Bonavita BV1900TS 8-Cup Carafe Coffee Brewer, Stainless Steel by Bonavita

Product Information

We have moved on to the Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS which I wish we had purchased in the first place. But the plastic base that sits under the carafe is flimsy and falls off whenever the machine is moved (you could do without it if you don’t mind a couple drips on your counter). A powerful and precise 1500-watt heater which maintains the optimal brewing temperature of 93 degrees Centigrade. The Bonavita 8 Cup Coffee Brewer with Thermal Carafe Features include: Awarded Certified Home Brewer by the SCAA. However, despite fiddling with different settings, we failed to brew a good pot of coffee, turning out an acrid, one-dimensional brew each time.

My main grief is with the thermos can itself: without the lit's impossible to pour water in the machine or the coffee in your cup and not spill.The two brands each had different US based distribution companies, but last year Smartco decided to go with new distributors for both brands. Still, keep in mind that you may have to pull it out to fill the water reservoir, as that part isn’t removable. I always recommend drinking your coffee fresh, but I have left coffee in the lidded carafe for up to 3 hours and it has stayed warm. The offer for training is available to all commercial 2,3 and 4 group machines purchases and also where indicated.

After looking into it a bit I found a crack in the plastic tube that surrounds the hot water supply tube. Partly becausethere could be roaches in ground coffee, but mostly because you’ll miss out on the true flavor of the coffee. The shower head soaks all of the coffee grounds at the same time, as opposed to a classic drip coffee maker where there’s only one outlet for water in the middle.

Developed by coffee science experts and professional coffee tasters, this program reviews brewers designed for in-home use to determine if they meet the rigorous requirements of brewed coffee quality as determined by the SCA.And the brew-through lid is an improvement from older Bonavita models we’ve tested (including a former pick, the Connoisseur), which require you to remove the lid for brewing—and replace it when done brewing, to keep your coffee warm. But its extra features (a watery single-cup setting and a milk-frothing wand) don’t add a lot of value, and it’s now available only with a glass carafe, which we don’t recommend.

Pre-wetting has shown to give far superior extraction results and brings out the taste profiles in your chosen coffee beans.We were all taught that most brewers don’t get water hot enough or spit it out at the right rate,” said Katie Carguilo, western coffee manager at Counter Culture Coffee.
