Reviews From Sam Driver, D. Brewer and B. Speer for Bonavita BV1800TH 8-Cup Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe

Good coffee, simple, compact design, November 8, 2013 By Sam Driver (Washington, VA United States)
"What I like best about this Bonavita BV1800TH 8-Cup Coffee Maker is its overall simplicity and the design emphasis that was placed on brewing good coffee but not on loading the device with gadgets and non-essential features. I don't need a replaceable filter for the water. I don't need a built in coffee grinder.

The brew speed is fast, about 5 minutes for an 8-cup pot. I tested the temperature of the water at the brew head and it was 200 degrees. The thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for about 3 hours. This is actually an improvement over my old coffee maker, a plasticy monstrosity made by Black and Decker. The old coffee maker had a glass pot and burner to keep it warm. The Bonavita BV1800TH only uses electricity during the brew cycle and turns itself off automatically after 15 minutes."

Reviews From Kenneth L. Brandt, Matt and Gwen G Jones for BUNN BT Velocity Brew 10-Cup Thermal Carafe Home Coffee Brewer

This is without a doubt the best coffeemaker that I've ever owned. BUNN BT Velocity Brew 10-Cup has been about 5 months now, and I could not be more pleased. We make 4-5 pots of coffee per day five days a week. The last pot is brewed about noon and the left over coffee is still luke warm the next morning. The units last about 2 years so they are good for over 2,000 pots of coffee (less than 10 cents per pot). It makes a great pot of coffee.

Bunn BT coffee pot, October 8, 2013 By Kenneth L. Brandt (Carson City, NV)
"A pot of coffee is brewed before you know it and stays hot in the pot for hours and best of all...it still taste like it was just brewed.. I was surprised to find BUNN BT Velocity highly rated by coffee geeks. Reviews said that the unit holds a spare charge of water at good brewing temperature, that sold me."
