recovery or just stick to one of the A's.

i'm not sure but I know the manufacturer does not recommend use above 5,000 feet. maybe at that altitude there is not enough oxygen for a clean burn and I might give off more carbon monoxide.

I bought this air gun about six months ago, and I'm extremely happy with it. As long as you have the right mounting brackets, it will work. Mine is extremely accurate to about 50 yards, depending on the wind. I recommend using the heavier grade bb's. I don't know if it's more accurate than the standard AEG because I don't own a standard AEG, but the accuracy of my rifle is outstanding.

I used it at high altitudes on the Andes mountains and it worked ok. But would go for a pack from Marmot. Much better quality.

It's not meant for that, but it is fairly rugged and would probably be okay at a low speed. I wouldn't try going as fast say, as you would if pulling an inner tube, but different folks have different risk tolerance levels.

It would work well, but it may be a bit large. I'd consider mounting it close to the altitude axis to keep the balance good.

I am not sure how the performance changes with altitude, I reside at 3200 ft and have no issues at all. I would suggest visiting the March website and determine that.

I havent tried it at that high of elevation but the butane/propane fuel mix is pressurized so you should be able to get it working. On high it really puts out about a foot high flame. It will however take longer to boil water up there as I am sure you know. If you try it I would appreciate it if you let me know the results. Really how can you go wrong for $5.00 stove delivered. Good luck and alwyas remember to let someone know where you are going.

I have this unit and had the same concern when I read other reviews. For my camping uses, 7000 BTUs is more than sufficient for boiling water and all other cooking purposes at lower altitudes. It would probably not be adequate at altitudes above 1mi. Lower temperature conserves fuel and is less likely to cause accidental burns. Unit cools quickly after use for storage. I'm glad I bought this one.
