This is a nice coffe maker made for people who use it frequently. There is a main switch that is called "vacation switch" and it is kept on 24hrs a day unless you are going on vacation. There is always some water in the tank that is kept warm constantly. My feeling is for me to make two pots of coffee in a day, it is tremendous loss of energy. On the other hand when you need to make coffee it is brewed very quickly. It needs little bit more coffee compare to other coffee makers in my experience. Coffee tastes real good though.

If you make 8-10 pots of coffee a day, this is a real good coffee maker and you probably would not mind the constant energy use to keep water tank heated 24hour a day. As the name says it is Professional!

This is a great coffee maker for home & office use. It starts brewing instantly as there is water kept hot in the internal tank. This water is replaced every time you pour water for your current pot in the top. So a second or two after you close the top lid the water starts coming through the basket. The flavor produced is better than all the rest because of the consistent temp of the water flowing through the grounds. The only worry i have is how much this is going to affect my electric bill.

The following review was copied from my first review of the Bunn coffee maker, posted 4 years ago. My thoughts about this product remain the same and I would recommend it to anyone who cares about good coffee.

"I have read most of the other reviews and fully agree with those who rate this with 5 stars. I do not agree with those who have down rated this great coffee maker, because they don't come much better. For the conservative folks, who worry about the energy usage, (which keeps the water hot) consider this ------ bacteria does not grow in HOT water!!!!! I have owned many other coffee makers and most will, in time, develop green slime somewhere in the many nooks and crannies that are impossible to clean. Also, I will wager my Uncle Bubbas last jug of moon shine, that the total energy consumed is about the same as any other coffee maker that uses lots of power to get cold water up to brewing temperature ----- which usually serves up as luke warm and bitter coffee.
My wife (a Master Baker) and I are on different morning schedules. She is able to make a fresh pot of coffee in very short time and I brew another fresh pot when I start my day about 2 hours later. Prior to the Bunn, I had a very bitter cup of left over coffee from the computer controlled coffee maker, that is now in the trash heap. Too big for your counter top??? Get rid of your Aunt Jane's useless canister set and make room for this great piece of equipment. If you want better coffee ---- try dining out!!! Most good restaurants use Bunn coffee makers. Or, perhaps as a conservative action, buy this very good coffee maker, stay at home and save the price of petrol."

PS: September 12, 2009 After 4 years of wonderful service, out beloved Bunn started to trip the circuit breaker and, after a period of mourning, we decided to lay it to rest and purchase another Bunn. Fortunately, although this particular model is no longer available, the Bunn BXB (black) is available from Amazon. It is outwardly identical, except for color, to our previous Bunn and we are equally happy with it.

I've priced many stores for the Bunn BXB 10-cup Coffee Maker and found that Amazon was definately cheaper than any store in my area. Amazon also provided many more choices to pick from. Great coffee maker. Well worth the money.

Fast, hot, and great tasting coffee. Everything I need in a cup of coffee.
