More from this brandAll Bunn coffee machinesOverview
The Bunn VP17-2 is a stainless steel pourover coffee brewer built for offices, churches and break rooms that need coffee without a plumbing hookup. It holds two carafes on individually controlled warmers and brews up to 3.8 gallons per cycle, though carafes are sold separately.
This is described as a light duty pourover brewer suited to offices, churches and waiting areas, not a high volume cafe machine, with Bunn rating it for up to 60 cups an hour. It needs no plumbed water line, so setup is just filling the internal tank by hand before each brew cycle.
- Brews up to 3.8 gallons per cycle
- Rated for up to 60 cups an hour
- SplashGard funnel deflects hot liquid
- Two individually controlled warmers
Who it's for
Suits offices, churches and waiting areas that want a dependable stainless brewer without installing a water line, and don't mind manually filling the tank. Not a fit for anyone expecting a carafe in the box or wanting a compact single cup machine.
Pros and cons
- No plumbing hookup needed, just fill and brew
- Two independently controlled warmers
- All stainless steel construction
- One reviewer found the tank noticeably loud while heating
Performance notes
Water heats in an internal tank rather than through a plumbed line, so you fill it by hand before each brew. The SplashGard funnel is meant to keep hot water off the operator's hands during pouring, and the two warmers run independently so one carafe can stay hot while the other is refilled.
