After brewing with a Bunn MCU, it does not fully use all of the water; some remains in the coffee pod. It does this with all textures of coffee grounds. It makes cleanup a mess. Any ideas? Thanks!

First, Though I have worked on many Bunn commercial systems. I'm not quite familiar with the newer MCU though I've worked on similar single cup home systems.
* Most single up systems like the Cup/Pod/Capsule usually have a air flusher that pushes all the water out of the brewer to extract all the flavor and prevent old liquids left in unit.
* If your still dripping, have wet pods/capsules/cups, then it sounds like the air pump is not turning on or not working properly. Bad pump could be a cracked or loose hose as the pumps don't really wear out as it's only air (hopefully clean air, no dust). Call for service.
* The brew cycle might not be completing thus not continuing on to the next step which is to pump air in. Brew sensor or timer out. call for service
* Computer is out or fried (especially after an electrical storm). Call for service.
* Finally, most of these home units do not have serviceable parts. Most take at least an hour to service. So if your not in the warranty period it may not be worth fixing. But be sure to call your service provider or MFR for advice.

SOURCE: Water leaking

The silicon seal inside the coffee maker tends to disintergrate. Bunn Inc. does not sell parts for the inside of the coffee makers, but a seal kit can be purchased through a small appliance repair center or repaired for a small cost. Kit is about $8.00 at most places.

SOURCE: unit will not brew when pod is inserted; works w/o pod however.

This may be one of two issues:
1. The pump is malfunctioning which can cause the internal reservior to not completely fill which causes issues during brewing. My unit dribbled random amounts of water instead of brewing for about a week before the pump died completely.
2. The puncture seal isn't in the right position. Open the Keurig fully so you can see the sharp puncture pin. Very Carefully push the black rubber gasket around it all the way up. Then pull it back down about 1/16". Brew a cup, if the problem continues, try sliding the gasket further down by increments of 1/32".

SOURCE: using the k-cup..does not brew the water splashes everywhere

That is because most likely the part that punctures the k cup is most likely clogged, try using Like a paper clip and cleaning out the small hole and should flow. Mike

Bun coffee maker model MCU has stopped emptying water completely from the coffee grounds drawer. How can I fix this? We have cleaned filter already. Thank you!

Check out the following link that shows how this MCU brewer works. Please note position 8:04 on the time line of the video. Note the loud 'flushing' or air blast sound that is at the end of the brew cycle. If your brewer does not perform this air blast (it forces all the water out of the brew chamber or cup.) then the air pump is bad and needs to be replaced.
* check your warranty and have Bunn service this machine.
* There are no customer service parts inside this brewer.

I just plugged in and put water in the top resevoir of my Bunn coffee maker, Model MCU. The The red square is flashing. How long does it take until it is green and ready to brew?

Should be about 8-15 mins depending how cold the water was. Here are the instructions: Aloha! ukeboy57

Why won't my bunn coffee maker turn on

You should check to insure that the tank inside the machine is full of water. Pour in 1 pot of water at a time until you get water to come out of the brew basket. If you haven't done any internal damage it should be ready to brew a pot of coffee inabout 20 minutes.

BUNN MY CAFE BAD TAST WITH COFFE OR HOT COCO

Try really cleaning the basket that the water and coffee or cocao goes into. If you don't really clean it well, it will have the taste of the last thing brewed mixed in with the new brew. Coffee followed by coffee should not be a problem, but coffee followed by cocao will give the cocao a coffee taste, and visa versa.

Programing for best cup

when feeling upper crusty, I like the pre-soak method, using my good old bunn machine a small blast of 195 degree water to steep for 45 seconds to a minute, followed by the remaining 195 degree water to brew my desired quantity. but I seldom wish to muck about when I want some coffee, so use my good old bunn old school brewer the way it was originally designed,... add grounds, pour water, enjoy coffee!

When i make coffee sometimes the water that comes out is cold or luke warm

The brewer has not had enough time to reach its operating temp (usually 7 mins after a brew cycle). If that is not hte case then the machine needs to be descaled.

Coffee is in water is in nothing happens

You may not have enough water in the tank.
Follow these steps

1. With the coffee pot unplugged, fill your resevoir/tank until water begins pouring out of your sprayhead and brew basket.
2. Wait for the water to finish dripping then plug in your Bunn.
3. Let your Bunn warm up for at least 8 minutes.
4. Run a test cycle with clean water, remembering to use the water pitcher provided for this purpose, while leaving your empty pot on the burner beneath the brew basket.
5. If your cycle completed, and your coffee pot is filled to the desired level you are ready to make coffee.

Remember that these Bunn models have no water filter2_bing.gif installed, so, the cleaner the water the better tasting the coffee.

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.
