Hi Everyone. We like the way Bunn coffee makers work and have used them for some time. Unfortunately (and like many others) our very hard water causes them issues. Running vinegar through them fairly often helps but they usually get to a point where it is ineffective. They do make coffee but in the process hop and jump around and make a huge racket. Over a period of several years we have retired two of them already. So when the third one started to do the same thing I was to put it mildly furious. I have dissembled two already I was fairly familiar with the guts and as in the past there was nothing that would work as the problem was in the "boiler". This time I tried a new approach. My spouse just about died laughing when I told her what I called the procedure. Those of us over 70 will understand ...the rest of you will have to google "TURP". (BTW I had one last year and it was not a lot of fun) So I told her I TURPed the pot with a piece of Mogami wire. I stuffed about 18 inches of it into the output pipe and reamed it around. Voila.. it now works like normal. I am sure it is not a user recommended procedure but it apparently moved the crud inside away for the outlet tube.
