Q: What is BrewWISE technology?
A: BrewWISE allows the brewer to store and execute coffee recipes digitally and communicate with compatible grinders, ensuring consistent grind, strength, and extraction across every batch.

Q: What type of servers does it use?
A: It brews into ThermoFresh or satellite-style servers (sold separately), designed for portable service and hot holding without traditional warming plates.

Q: What are the key brewing features?
A: Key features include pre-infusion, pulse brew, digital temperature control, variable bypass for strength adjustment, and programmable freshness indication for consistent quality control.

Q: Does it require plumbing?
A: Yes. It is a plumbed automatic commercial brewer with a direct water line connection for continuous operation.

Q: What are the electrical requirements?
A: It typically operates on 120/208–240V single-phase power, drawing about 1800–4500W depending on configuration, making it suitable for commercial installation.

Q: What is the Bunn Single GPR DBC best used for?
A: It is best suited for high-volume cafés, hotels, cafeterias, and institutional foodservice environments that need consistent, automated brewed coffee with minimal variation and fast throughput.

Maintenance Tips

• Daily sprayhead cleaning (critical): Remove and clean the sprayhead to keep all jets open. Blockage causes uneven saturation and weak or inconsistent extraction across batches.
• Deliming routine (1–3 months): Use a deliming spring in the spray tube to break mineral scale buildup. Scale reduces flow rate, slows brew cycles, and disrupts BrewWISE volume accuracy.
• Clean brew funnel & Smart Funnel system daily: Wash funnels thoroughly to remove coffee oils and ensure reliable wireless recipe/grinder communication.
• Wipe exterior & control panel daily: Keep LCD, funnel detection area, and splash zones clean to avoid sensor misreads in BrewWISE operations.
• Flush hot water faucet weekly: Prevent mineral blockage and maintain reliable hot water output for cleaning and beverage prep.
• Monitor brew temperature consistency: Internal scaling reduces heating efficiency and can cause under-extraction or flavor drift in programmed recipes.
• Maintain water pressure (20–90 PSI): Stable inlet pressure is required for consistent 12.5 GPH output and proper BrewWISE flow compensation.
• Descale internal tank periodically: Prevents recovery lag and ensures stable back-to-back brewing during peak service.
• Inspect seals, funnels, and fittings: Prevent leaks and ensure correct funnel seating for BrewWISE recognition accuracy.
• Keep brewer level & ventilated: Ensures accurate batch volume and protects electronics and heating elements from overheating stress.
