Not so happy with the Bunn: Is it me or what?

We live in an area with a great amount of minerals in the water. I am suspect that it is your water that is creating your problem here, not the coffee maker. The reason I say that is because it has happened to my coffee maker also, and I do not have a Bunn. I was constantly cleaning up the "crud" after a few brews. We were going through coffee makers like a kid in a candy store. Heat seems to make the minerals gather together fast. Just an observation on my part....I am no scientist. I began to use bottled distilled or spring water in my coffee maker and no more mineral deposit problem. Actually, the coffee did taste fresher. I appreciate reading your response, because I know that I am not the only one with this water problem, and I will keep using bottled spring or distilled water for my coffee! Oh.....and I am going to buy a Bunn!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your input.

No, I do not have this problem. perhaps you got a faulty swing. Perhaps you can trade it in for the same model..ours is great, I'd stick with Little tykes!

we have the same problem. Had same brewer for 4 years before it started leaking.Very convient brewer to use BUT This new one has a plastic smell even after 2 weeks. tank hotter than old one- must be new plastic and metal compositions used in the parts and BUNN isn't testing product enough. Amazon.com please use your collective costumer complaints as influence with BUNN.

We just purchased a new Bunn with 2 warming plates for our volunteer fire department, which replaced one we had for many years. We use it more than once a week and have had no problems with either the new or old one. We are very pleased with our Bunn.

I buy ours at Costco in a large pack and they work great! Actually, I have the bunn filters off and on and there is truly no difference. Honest answer!

I just got my new rabbit air, and, so far, I am disappointed by its ability to eliminate odors--and specifically of the perfume or new paint type. I will be in touch with the manufacturer. It seems to be functioning well in other respects, and I am certain that everything is properly installed.

Bunn will send a replacement head with smaller holes if you call customer service. For some models, at least, there is no charge. It provides a slower flow, with the purpose of keeping the basket from overflowing if the filter tends to get clogged with salt from softened water. Don't know if it will make the coffee stronger, but the price is right.

Same here. Never again. Just purchased an inexpensive Sunbeam last night because the three month old Cuisinart finally stopped working forever. We've been having to bounce it on the counter several times to get it to start brewing ever since my frustrating conversations with Cuisinart's lack-of-customer service department.

Does not work with Bunn because the sides are not high enough and the water and grounds overflow. I had the same problem with non Bunn paper filters. I now order Bunn paper filters from Amazon and use them only.

I'm not surprised . . . I returned mine about an hour after I received it when I realized that programming the features was going to be an issue. It has been my experience that issues early on are signs of more issues down the road. The more I hear about this coffeemaker, the happier I am with my decision to return it. Good luck with yours.

Mine didn't really work either...I was disappointed. It's probably flour or something.

Piece of junk. Co. sent replacement water tank for free. Then I complained...not brewing. Co. sent whole new coffeemaker.Lasted 4 months. Did not bother to call co.--junked it. And I cleaned it, too, cause I have hard water. Purchased BUNN for$110. If U call co.---they will probably replace Calphalon but don't expect it to last long. L.D.

The plastic taste is most likely from the k-cups you are using. I only brew using my own beans and the Bunn makes some of the best coffee I've ever had.

JJ, I have looked myself. Bunn does not make one in this 6 inch diameter. If you find one from another manufacturer, let me know!

Ordered the Restrictor Flow Head through Bunns Website and they shipped me two for nothing.. Again, thanks to BKBerger for directing me there.. This did indeed address the overflow issue..Items of note: With the ORIGINAL head, water flows through the unit in just a hair under two minutes w/o any paper filter or grinds. With the REPLACMENT head, water flows through the system in a hair over four minutes. A pot of strong brew with abnormally fine grinds, such as mine, took 5 minutes from lid closure to stream-to-drip transition.Hope this helps.. It helped me!!! The clean up totally sucks!!

Our church has used the same Bunn coffee maker for 15 years (replaced the thermostat about six years ago...otherwise it is all original pieces). Rarely is the Bunn used more than one morning weekly (Sunday mornings, of course). We always unplug the machine when not in use and have it plugged in about four to five hours at a time (maybe brew about five pots of coffee per week). Never had any problems with it except that a handful of "regulars" thought the coffee was not hot enough, which led to decision to buy a new thermostat and replace the old one. Not had a single problem with this workhorse! -- Paul (Sacramento, CA) Our church has used the same Bunn coffee maker for 15 years (replaced the thermostat about six years ago...otherwise it is all original pieces).
