The nine brew control settings enable a user to control how much coffee goes into the cup (4-12 ounces) and how strong the coffee will be. This allows the user to satisfy a number of tastes, which helps when dealing with guests. The Bunn My Cafe is also capable of making a cup of coffee within thirty seconds. This allows a user in a rush to get what they need, quickly. When compared to another Bunn coffee maker, the STX, the My Cafe has several advantages, including being able to make coffee faster, and having brew control.
