What is the name of the commercial grade coffee maker used for making
the drip coffee in Starbucks stores? I am NOT asking about the retail
coffee makers available for purchase in the stores.

Hello thechloe-ga,

The brand of coffee maker that Starbucks uses is a Bunn Digital
Brewer. I contacted my local Starbucks to get the answer to this
question. They told me that different stores may have different types.

The product line is available here:

Here is one selling for $629 on eBay:

I hope that this answer meets your needs! 

All the best,

tisme-ga

This coffee maker doesn't look like the ones in the actual stores.
Looking at the website you sent, the Starbucks one looks more like the
"urn" style, but not quite. Does Bunn modify that model for Starbucks?
Thanks again for your help. :)
