Bunn MCPA, Use And Care Manual

8

• 

HEATING INDICATOR

 - This light indicates that the heater is bringing water up 

to temperature. A brew cycle cannot be started until the indicator has gone out. 

(During a brew cycle, this light will come on indicating the tank heater is warming 

the new water entering the tank.)

• 

POD HOLDER INDICATOR

 - This indicator identifies a missing or unlocked pod 

holder. Before a brew cycle can be started, the pod holder must be  inserted and 

locked into place. 

• 

TEA BREW BUTTON

 - Depress this button to brew a serving of tea or coffee. 

Pressing it again will cancel a brew cycle in process.

 You will notice that the 

water flow will pulse on and off when brewing with this setting. This is normal. 

(Can also be used to brew a stronger more robust serving of coffee.)

• 

VOLUME CONTROL INDICATOR

 - The markings on the bottom of the cont-rol 

panel correspond to the VOLUME CONTROL SLIDE LEVER and are used for 

setting the brew volume. (Approximately 118 to 355 ml (4 to 12 oz.) in 30 ml (1 

oz.) increments can be brewed based on the setting of the lever.)

NOTE:

 Because some pods will absorb more water than others, the finished serving 

size may vary slightly.

FEATURES

• 

SLEEP MODE

 - If the brewer has been idle for 6 hours, it will reduce power to 

conserve energy. After 26 hours, the brewer will shut down completely. When 

either of these two sleep modes occur, the Pod Holder Release Button will no 

longer be glowing red. To wake the brewer up, press either the Coffee or Tea Brew 

button, or eject the pod holder. The light and heater will come back on.

• 

BREW CANCEL

 - If it is necessary to cancel a brew cycle, this can be done by 

pressing either the Coffee or Tea button again. Although some water may drip out, 

the pump will immediately stop forcing water through the pod holder. Always wait 

for hot liquid to stop before removing the pod holder.

CAUTION:

 When a brew cycle is canceled, it will not finish dispensing it’s previous 

brew volume when the button is pressed again. The memory is reset and the brewer 

will dispense a full volume as indicated by the Volume Control Lever. This could 

cause a cup to overflow if it is not emptied prior to pressing the button a second 

time.

• 

MIN & MAX MARKINGS

 - The side of the water reservoir bears the  markings 

“MIN” and “MAX”. These markings indicate the minimum and maximum amount 

of water that can be placed in the reservoir. If the minimum amount of water is 

not in the reservoir, the brewer will not operate. These markings are referenced 

throughout this booklet. 

• 

PULSE BREW™

 - Using the Tea Button will cause the brewer to perform a pulse 

brew operation. A Pulse Brew cycles the water on and off to effectively steep the 

tea to extract the proper flavor. The “On-Off-On” water flow is normal. Always wait 

for the blue (brew) lights to go out, and the red BUNN light o come back on before 

carefully removing the mug or pod holder.  Pressing either brew button during this 

operation will stop the brew cycle. (See the 

“Brew Cancel”

 feature above for more 

information.)
