The company came into existence in the year 1957 by its founder Mr. George Bunn who introduced to the market and was earlier, the sole manufacturer of fluted paper coffee filter. Just after this George Bunn redesigned his own invention and came up with the idea of fluting coffee filter paper into a stand-alone paper coffee filter.
The company and the founder was then the first people that revolutionized the coffee making industry again by introducing the first pour-over automatic drip coffee maker. The machine invented by George Bunn, the Bunn-O-Matic, was an almost immediate success, taking over the commercial coffee maker industry for years.
