Question 1

Is it made in the US or in China?

Accepted Answer

As I understand it there are no drip coffee makers that are able to be called "made in USA." Bunn has some that are "manufactured or assembled in USA" which is a lesser standard. They are the Speed Brew (Classic), BT, GR, and BX models. All of these are assembled in Creston, Iowa. I think this one is made in the oppressive communist nation of China that enslaves its citizens that don't toe the line. These slaves are forced to build many of these products we enjoy everyday. I guess the pain of some political and religious dissidents is worth it for a fine cup of joe. When possible we need to buy from free nations.

Question 2

Is this coffee maker made in the usa? and is it bpa free

Accepted Answer

I don't think this model is made in USA, Bunn does make coffee makers in US but I think this one is imported. There is plastic which I am sure meets the BPA requirements but this unit is not plastic free. The chamber the water is heated in is plastic with a metal heating element on the bottom that brings water to 200 degrees and the coffee holder is also plastic.
We really enjoy our Heat N Brew, makes a very good pot of coffee every morning we have owned it.

Question 3

So if "heat and brew" does not have the hot water reservoir, how am i to determine which ones do? cuz that name sure sounds like it does. the codes?

Accepted Answer

Most people when they think of Bunn they think of the commercial coffee makers. They have a hot water reservoir and when you hit the start button it’s instantly hot. To me this coffee maker is more for the coffee connoisseur.  The secret with this coffee maker is that the water temperature is perfect, and how the water sprays down onto the grounds. You have to wait for the whole pot to brew before you can get your coffee.

Question 4

Does anyone know if the basket from the bunn hg phase brew would fit into this?  it is a metal basket and i prefer that to a plastic one. thank you!

Accepted Answer

This is a bit more conical in shape. Deeper more narrow. I use the unbleached filters.
