How To Adjust The Water Level In A Bunn Coffee Maker

For more than 50 years, Bunn coffee makers have been used in commercial and private settings. Multi-cup coffee makers’ water levels can be adjusted on all of them. Altering the amount of water for a pot of coffee is what Bunn calls adjusting the brew level. With the push of a button you can adjust the brew level. This article provides instructions on adjusting the water level in your Bunn coffee maker and much more.

Steps To Adjust The Water Level In A Bunn Coffee Maker

Once your coffee maker has been started, the water will run for some time before shutting off on its own. You run the risk of overflowing the coffee pot if the water pressure going into your coffee maker is too high. Water pressure that is too low in your coffee maker will only yield a half-full pot of coffee before it shuts off.

Step 1

Make sure the coffee maker is working correctly before adjusting its settings. Fill the tank to the recommended level based on the model you have. If you have a water line attached to your Bunn coffee maker, check that it is providing water properly.

Step 2

You should make sure that the “Set/Lock” switch located on the back of your coffee maker is in the “Set” position. You can find this switch on the switchboard. To access the switch, remove the back of the coffee maker.

Step 3

You can hear three clicks once you have pressed the “Start/Brew” button. After hearing the clicks, release the button. The setting will not change if the button is held down for two seconds after clicking. When the clicks have been heard, and the button is released, press the “Start/Brew” button one or two times in succession to increase the brew level. Each press of a button increases the amount of water released by two seconds. 

Step 4

If you press the “Start/Brew” button once or twice every two seconds less, the maker should release water. You need to hold the button for three seconds before releasing it. This will reduce the release of water. 

Step 5

Once the “Start/Brew” button is pressed, hold it for three clicks, and then release it. Keep an eye on the coffee maker as it releases water. After the water level is at the level you want for all future brewing, turn the “On/Off” switch at the back of the appliance to “Off.” After this, the coffee maker will remember that this is the brew time and will repeat this amount every time until the brewing level is changed.
