Experience
Get ready to experiment and produce Full Cup coffee and tea with a brew
method unlike any other you have tried.
trifecta MB
™
from BUNN utilizes the same Air Infusion™ technology as the
commercial model trifecta used in specialty barista shops and tea rooms
around the world. The essential flavor oils of coffee beans and tea leaves
are precisely extracted in three distinct phases to produce a deep, amplified
beverage described as Full Cup.
With 25 unique brew settings and the choice to prepare 6 to 12 oz. at a time,
you essentially achieve a personalized micro brew in each small batch. Enjoy
this elevated level of control and repeatability without sacrificing speed and
convenience.
Turbulence Cycle
Turbulence, or a mixing of the grounds or leaves, is created when air is infused into
the Brew Chamber. trifecta’s Turbulence Cycle control adjusts the sequence of
mixing and pausing. This is done to extract rich, deep flavors in coffee or tea. You
can choose from five Turbulence Cycles to unlock unique tasting notes specific to
individual coffee and tea origins and produce noticeable changes in your cup.
Infusion Time
The time water is in contact with coffee or tea determines the amount of
material extracted, a major component affecting flavor. trifecta’s Infusion Time
control offers 5 choices ranging from 40 seconds to 3 minutes to account for
different roasts of coffee beans and varying fragility of tea leaves.
Press Out
trifecta’s unique press out further amplifies the result in the cup when air in
the chamber presses the beverage through a fine-gauge metal screen. This
pressurized filtering intensifies the concentrated oils and aromatics not typically
retained in other brew methods.
With trifecta, whether you love to explore or find yourself repeating the same
setting, you will find yourself saying, “I need a Full Cup!”

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow these basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, and/or personal injury:
• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or
knobs.
• To protect against electric shock, do not
place cord, plug, or brewer in water or
liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when the
brewer is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use for
extended periods of time and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on
or taking off par ts, and before cleaning.
• Do not operate the brewer with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the brewer
malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Return the brewer to an Authorized Service Facility for examination,
adjustment, or repair.
• The use of an accessory not evaluated for
use with this brewer may cause injuries
and is not authorized.
• For indoor use only.
• Do not let the power cord hang over edge
of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place the brewer on or near a hot
gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not use brewer for other than its
intended use.
• Do not remove Brew Chamber, Brew
Pitcher or cup while brewing.
• Pressing the Brew Button during a brew
will cancel the Brew Cycle. The next Brew

• To avoid container over flow, empty Brew
Pitcher or cup before each Brew Cycle.
• Never place hands directly under the Brew

present.
• Do not place brewer in a sink or near
other water source. Remove Water
Reservoir and fill separately or remove
Water Reser voir Lid and fill in place with a
clean water container.
• When the brewer is idle, the Lid should be
in the closed position.
• Always use a Brew Pitcher or cup that is
larger than the water volume you filled in
the Water Reservoir.
• Keep hands away if container overflows.
Wait until brew finishes, let liquid cool,
then for subsequent brews pour in less
liquid or use a larger cup or Brew Pitcher.
• Never brew without the Brew Chamber
in place.
• Use cold water only.
• Do not pour any liquid into the Water
Reservoir other than water or vinegar for
cleaning, as specif ied in this manual.
• Do not clean Brew Chamber or Water

SETTING UP T R IFEC TA
IMP O RTA N T: trifecta has an internal Hot Water Tank that must be filled with water before first use.
1
Plug the unit into a standard 110V electrical outlet.
NOTE: The Brew Button and Reservoir Lights will alternately flash indicating that
the Hot Water Tank needs to be filled.
2
Remove Lid on Water Reservoir and pour in cold water
to the top 12 ounce mark. Wait as the water level drops
and the Water Reservoir empties completely.
Pour in another 12 ounces and wait for the water level to stabilize.
Add water to fill the Water Reservoir to the top 12
ounce mark. Place a cup with 12 ounce capacity
or the Brew Pitcher under the Brew Chamber and
press the Brew Button.
Water will automatically pump from the Water
Reservoir through the internal Hot Water Tank and
into the Brew Chamber. Then the water in the Brew
Chamber will press out into the cup or Brew Pitcher.
Repeat step 3 by emptying the cup or Brew Pitcher
and fill the Water Reservoir again. Press the Brew
Button.
After the water presses out the
second time, you should begin to
hear the sound of the heater bringing
water to the proper temperature. The Brew Button will begin to
flash. When the Brew Button light stays solid blue trifecta MB is ready to use.
HIGH ALTITUDE PROGRAMMING: Water boils at a lower temperature in high
altitude environments (over 4,000 feet). To program trifecta for use at high altitude,
remove the Brew Chamber and press the Brew Button 5 times quickly (within five
seconds). The Brew Button Light will quickly flash 5 times to indicate the brewer is
programmed for high altitude use. To return trifecta to normal operation, remove
the Brew Chamber and press the Brew Button 5 times (in under 5 seconds). The
Brew Button Light will quickly flash 10 times to indicate the brewer is programmed for
regular altitudes.
NOTE: High Altitude Programming can only be done after setup is completed and trifecta
MB is ready to use.
Insert Brew Chamber by lifting the Latch, press the Brew
Chamber into Air Infusion Nozzle at the base of the Brew
Chamber Platform and close the Latch.
