This morning It's wake and bake every day.... maybe not bake today ... steam seems to be on the docket this AM. Wife will be in Tucson tomorrow. She still has no plan for how she will get here from there... I am "on call". I warned her to make up my mind before I make plans. HaHaHa If I'm not at the house, she can't get a hold of me. I don't own a cell/i/smart phone. I have had the same landline since 1970. Heirloom. lol 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As part of a kitchen remodel, the wife wants to get rid of our BUNN BXB Velocity Brew. She feels it wastes coffee and is too hard to predictably make coffee that’s not too strong or too weak. Being married to Goldilocks is not easy. FWIW, we both like it black and strong. Any suggestions regarding a replacement? Anyone want the BUNN? If so, it can be yours for the cost of shipping. Realize this was a few days ago but... Contact Bunn, they have different sized "heads" that sprays the water over the grinds. I've been using the ST Velocity Brew for years since that 30lb kitchen aid tank upchucked all over the counter. The ST brewed so fast that the coffee was weak, the other head makes the brew take a little longer. Not by much but maybe a minute and this made a big difference in the body and flavor of the coffee. So I still get it in less than 5 minutes from the time I close the lid! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaman Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 On the advice of a buddy I actually just bought a Corning Percolator. I have always used drip coffee makers but he swears the coffee is twice as good through one of these. The fact that they sell for $50 used on Ebay tells me there must be something to it. Just roasted up some Hazelnut coffee this morning too. Tim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
