I bought the Bunn BTX-B thermal coffee maker just over a year ago after doing a lot of research. Most of the coffee forums and other sites I visited raved about the quality of BUNN so I thought I’d give it a try. I had never had one of their machines and this one was quite an eye opener. The reviews talked about the quality of the stainless carafe to keep the coffee warm as well as the readily available parts should you need something. I can say that I am now able to serve up both decaf as well as regular coffee for my guests at the same time. I can just brew up the first pot and begin serving, then get the second one ready in no time.
The quality of the coffee grounds is really where it starts for any coffee maker and this is no exception. You must buy a high quality ground, period. I have also found that when you brew a full 10 cups the taste is much better than when you go lower. Another suggestion is to use the correct filters. I have tried to use others when I ran out and even though they seemed to fit ok the result wasn’t as good. It also took me a little bit of time to figure out to close the reservoir lid until I need the coffee to start.
A good cleaning of the machine is also recommended every couple of months. This will get all of the old residue out and kinda freshen things up. I have found that this keeps the coffee tasting good time and time again. I always try to get the carafes very clean a couple of times per week as well.
The one and only negative I have found to the BTX-B is that it takes up a lot of space on my kitchen counter. It stands tall so it won’t fit underneath cabinets easily, at least not in my house. Since the coffeemaker works awesome and brews up the coffee just the way I like it I can live with the size. It’s really not a big deal and overall I give it a perfect rating.
