My bunn makes a hot pot of coffee but If I want a second pot, in the same day it comes out cold

Your pour over coffee brewer has a reservoir that holds more than a pot of water. First thing you need to do is turn off the machine. Then put the empty coffee pot on the burner. Then take another container and fill it with fresh cold water and pour it slowly into the coffee maker until it starts to come out into the coffee pot. Stop pouring in water.

Now turn the machine on and let it heat up. Now you can brew normally. The reservoir has to be filled before you turn it on or you will end up eventually burning up the heating element.

Plug in brewer and turn on vacation switch on side

of brewer. Allow 15 minutes for water to heat to proper

temperature. This is a quote from bunns troubleshooting page. Also it should be under warranty in which case you could go to www.bunn.com and call their service line and either have them send a tech to look at it or have you send it off for warranty repair. Hope this helps.

Are you leaving the machine on all the time? If not, you need to turn it on and leave on for 15 minutes before brewing a pot of coffee. If you will get the model and date# from the bottom of the brewer and give us a call we will be happy to assist you with this.

The Bunn coffee maker does not operate as most coffee makes do. You cannot leave the Bunn in the off position and then just flip the switch to on and pour the water in. You will always get cold coffee if you do this. It takes time for it to heat the water. The On/Off switch should be left in the On position all the time. This keeps the water hot in the tank, thus providing hot water when you need to make coffee. You then just pour the cold water in the top, shut the lid, and have a pot of coffee in 3 minutes. The On/Off switch is a vacation switch, and you use it only when you are not going to use the coffee maker for a couple of days. Older Bunn coffee makers did not even have an On/Off button. You simply unplugged them when going on vacation. So turn the switch to the On position and leave it there. The unit will then work as designed. Forget how other coffee makers work, this is a Bunn and it is the fastest coffee maker you can buy and must be left on all the time. that way the water stays hot and the unit will keep it that way.

Are you rapid firing your coffee maker?Not designed to do that.. If the water heated that fast it would boil dry if you ever left it unattended and on. The reservoir is heated with the time it takes to drink a full pot taken into consideration for reheating.. If you are serving 20 cups with a 10 cup machine, Expect a delay, especially if you are refilling with cold tap water. Sorry.

Hello, that sounds fairly good, as you describe it. Here is a link to your units manual:
http://www.bunnomatic.com/pages/techdocs/manuals/pourbrew_warm.html

go to the bottom of the page, and select the operation manual for a VPR. It is advisable to let the unit sit for approx. 20 minutes after filling, cold water works best, and you need to make sure that you pour the water in before you plug it in, as the heat circuit is always on, whether water is in it or not, including if all the water has evaporated. The manual for the unit should answer your questions.

Hope that helps, and thank you.

My Tim Hortons coffee pot leake water out the sides when I add water to make more coffee. What should I do ? I like the coffee maker it makes great coffee,

It sounds like you have a pour over model and the problem is the tank isn't full. Turn the machine off (or unplug it). Put a pot on the warmer like you are going to brew coffee. Pour clean cold water into the top until it starts coming out the sprayhead (above where the coffee grounds go). Now plug it in and turn on. Let it heat up then you can brew.

The way your machine works is that there is always about 2-1/2 pots of water in the tank. The water you pour in to make coffee is actually pushing the hot water in the tank out. So, if you don't fill the tank before using it, you may be hurting the heating element since it isn't totally submerged in water.
