Hello Kevin, My Name Is Mike,
Make sure you are using Bunn Vpr brand cupcake filters, not theshorter-sided generic variety. Also, inquire with Bunn Vpr about an optionalattachment for some models that will slow down the rate of water flow. Lastly,ensure that you are not over-filling the basket with grinds. There is an upperlimit to how much a coffeemaker will hold, and some people try to compensatefor weak coffee by adding too much. A lot of times, people now a days, also go to local coffee shop and have them grind there coffee fresh, and the coffee shop a lot of times will grind it to fine. And that would cause it to get clogged and overflow. Thanks So, much and hope this help. Also, If you ever want my help in the future, you can search for me as I have Market place ads I have created in all kinds of different appliance, automotive, electronic Categories. Thanks Mike

Testimonial: "Mike, thank you for this solution. Your answer was perfect. Thank you advising me about your other specialities. Can I forward that information to my friends if they need help?"

There is a thermostat underneath the top of the machine. There are a couple of little screws that you need to undo then you will see a little dial or even a little T on top of a metal box or circuit board. I recommend that you unplug the machine before opening it up. Then just turn the thermostat down - usually counter clockwise. Turn it just a little and put the top back on the machine and let it heat up.

SOURCE: WE have the Bunn VPR series. It's a pourover

Hello this coffee maker has a one and a half gallon internal tank, could be one of a few problems, first thing to check is the spray head, unscrew this you may need some channel locks to get it off and check it..use a tooth pick to clear the 6 holes with any lime that may have formed...also if you use a commercial coffee company for your coffee they should have supplied you with a spring to clean the spray head tube. After checking these 2 items the next thing to check is there enough water in the tank..when the vpr is left on and not used for a few days the water in the tank evaporates..it takes approx two and a half pots of water to fill up the internal tank...try pouring another pot of water in...also turn machine off and take the 2 screws out of the top and see if there is lime blocking the drain hole in the fill pan. Hope this helps...please feel free to comment again if you have any other questions...Good Luck!!! Mike

SOURCE: Bunn VPR Series Coffee Maker

This machine has a reservoir that holds about 2.5 pots and keeps them at brewing temperature. Therefore you should pour in 3 pots (with a pot in place under the filter basket) until water flows from the basket. Then, and ONLY then, it is safe to plug in the brewer. If you plug in the brewer BEFORE filling the reservoir you will burn up the heating element and will have to have it replaced.
After the initial filling and heat up (about 20 minutes) you are ready to pour through a pot of COLD water through and brew.

Poured water into a Bunn Vpr coffee maker, the coffe was cold. Why did this happen?

Possible the hi-limit turned off the heater, the thermostat is not working or the elements are damaged, or the inline thermal fuse is damaged.

Filter basket overflows after cleaning Bunn VPR Coffee Maker

Some people also try adding fresh grounds to brewed grounds, resulting in an overflow. A restricter valve can be used, but a better solution is to simply pour in half the water at a time. This is what people who buy non Bunn filters do to stop overfills.

Leaking tank on new Bunn coffee maker

Hi, is your unit a new VPR? it could have just a gasket that is not tight, or if you pour too fast it could overflow the fill reservoir. Either way you can go to www.bunnomatic.com and serch in either home, or commercial for the 800 number appropriate for you, thank you :)

Bunn VPR Coffee Maker

I own a bunn and my brother's business owns 2 of these. The rule of thumb as he was told by the salesman is 2 oz of coffee grinds per 48 oz of water.
