For bonus points, the ease and simplicity was still there, which makes it an approachable way for home consumers to start brewing better coffee. After the Moccamaster KBT finishes brewing, you can close the switch when you remove the carafe to prevent extraneous dripping, a small annoyance we experienced with the Bonavita Enthusiast coffee maker, which lacks a stop-drip mechanism. Again, this Breville brewer is SCA certified and able to brew to the Golden Cup Standard as one of its six brewing options. To judge consistency and usability, we brewed multiple pots with every machine, using generic paper filters and a good-quality medium-roast blend.

In my experience, the OXO machine can be a little finicky when it comes to getting the coffee to water ratio just right. Since the thermal carafe is made of stainless steel, how will you know when that delicious full pot of happiness finishes brewing? After looking into it a bit I found a crack in the plastic tube that surrounds the hot water supply tube. The ritual of smelling the freshly ground coffee, watching it puff up when the water hit it (the bloom), and enjoying the freshly made highly-aromatic elixir that came from it made drinking coffee an exciting part of my day.Bonavita has kindly agreed to sponsor a giveaway for your chance to win your own Bonavita 8-Cup Coffee Brewer With Stainless Steel Lined Thermal Carafe. Even after the lid is removed, it is very hard to completely empty the carafe without making a mess. The machine is the only one of our picks that does not include a drip stop, which means you can’t pour a cup during the brew cycle.

The case was later dismissed by a judge over a dispute of the terms of contract – which Espresso Supply is currently appealing. I’d be more than happy to enjoy an amazing cup of joe in the morning with just one press of a button. Once you brew your coffee into the thermal carafe and replace the cover, your coffee will stay hot for about four to six hours. It was well out of warranty, so after not being able to reset it or fix it, we decided to get another.I didn’t include this particular machine in my Best Coffee Maker Guide 2024, and you’re probably wondering what gives. It also lacks a brew-through lid, which causes the coffee to cool post-brewing if you don’t screw the carafe lid on immediately. But, during Bonavita’s rise, there were more than a few quietly growing conflicts behind the scenes. When the water reaches the right temperature, it will go through a pre-infusion process (optional setting, but I recommend using it), which means it will disperse a tiny bit of water over the coffee grounds before the full brew cycle.
