Frequently Asked Questions - Speed Brew BT Bunn

How do I clean my Bunn Speed Brew BT?

For daily cleaning, remove the carafe and sprayhead, wash with warm soapy water. Descale every 3 months using Bunn descaling solution or a 50/50 water-vinegar mixture. Run at least 3 full cycles of plain water after descaling.

Why is my coffee not hot enough?

Ensure the coffee maker is plugged into a grounded outlet and the tank has enough water. The internal heater maintains water at ~200°F. If still lukewarm, the heater may need replacement or the machine may need descaling.

Can I use a reusable gold filter?

Yes, Bunn gold-tone permanent filters work in the Speed Brew BT. Use a coarse grind to avoid clogging, and rinse the filter after each use.

How do I brew a half pot?

You may brew any amount from 2 to 10 cups. Always ensure the water level covers the heating element. For best flavor, brew full 50 oz carafes.

Does the Speed Brew BT have auto shut-off?

No it does not. The internal tank stays hot to keep water at brewing temperature. If you want to turn it off, unplug the machine. It is designed to be left on for multiple brews.

What size coffee filter do I need?

Use Bunn #5900 flat bottom paper filters or standard 8-12 cup flat bottom filters. Not cone filters.

How long does the brewing process take?

The Speed Brew BT brews a full 50 oz carafe in about 3 minutes thanks to its high-power heating system and sprayhead design.

Why is the carafe dripping after brewing?

Check that the carafe is fully seated on the warming plate. If the flow continues, the brew basket may be tilted, or the sprayhead needs cleaning. Also ensure the carafe lid is closed properly.

What is the warranty on the Bunn Speed Brew BT?

Bunn offers a 1-year limited warranty on parts and labor for home use. Commercial use may have different coverage. Keep your receipt.

Can I use the Speed Brew BT for iced coffee?

Yes, brew a double-strength coffee (use twice the grounds) directly over a pitcher filled with ice. The machine's high temperature ensures proper extraction.

CARE & CLEANING

BASIC CLEANING

FOR SPEED BREW MODELS: (Excluding BT)

• Wash the brew funnel and glass carafe after each use.
• Both are top rack dishwasher safe.

Important: Separate the carafe lid from the carafe when washing in the dishwasher, and use the top shelf only for both the glass and the lid. If washing by hand, use a mild, non-abrasive dish soap.

- Wipe the outside of the coffeemaker occasionally, including the area above the brew funnel.

NOTE: After wipe down, ensure that the warmer switch is in the OFF position.

FOR BT MODEL:

Important: Do not use an abrasive cleaning device to clean the carafe, because it will scratch the stainless steel. Occasionally, remove the brew through valve on the Thermal Carafe Lid and clean with mild, non abrasive detergent. To remove the valve, lift at the edge and pull up. Be sure to clean the passage where the valve is located.

• To remove coffee stains from inside the thermal carafe, place a paper filter in the brew funnel and pour 2 teaspoons of powder dishwasher detergent into the brew funnel.
• Pour one carafe of water into the coffeemaker.
• Position the carafe on the base and close the lid.
• When the brewing cycle stops, remove the brew funnel and discard the filter.
• Rinse the funnel.
• Allow the carafe to sit for about 15 minutes.
• Use a soft bristled brush to clean the inside and outer rim of the carafe.
• Scrub the carafe pour lip and lid with a soft cloth, warm water and mild detergent.
• When finished, pour out the solution in the carafe.
• Rinse the carafe and the lid.

CLEANING THE SPRAYHEAD TUBE

Cleaning the sprayhead tube removes deposits formed by natural mineral content in your water. The more mineral content in your water, the more you should clean.

A good rule of thumb is to do it every 3 months. If you have very hard water then twice a month may be necessary.

You'll need: the deliming tool provided with your machine, a toothpick, dish soap, and a soft cloth.

• Press the tank power switch to the OFF position, unplug the coffeemaker and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours.
• Remove the funnel and unscrew the sprayhead, loosening with your fingertips.
• Insert all but 2 inches of the deliming tool into the sprayhead tube.
• Slide the deliming tool in and out of the sprayhead tube 5 or 6 times to loosen any deposits.

• Remove the deliming tool and reinsert the brew funnel.

• Pour a carafe of fresh water into the coffeemaker.

• Place the empty carafe on the warmer plate and close the lid. Water will flow into the carafe.
• Check the sprayhead holes and clear any deposits with the toothpick.
• Clean the sprayhead with a cloth and dish soap. Rinse it with water.
• Empty the water from the carafe and place the empty carafe on the warmer plate.
• Remove the brew funnel and reinstall the sprayhead. Reinsert the brew funnel.
• Plug in the coffeemaker. Press the tank power switch to the ON position.
• Wait 15 minutes for the water in the tank to reach brew temperature.
• Your machine is again ready for brewing.

*NOTE: For a replacement sprayhead or deliming tool call customer service at 1-800-352-2866 (USA) or 1-800-263-2256 (Canada).

DEEP CLEANING

Deep clean your coffeemaker at least every 3 months. More frequency may be needed, depending on the mineral content in your water.

Deep cleaning your coffeemaker removes mineral deposits in your internal hot water tank and will prolong the life of your coffeemaker.

You'll need: 1 quart (32oz) of white vinegar, a toothpick and dish soap.

• Slide the brew funnel into the funnel rails.
• Place the carafe on the coffeemaker.
• Open the lid and pour the vinegar into the coffeemaker.
• Close the lid. Empty the carafe when liquid stops flowing.

• Flip the tank switch to the OFF position and unplug the coffeemaker. Allow the vinegar to sit in the coffeemaker for at least 2 hours.

• Remove the brew funnel and unscrew the sprayhead. Check the sprayhead holes and clear any deposits with the toothpick.

• Clean the sprayhead with a cloth and dish soap.
• Rinse with water.
• Pour a carafe of fresh water into the coffeemaker. Place the carafe on the warmer plate and reinsert the brew funnel.
• Close the lid (the water will begin to flush out the vinegar from the internal hot water tank).
  • Empty the carafe when the liquid has stopped flowing.
• Repeat the process of cycling fresh cold water 3 or more times or until you no longer smell vinegar.
• Remove the brew funnel and reattach the sprayhead.
• Replace the brew funnel and place the carafe on the warmer plate. Plug in the coffeemaker. Flip the tank switch to the ON position.
• Allow the water in the tank to reach brewing temperature (which should take about 15 minutes). Your coffeemaker is again ready for brewing.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING

COFFEE DOESN'T COME OUT

• Were at least 20oz of water poured into the coffeemaker? Between 20oz and 50oz of water must be poured in for proper brewing (see page 13, Step 5).
• Is the pour-in lid closed? Water is not released from the reservoir into the tank until the lid is closed.
• Has the coffeemaker been left on for an extended period without being used? If so, then the water tank may need to be topped off. Press power switch OFF, unplug the machine, and go through the setup process until water begins to flow (see page 11). If water begins to flow in Step 2, then skip Step 3.
• Has the coffeemaker been in storage? Go through the entire initial setup process (see page 11).
• Is there water still in the pour-in reservoir? If so, the sprayhead may be clogged. Press power switch OFF and unplug the machine. Let cool for two hours. Then clean the sprayhead and sprayhead tube as per instructions on page 17. Plug the machine back in.

DELIMING TOOL DOESN'T GO IN ALL THE WAY

- Follow the sprayhead tube cleaning guidelines. (see page 18)

MACHINE ONLY PARTIALLY BREWED

- Has the coffeemaker been left on for an extended period without being used? If so, then the water tank may have needed to be topped off. Now that the tank has been refilled, brewing should provide the same volume as normal.

NOTE: there will always be slightly less volume of brewed coffee than water poured in to the coffeemaker. This is because some of the water is absorbed by the coffee grounds.

• [For coffeemakers using glass decanters] Is the warmer switch on? If not, turn it on.
• [For BT coffeemakers using a thermal carafe] Is the Thermal Carafe being pre-heated? See the note on page 13.

COFFEE IS COLD

- Is the coffeemaker unplugged and/or is the tank power switch in the OFF position? Make sure that the coffeemaker is plugged in and that the tank power switch is in the ON position. Allow 15 minutes for the water to reheat.

TROUBLESHOOTING

FUNNEL IS OVERFLOWING

• What kind of filters are you using? Your filters may be of the wrong porosity or size. Use BUNN filters: you can order more filters at bunn.com.
• Is your sprayhead in place? If the sprayhead is missing, the funnel will overflow.
• What kind of coffee are you using? What kind of water do you have? If you brew decaf or fine grind coffee, or if you use soft water, you may need a special flow restrictor sprayhead. One can be obtained by completing an online form at bunn.com/home-products/parts-form or by calling 1-800-352-2866 (USA), 1-800-263-2256 (Canada).

COFFEEMAKER MAKES RUMBLING NOISE

• Does this occur after a brew, and then intermittently throughout the day? This occurs normally as the water in the tank reheats to brew temperature and should last just a few minutes.
• Has the sprayhead tube been cleaned recently? If not, follow the instructions as found on page 16.

WATER FLOWS BEFORE LID IS CLOSED

• Make sure lid is completely open to activate the rubber stopper in the pour-in-bowl.
• The coffeemaker is not designed to hold water in the pour-in-bowl overnight.
• Remove the top lid to ensure that the rubber stopper is in place and the area is clean.

COFFEEMAKER LEAKS

• 1-800-352-2866 (USA), 1-800-263-2256 (Canada) or visit bunn.com/home-products/service-form.

NEVER DISASSEMBLE THE COFFEEMAKER. THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
