Overview
The Bunn 12950.0213 CWTF-3 plumbs into a water line to brew automatically, pairing a hot water faucet with a backup pourover option for when a plumbed hookup isn't available. Coffee decanters are not included and are sold separately.
A SplashGard funnel is built in to deflect hot liquid away from the hand while pouring, and the stainless steel body is designed and assembled in the USA. Reviewers who use it daily report high volume output, though at least one had a heating element and hot water faucet fail within a month and struggled to reach manufacturer service.
- SplashGard funnel deflects hot liquid during pouring
- Automatic plumbed brewing with backup pourover feature
- Built-in hot water faucet
- All stainless steel construction, designed and assembled in the USA
Who it's for
Suited to offices, churches or small cafes brewing large volumes of coffee daily and able to plumb the unit in. Less suited to buyers who want decanters included in the box or who need straightforward direct warranty support if a part fails.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Long-term users call it a great coffee maker capable of brewing over 15 pots a day without trouble. On the negative side, one buyer had the heating element and hot water faucet fail after just a month and could not get Amazon to replace it, needing to deal with the manufacturer directly, and another received two units when they only wanted one and could not get the extra returned.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Plumbed automatic brewing with a built-in hot water faucet
- Backup pourover option when not plumbed in
- Stainless steel construction, assembled in the USA
- Handles high daily volume per long-term reviewers
- Decanters not included, must be bought separately
- One buyer's heating element and hot water faucet failed within a month
- Manufacturer warranty service was reported as hard to reach
Performance notes
Once plumbed in, the unit brews automatically and the hot water faucet draws from the same line, with the pourover feature available as a fallback if plumbing isn't connected. Reviewers who kept theirs running report brewing more than 15 pots a day without issue, though when something does go wrong, at least one buyer found manufacturer service hard to reach compared to a simple Amazon return.
