BUNN saves energy through responsible product design
Converting product displays to energy-saving LED lights is just one way that BUNN is showing its commitment to saving energy through responsible product design. The company is expanding the use of LED lights in BUNN products with the conversion of the JDF Silver Series and other product lines.
LED lights have a longer life than fluorescent or incandescent bulbs and use considerably less energy. For example, by converting fluorescent lights to LED lights in the BUNN Gourmet Juice (JDF-2S and JDF-4S), 76 and 55 kilowatt hours (KWh) can be saved annually. That means these machines use from 39 to 54% less energy for lighting. Lights in the Powdered Autofill version of the BUNN Ultra Gourmet Ice have been converted from incandescent to LED, saving 63 kWh annually and using 60% less energy.
In addition, BUNN practices these energy-saving and environmentally sustainable practices: Energy Saver Mode – AXIOM®, My Café®, AutoPOD®, ITCB and many other new products have an energy saver mode feature that reduces power consumption by lowering or turning off the tank heater during periods of inactivity. Vacuum Servers vs. Traditional Warmers – BUNN features a full line of vacuum-insulated servers and brewers that brew directly into these servers. Our 1.0 and 1.5 gallon ThermoFresh® servers, airpots, thermal servers, and thermal carafes do not require electricity to keep coffee hot for hours. BUNN ThermoFresh Brewers, Infusion Series® Coffee Brewers, and AXIOM Brewers brew directly into insulated servers, saving energy. Traditional decanter and 1.5 gallon satellite brewers use electric warmer plates and consume electricity to keep coffee hot. Foam Insulation - Foam insulation free of HFC's (hydrofluorocarbons) is now used exclusively to insulate Soft Heat® servers and the cabinets of liquid coffee and cold beverage dispensers. Packaging – BUNN continues to replace Styrofoam packing with biodegradable materials when appropriate since the company wants to assure adequate packaging so that the product will not be damaged in transit. Electronics - Lead-free solder is used in the production of all electronic control boards. Recycled materials - Although post-consumer materials are not used in the manufacture of BUNN equipment because of its food-oriented nature, scrap materials such as plastics are recycled. For example, up to 15% of the composition of a plastic part will contain scrap left over from previous production runs. In addition, laser cutters and other sophisticated manufacturing equipment are used to assure optimization of all stainless steel, minimizing scrap. BUNN stainless steel contains recycled metal content, lessening its environmental impact.

Create exceptional specialty coffee in minimal space with the BUNN SmartWAVE Specialty Brewer. The SmartWAVE Specialty Brewer has a large funnel to accommodate a wide range of coffees and a 17-hole sprayhead to maximize turbulence and wetting. All SmartWAVE brewers include patented SmartWAVE technology that increases turbulence in the brew funnel, assuring uniform extraction and increased contact between water and coffee.
The SmartWAVE Specialty Brewer can brew into a variety of containers, including a 2.2 to 3.5 L airpot or a 1.9 L thermal carafe, thermal pitcher or thermal server using the slide-out booster tray. The SmartWAVE brews 3.9 to 6.4 gallons (14.8 – 24.2 litres) of perfect coffee per hour and is available in both 120 volt models (cord attached) and 120/240 volt models (no cord).

HV is newest addition to BUNN super-automatic espresso systems
BUNN Espress® HV adds operational ease and broadens the espresso drink spectrum of the BUNN line of super-automatic espresso systems. Whether you are serving customers cappuccino, lattes or espresso, the HV makes it easy to create wonderful, top-quality specialty beverages. The system creates espresso beverages and milk foam simultaneously; the milk is foamed separately with the automatic steam wand. The unit also includes a hot water dispenser for tea and other beverages.
Creamy and firm milk foam can be produced with incredible consistency using the “Intellisteam” steam wand technology. The HV can make 240 espressos, 200 coffees, or 240 tea beverages per hour and boasts an endless steam supply.
The HV is constructed of three modules, each of which can be changed in an instant. Since espresso systems are often difficult to maintain, the HV is quick and cost-effective to service by comparison. The brewing module includes 2 grinders and a stainless steel brewing unit for assured superior flavor and superb texture and body. The steam module contains a high-capacity, 4-litre boiler for continuous unlimited steam and hot water supply. The hydraulic module provides temperature controlled hot water for perfect espresso preparation.
The sophisticated operation includes a large, colorful touch-screen that can be customized to include all the espresso beverage options available. The clean cycle is automatic – just add a cleaning tablet and follow the prompts on the touch screen. All work steps, such as replenishing the coffee beans, emptying the grounds drawer or starting the automatic cleaning process are easy.
Versatile enough to suit all tastes, the HV is only 24 inches (600 mm) wide, fitting on most countertops, making it the right choice for traditional milk preparation with steam. The HV has a heavy-duty aluminum grinder with ceramic burrs, steam pipe made of Peek™, manual and automatic steam output, and a stylish chrome plated front panel.
The unit’s double hopper holds up to 1.5 lbs. of fresh beans, so that two separate roasts of espresso beans can be used. After the beans are ground, an intelligent modular brewing chamber adjusts espresso flavor, simulating the motion of a barista tamping and polishing the grind, so that espresso is extracted uniformly for optimum flavor.
Beverages in cups ranging from 4.5 to 7.4 inches tall can be created using the simple control panel.
The HV is available as a two-step S model, featuring a steam wand with a temperature sensor to prevent overheating of milk.
All BUNN Espress® HV models are supported by a full two-year parts and one-year labor warranty. The BUNNserve® nationwide network backs the HV with unequaled support and service.

BUNN Tea Basics is available on the BUNN website at www.bunn.com and on the website for the Tea Association of the USA at www.teausa.com. BUNN began building tea expertise in 1978 when BUNN introduced the first commercial iced tea brewer, allowing customers to enjoy fresh brewed iced tea in a foodservice environment. Since then, BUNN iced tea brewers and servers, tea concentrate dispensers, and the innovative Infusion Series® Tea and Coffee Brewer (ITCB) set the standard for iced tea brewing excellence. BUNN’s precision temperature water dispensers and the new single-serve AutoPOD™ brewer provide perfect hot tea.
Double your iced tea offerings with the Twin 3 Gallon Iced Tea Brewer
The new Twin 3 Gallon Iced Tea Brewers (TB6 and TB6Q) from BUNN enable you to easily increase or diversify your iced tea offerings. These versatile brewers meet your volume needs, brewing up to 6 gallons of iced tea into two, 3-gallon (11.36 litre) dispensers from one brewer. So you get more iced tea from a brewer that occupies a little more than 12 inches (12.15" or 30.1 cm) of counter space.
Control flavor extraction with the adjustable steep time (TB6 only) or decrease overall brew time utilizing the quickbrew (TB6Q) model.

Now you can have your coffee brewing questions answered by an expert: BUNN’s Dr. Brew. On the new blog, "Dear Dr. Brew" at www.deardrbrew.com, the sage coffee brewing expert and his capable crew field a variety of questions about brewing excellent coffee. With over 28 years of experience in working with coffee brewing technology, Dr. Brew excels at teaching people how to understand the chemistry of coffee brewing and how to brew coffee in easy-to-understand language. The Crew consists of a knowledgeable group of people at BUNN who work closely with Dr. Brew on a daily basis.
Based in Springfield, Illinois, USA, the Bunn-O-Matic® Corporation (BUNN) has a long history of innovation expertise in coffee brewing. Founded in 1957 by George Bunn, who pioneered the flat-bottom commercial paper coffee filter, and, later, the pourover coffee brewer, the family business has been credited with introducing many other innovations and key technologies to the beverage equipment industry.
The LCR-3 HV, BUNN’s new high-volume liquid coffee dispenser, brings a new level of ease and convenience to serving large amounts of coffee with easy cost-effective operations, electronic controls, and many other unique features. Its stainless steel outer cabinet allows the unit to easily fit into a commercial kitchen environment.
Minimal operator training is required since the LCR-3 HV can dispense up to three separate types of coffee. The unit can also be set up to yield three separate portions at the push of a button, allowing staff to fill carafes, cambros, or other large servers (up to five gallons or 18.9 litres at a time) effortlessly. In addition, the dispenser’s display alerts the operator when concentrate is low or cleaning is needed.
Labor costs are reduced through the optional "auto-switching" mode. This mode allows the operator to choose two pumps to dispense one flavor. When one bag-in-box (BIB) is detected empty, the system automatically switches to a secondary BIB. This eliminates the need to change a BIB during peak demands. There are no filters or grounds to handle, so labor costs are further reduced. In addition, storage costs are reduced since coffee extract requires less storage space than roast ground coffee.
Since only the coffee required is dispensed, the LCR-3 HV eliminates waste, stale or burnt coffee. Product life is extended and degradation reduced through the unit’s refrigerated product storage cabinet. Its modular refrigeration element is easy to service and keeps concentrate at a temperature of 41o to 65 oF (5° to 18.3°C), although the environment outside the dispenser might reach 95°F (35°C).
Multi-volt design is easily converted to ratings from 120/208 and 120/240 volts (50-60 Hertz) single phase up to a 120/208 three phase.

The new BUNN SmartWAVE® low profile brewer, at 17 inches in height, fits under a standard cabinet, making it an excellent choice for an office coffee setting. Turbulence is an important element in brewing perfect coffee. To enhance this, SmartWAVE technology was developed to provide uniformity of extraction and more contact between water and coffee. The result is a great cup of coffee.
The adjustable legs and slide out tray make it possible to brew into 1.9 liter thermal carafes as well as a variety of lever-action and push-button airpots. Easily transport these to remote serving areas and keep coffee hot and fresh for hours.
BUNN offers a Silver Series® version with analog switches, accompanied by red/green LED for programming and brewing status. Choose from three pulse brew routines to adjust the coffee flavor profile.
BrewMETER™ and pulse brew give control over the extraction time adjusting the coffee flavor profile for the standard SmartWAVE models. It also utilizes the same red/green LED read-out for brewer status. Energy-saver mode, standard on all models, reduces tank temperature during idle periods.

BUNN Successfully Completes ISO 9001:2000 Triennial Assessment
SPRINGFIELD, IL – The Bunn-O-Matic Corporation, a manufacturer of commercial and home beverage equipment, has announced that its facilities in Creston, Iowa; Springfield, Illinois and White Hall, Illinois facilities have successfully passed ISO 9001:2000 Triennial Assessment. All ISO registered companies must pass this complete audit of all aspects of Quality Management System once every three years in order to continue their registration.
The ISO 9000 series standards are internationally recognized quality management system requirements developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The standards emphasize on quality commitment and planning by top management and all employees. This “system input, system output” approach is measured and evidence of system performance must be demonstrated.
BUNN began the registration process in 1998. The White Hall, Illinois facility was added to the registration in 2003. As part of the process, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) performed an on-site assessment, examination of documented procedures and a survey of the company’s overall operations. To determine continued compliance with ISO 9001:2000, UL will periodically conduct routine surveillance audits of BUNN’s operations.
The successful completion of the Triennial Assessment was made possible by the ongoing and sustained efforts of BUNN employees to continually improve the Quality Management System. At the core of these improvement efforts is the belief that we must understand the customer's, both internal and external, requirements and complete the job right the first time. A key component of the ISO registration is an ongoing program of internal audits conducted by Bunn-O-Matic internal auditors to both educate affected parties to the standards, and, to assure compliance with ISO 9001:2000.
