BUNN VPR 33200.0000 (12-Cup Pourover Coffee Brewer, 2 Warmers, 120V)

D0 No Radio — No radio at all. It cannot phone home.

The unplug test

You pour a pitcher of water in the top, and hot water sprays over the grounds in the funnel below within seconds -- there is no 'start' step to configure. A toggle switch turns each warmer plate on or off. Unplugging it stops the internal tank heater and the warmers; plugging it back in returns it to exactly the same manual, thermostat-controlled behavior, with nothing to reconfigure and no vendor involved.

Why this tier: BUNN's own Installation & Operating Guide for the VPR-VPS series describes a manually-filled pour-over brewer: the operator pours water in by pitcher, a control thermostat holds tank temperature, and warmers are switched on/off by front-mounted toggle switches. There is no brew-start button, no digital timer, and no programming step in the entire operating procedure -- brewing begins the instant water is poured in. No app, WiFi, or network feature is mentioned anywhere in the manual.
