Which Bunn coffee maker to buy? Can someone recommend a coffee maker (Bunn or otherwise) that does not have spillage issues as well as makes 2-3 cups of great coffee!

I just bought the BUNN HG pahse brewing coffee machine. Its just like i make it on the stove with my melita pour over brewer! The HG that I bought didnt have any carafe issues that people complain about and it makes 8 cups of amazing coffee! If you need more than just brew a second pot! I hesitated in buying a machine becaus they all have plastic filter baskets and this oneis stainless steel. Furthermore, it heats the water to 200 degrees and then releases it to the grounds so you get great tasting coffee. Hope this helps.

Bill: My coffee never tasted burned/weak but I am fussy & only purchase Colombia coffee. But...to get the darn thing to brew. The company replaced my 1st one W/free 2nd one but 4 months later..it crashed. My hubby told me to call Calphalon company again. I said.."no way...don't want another one in my house." Early July I paid $110. for a BUNN. I think the Calphalon co. has serious problems & I'd recall them. Tell them your problem. They were very nice on the phone. I get angry for what items cost. We consumers consume & the product does not hold up. Good luck. L.D.

Hey P. Radcliffe, Ekobrew filters arrived today7/28. They work Great. Using the included Bunn measure spoon reads 2 cups per 10oz water. I put 2 Flat level full grinds into filter & closed filter lid fine. So, I know it will hold 2 spoonful, I usually make my coffee slight less than 2 spoonful & 8oz water.The beauty part is I shook the full used grinds & filter from the holder in 1 shake. Do not have to rinse holder after each cup. Just rinse holder when I am thru drinking coffee each day.TIP: used grounds + filter dropped out of holder in one try. I think it will drop out faster while still hot instead of letting the grounds dry in the holder.Enjoyed chatting with you. Hey P. Radcliffe, Ekobrew filters arrived today7/28. They work Great.

Ihave not found one yet. This weekend I used the split basket to make a small amount of coffee. I put my desired amount of coffee, half in each side and brewed it into the carafe [warmed it with hot water while measuring coffee and adding water. USE THE 1-2 CUP SETTING. This takes 2-3 mins longer, but Coffee tasted excellent. Strong, needs less coffee to make just 2 cups. I do not use the travel cups,

We run a 4 cup brew every morning. There's a notch for 2 cups as well, so I'm assuming you could very well do a 3 cup brew if you needed to.

I buy the Bunn Filters. I find that the others are not tall enough and grounds wind up in the coffee pot. I buy a large amount of filters from the Bunn website and they last a long time. I make about 2 pots of coffee every day.

Hi, Kathy. I looked a long time for a coffee maker that that was if good quality and had a thermal carafe that would keep the coffee reasonable hot/warm all morning. I didn't want a hot plate heater, as the coffee didn't taste very good after a few hours and they would use a lot of electricity. I worried that the Bunn would use a lot of electricity with it's instant hot water reservoir, but my bill doesn't show any change because it is well insolated. I have been very happy with my choice. I'm 85 and I have seen lots more coffee makers than most folks.Regards, hope this is helpful, OldHenry Hi, Kathy.

I have had no problems with the carafe spilling or dripping coffee when pouring a cup. Further, I use the carafe to pour water into the coffee maker without a mess. Also, look at the costco CBC-5200PC Series, it maybe a similar machine but cheaper in price.

You can find non-Bunn filters that are taller, but they may affect flavor. I would go with fewer cups.

John, I would say it depends on the coffee you use and how much you put in the basket. We like ours a bit stronger, we use Columbian coffee and I put 3 level scoops and maybe 1/3 to a 1/2 scoop. I do recommend using the Bunn coffee filters too. They are bigger so you don't have overflow of grounds in your coffee. You may just want to try out different amounts until you find what works for you.

I have not tried to brew only 1-2 cups with this pot but since I often want coffee and my husband does not, I bought the small 5 cup 22oz Yama pot also and you can make two cups with that. They also make a very small drip pot that you can make only one cup, which I also bought. Needless to say I love all of them but find I most often use the 5 cup pot. They are pretty reasonably priced so...

I'm looking into this one http://www.amazon.de/Melitta-Permanent-Kaffeefilter-f%C3%BCr-Senseo/dp/B000QDNIKU/ref=pd_ybh_7 but as far as I know it's only availabe in Europe. They make one for the new generation Senseo. Not sure if either will fit the Bunn. I'm holding off on buying the Bunn until I can find a refillable pod...I have a lot of whole bean and ground coffee to use up. Plus, I want to buy some Melitta pods that are ony available from Germany and want to be sure they'll fit the Bunn too. I'm having a really hard time finding information on what size pods will fit the Bunn.

There is one on Amazon that is made for the BUNN coffee makers that works very well.

I make 16 ozs at a time with my Bunn with the thermal caraf. I do not use the caraf, I brew directly into my travel mug. I did the same thing with my previous Bunn home brewer with the glass caraf, just kept the hot plate turned off. Works perfectly and makes outstanding coffee. I have been using Bunn coffee makers like this for years. I do not see why this model would not do the same. I use Starbucks Sumatra finely ground in a standard 1 rounded tablespoon per cup and Bunn filters and get a hot cup with body and taste. Less than 16 oz does not work, not enough to trigger the flow through. Hope this helps. I make 16 ozs at a time with my Bunn with the thermal caraf.

You don't need as much coffee with this maker. Try using 3-4 scoops. I find you use a lot less coffee than other brands.

I love our Bunn for groups, but for single cups, I use an Aero-Press. Allows single cups on the fly with the flavor of French Press (without the mess of French Press).I don't think a single one-pot-fits-all coffee brewer exists (for me).We carry the Aero-Press on vacations with us and in our RV. It's great to just heat some water and build a cup anytime without the fuss of doing 1/2 pot or an entire pot.

I don't think so. It looks like that coffee maker has a lid that allows the coffee to flow into it when brewing. (What allows the user to interupt the cycle and pour a cup while coffee is dripping). The commercial Bunn does not have that feature, the coffee just drips straight into the pot. Most coffee makers for home use have a carafe with a lid that activates the flow from the filter into the pot, I think if you tried to use the commercial Bunn carafe you'd end up with a big mess of wet grounds pouring out of the top of the filter area.
