This Bunn Home Coffee Maker is the Bunn-O-Matic NHBX-B Generation Model Home Brewer. Its list price is $139.99 but can be purchased at a large discount online for $86.81. It is a lower-mid range coffeemaker, but it gets excellent reviews for value and quality.

Its main feature is its fast speed of brewing. Aside from that it is pretty basic in terms of features. But Bunn products such as this one require little maintenance and cleaning, and are made in the USA so you can trust that they are worth what you are paying for them. Some companies have no shame in charging you $150 for something produced in China for $0.50.

This machine does not sputter and leak everywhere like a lot of coffeemakers in the same price range. They may lack some “fancy” features of other models. But they are durable, usually last 5 years or more, and produce consistently great coffee quickly. That’s rare in this day and age of outsourced junk!

Tazo’s China Green Tips Tea is a mixture of Chinese green teas grown up high in the mountains. Only newly harvested, light-colored green tea leaves tips of the tea plant are used in its production. Green tea can lose some of its flavour if it is not steamed soon after harvest, which is why Tazo steams the leaves without delay.

I live in Japan, near Kyoto which is renowned for its high quality green tea. But even I’m impressed by Tazo’s China green tea and its complex flavour. I think it rivals the Japanese green teas except for the ones you can get prepared from fresh leaves on site at the tea plantation. It’s as good or better than the widely available commercial teas. There are also a lot of Chinese green teas available here in Japan, but I have never tried one with the same consistent high quality as Tazo. Most Chinese producers’ teas are inconsistent in terms of flavor.
