While purchasing my previous two coffee makers, I had considered purchasing a Bunn, but somehow always ended up purchasing a less expensive brand at the last minute. In the end, that was a poor choice, as the last two coffee makers that I purchased were both defective (of course, after the warranty had expired).This time, I purchased the Bunn and I'm so glad that I did. I'm using the same brand of Coffee that I've used for several years. However, it tastes better with the Bunn. I'm very satisfied and would highly recommend this coffee maker.
