The trifecta
Get ready to experiment and produce Full Cup coffee and tea with a brew
method unlike any other you have tried.
™
trifecta MB
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.
from BUNN utilizes the same Air Infusion™ technology as the
®
Experience
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!”

manner. Return the brewer to an Authorized Service Facility for examination,
adjustment, or repair.

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.
Plug the unit into a standard 110V electrical outlet.
1
NOTE: The Brew Button and Reservoir Lights will alternately flash indicating that
the Hot Water Tank needs to be filled.
Insert Brew Chamber by lifting the Latch, press the Brew
2
Chamber into Air Infusion Nozzle at the base of the Brew
Chamber Platform and close the Latch.
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.
