BUNN patented brewing system holds water at the correct temperature, creates turbulence in the filter basket to fully extract coffee flavor and brews in 3 to 4 minutes so your coffee is never over-extracted and bitter. The power of the BUNN brewing system starts with ready to brew hot water in the stainless steel tank. Water is kept at the ideal brewing temperature of approximately 200 Degrees F with an internal thermostat. This means that when you are ready for fresh, hot coffee, it’s on its way. This is where the brewing magic happens! The patented sprayhead design showers water quickly and evenly on all the coffee grounds to ensure that they float and the coffee flavor is extracted from all the coffee equally and completely. This all happens in 3 to 4 minutes so your coffee is never over-extracted and bitter. Coffee lovers know that a thermal carafe treats the coffee inside with tender loving care. The STX features a stainless steel vacuum insulated carafe that keeps coffee hot without overheating.
