The same basic steps used to brew coffee or tea can be used to obtain 

hot water by leaving the coffee pod or tea bag/pod out of the pod holder.  

CAUTION: The water from your BUNN

200°F. This is hotter than the hot water from your faucet and must be 

Brewing delicious coffee is similar to cooking any favorite food. Both 

require a good recipe. Proper coffee making requires quality equipment to 

precisely control water temperature, volume, and brew time. The BUNN

® 

Pod brewer assures consistency in your recipe by controlling all of these 

elements. The only variables remaining in the recipe are the amount of 

coffee and the volume of hot water used to extract the desired flavor.

The amount of coffee is generally determined by the pod size. (Pod 

size can vary and is determined by the manufacturer.) For best results, we 

recommend following the chart provided in the “Golden Cup Standard” 

section. (See Fig. 3, Page 12)

Hot water extracts many elements from the coffee, some desirable, 

some not. The amount of coffee used and the amount of water passed 

through the coffee determines strength. Increasing the amount of coffee 

(by using a larger pod) results in a stronger beverage. Decreasing the 

amount of coffee (by using a smaller pod) with the same amount of water, 

results in a weaker beverage. Too much water and too little coffee can 

result in over-extraction. Over-extracting the coffee can cause an unwanted 

bitter taste.

As the amount of coffee decreases, you’ll note an increase in the 

bitterness of the beverage. This happens because the hot water begins to 

remove the undesirable elements after all of the desirable elements have  

been extracted.

Fresh coffee gives the best results. Always store the coffee pods in a 

sealed, air tight container. Store in a cool, dry area away from other food 

items with strong odors. 

When  properly  brewed,  the  difference  between  the  best  quality  coffee 

and a poor quality coffee becomes very dramatic. Proper brewing requires 

little effort with the BUNN

You’ll always have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:

1)  Always start with clean equipment.
2)  Always use fresh cold water.
3)  Use the chart in the “Golden Cup Standard” section to achieve a consistently 

great cup of coffee with a full-bodied flavor and aroma. However, the real 

criteria is personal taste.
