Good morning! In December, I blogged about receiving a fabulous Keurig for Christmas from my folks and then we promptly returned it to Costco when the water pump failed less than a week later.  We did some research and ordered through a commercial restaurant supplier a Bunn K-cup maker when we found the Bunn maintained much higher ratings than the our late Keurig.  B and I received the Bunn shipment at the beginning of January and after many uses, I guess I’m here to recommend the device.  Bottom line – the Bunn K-cup coffee-maker works and continues to function properly going on three weeks now.  The Bunn might be considered a commercial device and so the attractive nature is nonexistent with the practicality being the more important issue as the Bunn continues to function as it’s supposed to.  You can see in the picture that there’s is nothing stylish about the practical Bunn that says, “Fun!”  But it works.  And the speed at which it makes a cup of coffee is about 100 seconds from loading 1 of 4 appropriate ready trays (for K-cup/tea-bag/water/fresh grounds), to the push of the start button to the final pour from the maker into the coffee-cup, to the stir-in of 1/2 and 1/2 before taking a first sip and combined with a slice of yesterday’s fresh Pumpkin Bread…  Not too shabby.  That’ll do pig – oops sorry, wrong movie, Jenn!

I realize my one little complaint about the Bunn is going to come across trivial, but I’m saying it anyway.  I must refill the Bunn’s shallow water reservoir for every cup I wish to make.  Every cup!  Yes, I was a little spoiled with the Bunn’s late predecessor’s huge water reservoir and yes, I realize that factor would be considered a very minor inconvenience.  Because it is a very minor inconvenience, but it remains an inconvenience nonetheless.  However, I will still recommend the Bunn with 5 out of 5 stars.
