Overview
The BUNN Axiom DV-3 is a dual voltage automatic commercial coffee brewer with three lower warmers, sized around a 200-ounce tank for back to back brewing. It ships without a decanter, so a compatible BUNN carafe has to be bought separately.
BrewWIZARD gives it an LCD display for setting brew level, cold brew lockout and tank temperature from the front panel, while BrewLOGIC adjusts flow rate and brew time automatically in hard water areas. It runs at either 120V/15 amp or 120/208-240V/20 amp, which is what makes it usable in both a home kitchen and a standard commercial outlet.
- 200-ounce tank for back to back brewing
- BrewWIZARD LCD programming for brew level and temperature
- Dual voltage: 120V/15A or 120/208-240V/20A
- Automatic warmer shutoff and energy saver idle mode
Who it's for
Fits offices, clubs and small food service operations that need to keep three pots warm and ready through a shift. Less suited to anyone wanting a simple home drip machine, given the commercial plumbing and voltage setup involved.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Office and club buyers repeatedly praise the built in hot water tap and how reliably it keeps pots warm through busy stretches. The main complaints are a control board failure after roughly four years in one case, a first unit that did not work at all in another, and confusion from at least one buyer over BUNN's residential installation policy.
Strengths and trade-offs

- Dual voltage setup works on standard 120V or commercial 208-240V circuits

- Built in tank drain and diagnostics simplify service calls
