Bunn-o-Matic, Visions of the Future of Beverages


The American Love Affair with coffee has gone on for more than a century. As time elapses, coffee makers become more and more complex, but the goal remains the same. Brewing cup after cup of full bodied coffee, for the enjoyment of coffee drinkers everywhere. One of the greatest soldiers in the war for a consistent, perfect cup of coffee would have to be George Bunn, the founder of the Bunn-o-Matic corporation. Bunn-o-Matic may be an international powerhouse of a company today, but it has come a long way from its humble beginnings back in the 1950's.

Bunn-o-Matic began with its founding back in 1957 after George Bunn invented the first fluted coffee filter. The fluted filter gave the filter enough body to stand on its own, and prevents spillage of grounds which can easily ruin an otherwise perfect cup of coffee. As time progressed, so did the inventiveness of George, and a few years later in 1963 the Bunn-o-Matic Corporation developed the very first automatic drip coffee maker for commercial use. This coffee maker was an instant success, and had a firm hold on the market for a few years until competitors caught up. Later, in 1972, Bunn continued with its coffee maker innovation and introduced the first commercial quality automatic drip maker for household use. Afterwards, Bunn became synonymous with a great cup of coffee.

The Bunn-o-Matic corporation didn't stop with just great and innovative coffee machines, it utilized its impressive manufacturing and inventive know how to introduce the world's first fresh brewed ice tea maker in 1978. Afterwards, Bunn continued to innovate the hot and cold beverage sector with designs of coffee makers that continue to increase in efficiency until this day. Other innovations that Bunn has on its impressive list of accomplishments are the first hot and cold water control system, built for restaurant use. Bunn pioneered precision control of the water heating process, and also built some of the beverage industries most excellent hardware, including America's first frozen drink system, and other juice dispensing machines. Bunn also more recently developed many hot and cold liquid beverage dispensers, which continue to lead the market in terms of efficiency.

The Bunn-o-Matic corporation has come a long way from its humble beginnings under George Bunn in Springfield, Illinois back in the 1950's. Today, Bunn has become a hallmark of quality across the spectrum of beverage machines, hot water temperature regulators, and restaurant grade dispensers. Whether it is hot tea, iced tea, frozen juice, espresso, or coffee, the Bunn-o-Matic corporation has developed a machine to meet the most stringent commercial requirements. Chances are, if you bought the cup of coffee in your hand right now, or on your way to work, it started as a trickle in a Bunn-o-Matic coffee maker.
