Bunn VP17-3T — Commercial Pourover Coffee Brewer with 3 Warmers, No Plumbing Required

Higher-volume coffee service, no plumbing required

The Bunn VP17-3T is built for restaurants, banquet rooms, or higher-volume settings that need to keep several pots of coffee hot at once, without a plumbing installation.

Its three individually controlled warmers (two upper, one lower) let you manage several pots in rotation during busy service periods.

What sets it apart

Unlike the one- or two-warmer models in the same lineup, the VP17-3T keeps up to three pots at temperature at the same time, an advantage for sustained service.

The SplashGard® funnel diverts hot liquids away from the hand during filling — stainless steel on the 13300.6011 version, or plastic on the black 13300.6028 version.

Key specifications

• Three individually controlled warmers (two upper, one lower) — manages several pots at once.
• 120V power supply, approximately 1670W, 13.9A, with a NEMA 5-15P plug — plugs into a standard outlet.
• Brews up to 3.8 gallons (14.8 liters) per hour, roughly 12 cups per cycle.
• 213 W × 478 D × 439 H mm — the same footprint as the single-warmer model, despite the added capacity.
• Not plumbed — runs on manually poured water only, fully portable.
• Available in two configurations: 13300.6011 (stainless with a stainless steel funnel) and 13300.6028 (black with a plastic funnel).

Day to day

Pour hot water into the SplashGard® funnel, load ground coffee into the filter, and flip the switch. The three warmers let you keep several pots at temperature during sustained service, without re-brewing every time.

Who it's for / Who it's not for

• Ideal for: a restaurant, banquet room, or higher-volume setting that needs to keep several pots hot at once.
• Ideal for: those who want a rugged filter brewer without a plumbing installation.
• Less suited for: a small, low-volume office that only needs one pot at a time (see the Bunn VP17-1, more compact with a single warmer).
• Less suited for: buyers who haven't budgeted for servers — decanters and carafes are sold separately, and three warmers often mean buying more than one.

Category positioning

Within the category of commercial filter brewers without plumbing, the VP17-3T typically falls under $800, a price comparable to its one- and two-warmer versions. Its three warmers make it the most versatile option in the lineup for sustained-volume service.
