Better Brewing BUNN home brewers are made to do exactly what BUNN commercial brewers do: produce great tasting coffee - quickly, simply and consistently. Cup after flavorful cup, year after year, nothing brews like a BUNN. The Patented BUNN Brewing Difference Perfect coffee flavor is robust without bitterness and is determined by three elements: water temperature, the time ground coffee is exposed to the water and how much of the coffee is exposed to the water.
BUNN recommends you DO: Keep coffee stored in a clean, dry place away from heat registers and vents or extreme cold for maximum freshness. • Use enough coffee (one to two heaping tablespoons per cup or about 1½ inches of coffee in a flat-bottom filter.) • Use a thermal carafe if you plan to hold coffee more than 20-30 minutes. Coffee can be held in a glass decanter for up to 30 minutes or a thermal carafe for about two hours. • Make sure to clean your decanter every day.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Daily washing and cleaning of the brew funnel and decanter after each use is required. Occasionally, wipe the outside of the brewer, including the area above the funnel, with mild, no citrus added dish soap and a damp cloth. The brew funnel and decanter are top rack dishwasher safe. Please see page 9 for instructions on cleaning your thermal carafe. DELIMING You should delime your BUNN brewer to clear any deposits that may have accumulated due to impurities in the water source.
6. Cool the brewer by pouring a full decanter of fresh, cold water into the top of the brewer. Place decanter on the base plate and close the lid. When water has stopped flowing from the brewer, empty the decanter. Repeat this process and set the decanter aside. 7. Grasp the back of the brewer and turn it upside down over a sink. Most of the water in the tank will flow from the sprayhead tube opening. Some water may flow from the area around the top lid. Continue tipping the brewer until the flow stops. 8.
DRAINING YOUR BREWER The water in your BUNN coffee brewer should be emptied whenever it is taken on a trip, shipped, stored in an unheated location with a chance of freezing, or goes unused for a extended period of time. To drain your brewer, use the following procudure: 1. Unplug the brewer. Remove the brew funnel and sprayhead from the brewer and set them aside. 2. Cool the brewer by pouring a full decanter of fresh, cold water into the top of the brewer.
