Really, better than the good old perculators (like we use, SuperFast Farberware and the Regal Easy Flo 10 cup with adjustable strengths? But..always heard these do make a superb cup of coffee.
"Really, better than the good old perculators"
YES! 1000 times yes! Those old things murder coffee. They recycle brewed coffee through the spent grounds countless times and flush all the bitter oils into the finished brew. They also brew slowly which releases even more bitterness and off tastes. The 200f brew temp and short brewing cycle of commercial drip coffee machines will yield a by far superior finished product.

Wow. I better run ...to a Bun
The older units - are they better than the new ones? ( the new ones look a bit cheap-ola).

Bunn coffee is great. Bought one in 1976 and never looked back for daily machine. On my third so they do last. On weekends I will use my Cory or Sunbeam or Chemex but daily is the Bunn. The ony reason I got this current Bunn is I wanted the one with the carafe. The old one I gave to one of my sons and stil going strong.
Can you hook an IV line directly to the pot?
My partner is a coffee achiever.....probably would save time to inject it right into his veins....
he LOVES these machines.....we have three, first was the home machine we got from Walmart, second was just like this one for sale, The VPR Pour Over, and this final masterpiece of the coffee world, Bunn 3 burner "S" series, hooked up to 220 power and water supply, with the extra spout for hot water on the side.....
still have all three, either machine will produce a pot in 3 minutes....
plus the Bunn two station burner/warmer.....
theres also a matching coffee grinder I will eventually get!.......it's like a starbucks in my kitchen....they do make great coffee
you have to buy Bunn filters for these, their a little larger than the standard ones, I get them from a restaurant supply, 2000 for about 12.00
there is something to be said for perked coffee, for that, we play with the vintage machine every now and then.....like when the power goes out, then you break out the corningware pot on top the stove

Phase-Brew
I have a Bunn Phase Brew as my main machine right now. It makes great drip coffee. The commercial units take up too much space and often don't fit under cabinets on your counter.

Yes,
IMHO, nothing competes with the Bunn - commercial variety. Tried the Bunn home style - okay, but still not the same. All other drips are just that - a drip. Marbeck Appliance (local small appliance dealer in KC) states that the brewing temp and mechanism makes the difference. Just bought my 2nd VPR (?), first one was given to the church - still going strong 8 years later; tried multiple others and was never satisfied. Finally decided to deal with the placement/size issues and get another.
Superb coffee!

I have a BUNN A10
The BUNN A10 has the recovery speed and water heating of a commercial unit in the size of a home unit. I drink a lot of coffee and also wanted some type of BUNN commercial but wanted one that would fit under my cabinets. This one is made for lower volume business settings. It has a bigger heater than home units and recovers in about a minute or so. It uses the same filter holder and pot as the 10 cup home units mine just happen to be in the sink right now. It has presets for 1/2 pot or a full pot and those are programmable.
I put mine on the counter next to the refrigerator so I could tap into the Ice Maker water line. I put an inline water filter on it as well.
The A10 comes in a pourover only unit as well or you can get the version that plumbs into a water line. The unit that plumbs in can also be used as a pourover unit if necessary. I used mine as a pourover until I got it hooked into the water line.
If you're a BUNN coffee lover like me this is a great home alternative. They are pricey new (about $300) but I got mine on eBay. It was a new unit that has a broken piece on the top right corner that you can see in the pic. I figured I would replace that piece but it hasn't ever bothered me all that much. I think I paid around $100 for it. I have had it a few years now and never had a problem.

The one we had
was a home model amd was great for a few years, then it began leaking out of the tank.
Had two Mr. Coffe's, lasted 2.5 years each. We use them almost every day.
Got a Cuisinart 3 years ago with a Kuerig built in, and it's been great. My mother in law swears by the brand. She had many, and likes them most.
She got a large Breville toaster oven two years ago for Mothers day and still likes it too.

Coffee
I purchased a slightly used Cuisinart 12 cup Drip with the insulated pot. It was most expensive unit at the time retailing for $120. I think I paid $60 for it off ebay. It for me makes the BEST pot of coffee hands down. I have several other coffee makers n the only one that truly comes close is the Corning Ware 10 cup Electric Pot. My favorite coffee brand is Archer Farms Italian Roast. Bold delicious flavor like French Rst without the bitter bite. Very Smooth!

It seems to be that there're a lot of Cuisiart fans - so I am here too! Have never tried better coffee maker that this https://www.stayroasted.com/coffee-makers/#product_4

I've had my Bunn for about 10 years. Love it and will never get another brand.
I have a coffee maker quite similar to the bunn machine
It’s a commercial machine with hotplate on the top and underneath the filter basket, and that thing turns out coffee quick and hot, I’ve never really been able to find the commercial filter papers So I just mainly tend to use the round Mr coffee ones, as they fit and they do work well, I would love to get one of those 1500 W Mr coffee machines that was featured on technology connections, and this machine I’m not sure is a pour-over As I can pour water into it the night before and in the morning I can turn it on and then it’ll brew coffee, as I thought for over machines were ones where you directly pour hot water into the coffee[this post was last edited: 8/17/2022-02:51]

We "HAD" a Bunn
in the late 90's. Not a commerical type, it had a plastic outer upper body. While it made good coffee, it began leaking after about 3 or 4 years.
We had two Mr Coffee's after that. each lasting a few years each. One wa sa thermal carafe'. We got a Cuisinart 12 cup traditional maker with a Kuerig unit mounted on the side in 2018. It's still working fine. We make an 8 cup pot daily, except on Saturdays, and at least two K cups per day on average. When the clean indicators light up, I descale it with vinegar and water, and change the charcoal filters. At the $250 U.S. price, it was worth it. Our first Kuerig brand maker broke after 2 years also.

>> Actually: They say plunger coffee is the "creme da la creme" (if thats how it is

Praised for its simplicity and control over brewing, be aware that drinking French press coffee can raise your cholesterol.
Other forms of coffee aren't perfect either - but French press (and other methods which omit the paper filter) have been clinically shown to be worse for you in that regard...

Coffee doesn't contain cholesterol. Adding cream to it would add some cholesterol.
