I like coffee, but my little 5 cup coffeemaker just isn't big enough. After exhaustive research, the Bunn Velocity seemed to be what I wanted for my forever coffeemaker. After all, all my favorite restaurants have Bunn coffeemakers.It is quick brewingIt does make great tasting coffeeWhat I quickly discovered is that, when you brew Decaf, the filter basket (using only Bunn filters) fills up quicker than it drains out into the carafe, resulting in a sea of coffee and grounds overflowing all over my countertop.The Bunn instructions and website want you to wade thru endless time-wasting FAQ's. Their customer service phone is only available limited hours on weekdays.They take great pains to hide the fact that if you brew Decaf or finely ground coffees you require a restricted flow flowhead. They thoughtlessly fail to include one in the package. An on-line request needs to be sent in to request this part. There is a sprayhead designed for use with decaf that can be ordered online. There is no charge for it.If you like the pause pour feature on a coffeemaker, this one doesn't have it. After quickly brewing, it slowly and eventually stops dripping and leaving a mess on the hotplate.if you buy one, be sure to write down the model number and the datecode stamped on the bottom of the unit before you use it. Otherwise, it is a major pain to drain this unit in order to turn it over to either get the datecode, or to descale it later. you will need the model and datecode in order to order the decaf sprayhead.I recommend only using distilled, RO or ZeroWater Pitcher filtered water.I you only brew a few cups of coffee, and like the pause pour feature, just get the cheapest little 5 cup coffeemaker Walmart sells. they're cheap and make EXCELLENT coffee - and they last Forever!i rec'd the decaf sprayhead in the mail today, and promptly loaded up the filter basket to brew 10 cups. it worked like a charm. The liquid does not back up in the filter to overflow as it did with the regular decaf.
