i live near a bunn service center. you bring in your bunn, pay about $25.00 and the give you a rebuilt one. i have one in the office you can have, just pay the postage.

the difference is something you can visualize.

bunn: six spoons of coffee in the 3 or 4 inch round filter. watr drips all over, so water only drips through part of the coffee. seems faster then most coffee pots.

cone filter coffee pot. same amount of coffee. all the water drips through almost all the coffee because the coffee is packed in a very small area, the bottom of the cone. pretty much just as fast as a bunn.

turn on the coffee, go to the bathroom, wash hands, coffee done.

if you want the bunn, i'll send you the one i have in the office. now that i am mostly retired, i don't make coffee in the office

Kona is a great coffee and stands alone well but in a blend I believe its characteristics will be more appreciated. To Lowman and Cigarnewb I roast my own coffee at home and will send you both a sample of a few different beans if you let me know what roast you prefer. My guess is that you go for the darker roast after a meal with a smoke. I'll send it in a week or two. Send me the snail where you want it to arrive at cooksta2 at a o l . com

Made a pot of the Kona light last night... mmmm, mmmm, good !!!

I did not know what to expect, so I made it a little weak... still good, but next time, I will add another scoop...

Lowman,

I think this is a GREAT wake me up in the morning coffee! I love it for breakfast, and then take a cup out with me for an early afternoon smoke. YUMMY!!

Everybody seems to be stuck on the Kona (although it is excellent coffee, if it's 100%) ...

... funny ... that no one has mentioned the Cuban coffee, Torquino, being an ISOM coffe and all ... 😉

I can't be the only one in here who's had it ... I'm sure!

I'm more preferential to the African beans. Kenya AA, Tanzanian peaberry, Yemen Mokha, Zimbabwa AA.

Slim,

I guess that's because I haven't tried Cuban coffee yet. I try to buy coffee that I know my wife likes. I'll have to try some of the Cuban coffee as soon as our current supply runs low.

hoagie55 --- hopefully you have a connection in Canada who can get it for you.

Just like Cuban cigars ... due to the Embargo ... it's illegal to buy it here in the U.S.

I didn't even think of that. I guess I'll pass on the cuban coffee for now.
