Wow!
" 0 to 10 cups in 3 minutes flat."
Sometime around 15 years ago, I finally corelated the evidence,
which led me to understand that the only coffee that I really liked,
came from certain specific places. Investigation showed that all these
places used a Bunn coffee maker.
I purchased my first Bunn coffee maker soon after. The model chosen
was a 10 cup home unit. It gave great service for 6 years, and it's
identical replacement gave great service for 8.5 years.
However, it died this summer, annDeb brought home a good quality
used coffee maker from her mother's storage building. It did okay,
and by conducting carefully controlled experimentation, I found a
combination of water level and amount of coffee used, to give decent
tasting coffee. It was a fragile balance, and as long as I followed
the formula religiously, the result was drinkable. If someone else
made the coffee, the results were not so palatable.
Yesterday, I opened a brightly wrapped box with my name on it during
gift exchange with my inlaws. I opened the wrappings to find a new
commercial quality Bunn B10-B 10 cup coffee maker. It even has the
stainless steel reserve water tank. WooHoo!
I took it for a "test ride" as soon as I was able to get it home and
complete the rinsing process.
This baby rocks! Perfect coffee first time, and (I assume) every
time. I don't even need that flat teaspoon of sugar that I usually
use. (With the replacement, I was using at least a rounded teaspoon of
sugar to mask the bitter flavor that most coffee makers bring out of
the little coffee beans.) This coffee is smooth and clean tasting.
The difference between a Bunn and other cpffee "makers" is that most
coffee "makers" boil the water and spew the boiling water over the
grounds. This water is too hot, and releases the bitter taste along
with the good coffee flavor.
A Bunn coffee maker has a reservoir tank, where the water is kept at
a steady perfect temperature for coffee making.. When the fresh water
is added to the machine, it displaces the "perfect temp for great
coffee making flavor" water from the reservoir tank. The displaced
water is sprayed through a diffuser nozzle, evenly over the ground
coffee beans. In three minutes (flat), the 10 cup coffee vessel is
full, and ready for enthusiastic consumption.
Mother-in-Law hit a "Home Run"!
I called her this morning. I told her how much I was enjoying my
coffee this morning, (and told her that she was a "Keeper") .
I figure Deb gets it honestly.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
