Why not pure water for bunn cafe

The unit senses the mineral & metal (slight) deposits in the water to operate. Bunn says coffee tastes better with these deposits anyway, & I agree. Just buy the unit, trust me you will not be disappointed!

Yes - use only plain water. Any cleaners, etc. will only serve to clog the machine and may render it useless.

I have the machine, and only use tap water. I imagine that I will have to run vinegar thru it occasionally as in other coffee makers to remove water residue. However, I am not going to buy water for my coffee machine. Too much trouble. I do, however, love the machine and having a fresh hot cup of brewed coffee each time.

The Bunn is all stainless steel construction I don't think boiling water should damage the unit. I've been using my 2 pots for at least six months with no proplems. Bunn has been great for standing behind their products.

Maybe you put too much water. You need to fill the upper part until the word H2O and stir this water in the bottom part. Put enough coffee to fill the filter and dont push it

No, I would not. The water need to be go throw the filter before being mixed in a drink

The machine does not have a built in water filter. You can add one at the source of the water. We did. The machine is amazing. It takes some serious reading of instructions to get to know it well. It has some built in programing that forces you to descale the machine every so many cups of coffee, depending on your water hardness. What this does is remove lime deposits.

Their website says it is "Chemical-free Water Processed"... so I assume it is swiss water process.http://www.newmansownorganics.com/food_coffee.html

Yes, basically what you have left is H2O. No salts from softeners, no chlorine, no minerals. Some say minerals and even bacteria are important to humans. If so I'd rather have my water pure and get minerals other ways. Dave

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.

You can add water only up to the level line where marked inside and use less coffee grains to make it weak. It will work that way too.

I am a fan of paper filters -- flat bottom 8-12 cup filters work with this Bunn. I guess you could use the gold, reusable, flat bottom filter, too. I just prefer the paper ones.

I do like my Horton coffee maker by Bunn, but I have found out you need to use more coffee grand's Also I have a water purifier it helps on the teats of the coffee , The only thing is I wish it sated warm for 1 1\2 hours.

It really depends on your water. The more pure the water the better the coffee. If you're coffee pot didn't come with a filter you can always use your own filtered water.

This machine is not designed to take a filter. We would still highly recommend using a filtered water to prevent scale from building up in the boiler.

I don't see why not. There is nothing but metal and plastic in the construction, so I would have no trouble (personally) drinking water that had been run through it. Of course, I would run some bleach through it first, just to be sure.

The quality of the coffee may have to do with the quality of the City water from the faucet. I would suggest using bottled water.
