Bunn Coffee Brewer - Model GR10 Home & Office Coffee Maker - Black

The Bunn GR10 is the least expensive coffee brewer in the Bunn lineup. It features the same performance and quality of the more expensive Bunn models, but the housing is not as fancy (instead of having the stainless steel water reservoir visible, it is actually shrouded in plastic). Modeled after commercial coffee makers, the Bunn GR10 can brew up to 10 cups of coffee in just three minutes. It utilizes a water reservoir to keep water hot and on standby, always ready to brew a pot of piping hot coffee quickly and without the normal wait time associated with other home brewers. How does the Bunn GR10 do this? When you first set the Bunn GR10 up, you add up to 10 cups of cold water to the water reservoir and turn the power switch on. It will take about 15 minutes to heat the water initially. This water will stay hot and ready until you go to brew a pot of coffee. To begin brewing, you simply add cold water to the reservoir, which then displaces the hot water already in the system. This hot water is sent to the filter basket instantly where it diffuses through your freshly ground coffee. Afterwards, the cold water you just poured in will be heated for your next round of coffee brewing. And if you're planning to be away, just flip the Vacation switch and the heating unit won't continue to maintain the water temperature in a ready state. Bunn backs up every coffee brewer with a three year warranty! In addition you can expect expert support and service from the company that knows a thing or two about coffee brewers since they have been in the business for over 50 years! Detailed Product Features: Simple Controls Simple and quick operation is the key with the GR10. There are no timers or clocks. Two switches control the whole operation. The main power switch is located on the side of the machine and it is called the Vacation switch. Since the GR10 is always keeping the water hot, you should turn the b
Customer Review: Fast
I fist purchased this for work since the original one we had was finally starting to have issues. I don't think it was a matter of the unit failing, but more so it wasn't properly taken care of. I purchased another one for my dad and the first thing he also noticed is how fast this will brew a pot. The coffee even tastes better due to the way it brews the coffee grounds. I would get one for myself as well, but I don't drink enough coffee to make 12 cups worth.

Scale refers to a concentrated buildup of minerals, like lime, inside your espresso maker. The buildup can affect the function of your machine particularly the boiler, along with the taste of your coffee.

To properly maintain your espresso machine especially if you live in an area with hard water, you will need to descale your espresso maker anywhere from once a month to annually. This depends on the hardness of your water, how often you use your machine and how often water is allowed to sit in the machine for lengthy periods of time.

To learn how to descale your espresso machine keep reading.

Cool Down the Machine

First, turn off the machine and allow it to cool down completely. A hot machine can be dangerous and can reduce the efficacy of the descaling solution.

Combine Lemon and Water

While some users recommend using vinegar, it's generally not good for the mechanics and interior of your coffee machine You can make your own citric solution with lemon and water or purchase a commercial descaling solution that's specifically designed for use with espresso machines.

Popular commercial brands include Durgol, Saeco, and CLR. Most high-end espresso machine manufacturers will also sell their own brand or a recommended brand of decalcifying or descaling solutions.

Run the Machine

First, put your descaling solution into the machine's water reservoir. Then, turn on your espresso maker and pump water through your steam nozzle for about 15 to 30 seconds. Afterward, turn the machine off.

Now, you should have a cold machine with descaling solution in all the parts of it that run and hold water. Wait about 10 minutes and allow the scale to dissolve. Once you're done, turn the machine on and pump the water through again for 30 to 90 seconds, and then turn off the machine

Repeat

Repeat the above steps about 5 times. This process should take you an hour to an hour and a half.

Clean out the Machine

Unfortunately, descaling solution can leave a bitter and unpleasant taste in your espresso machine To get rid of this solution residue, rinse out your water reservoir and refill it. Run the clean water through the machine and repeat this step two to three times.

Make a Pot of Coffee

First, make one pot of coffee or shot of espresso and throw it out. This step will remove the descaling solution from inside.

Finally, make a pot or shot for yourself and enjoy the fresh taste!
