-Bonavita 8 Cup Coffee Maker, One-Touch Pour Over Brewing with Thermal Carafe, SCA Certified, Stainless Steel (BV1900TS)

I've had this coffee maker for about 30 months. I love it. It's not fancy, nor does it make fancy, coffee shop drinks. It's a simple machine for making good drip coffee. I like it because: 1) the coffee is good. 2) machine is reliable - 30 months of daily use. 3) thermal carafe keeps coffee hot while saving electricity over warming plate. 4) it is quick - 8 cups in about 6 minutes. About once a month I descale by cycling a vinegar and water mix through the machine. One thing - thermal carafe is more difficult to clean than glass carafe. The inside of my carafe is stained a deep brown color.

I used to have another coffee maker for years. I though thought it did what it was supposed to do and coffee was coffee. When I would go to measure out the coffee for the morning brew, I would just eyeball it and make coffee. Coffee was coffee, right? A few weeks ago the coffee maker I didn't think much about because it did its job decided to stop working. It could have been sabotaged by my girlfriend who "cleaned" it, but dead none the less. Like with any appliance or object that needs to be replaced, I over-analyzed it and started looking into different coffee makers. I wanted a good one because I drink coffee every day and to me, it's worth the investment to find something that makes great coffee and has received favorable reviews. In my research of a day or so, I discovered there was this organization called the Specialty Coffee Association. They have criteria on what it takes to make a great cup of coffee. Those criteria are then used to review coffee makers. Bonavita Connoisseur (BV1901TS) meets that criteria and it shows up in the quality of the coffee. It's a great simple coffee maker that makes great coffee. I followed the instructions and measured out my coffee of freshly ground coffee. Basically, it's 2 tbsp of coffee per cup. If you have 8 cups, you need 16 tbsp or 1 even cup of ground coffee. Also used filtered water because the coffee really is the sum of all the ingredients and you can't cut corners on water. I did hold down the button for the power to turn on Pre-Infusion. The results leave you with a really clean, flavorful cup of coffee where I immediately tasted a huge difference. There was no bitterness. Another thing I make sure of, that it wasn't heating the coffee after it was done and instead it put the contents into a thermal carafe. This makes a huge difference if you're coming back to the pot for more coffee. It keeps the coffee pretty warm for a long while and allows you to have the same quality coffee you did when you made it. I've had experiences with my other coffee maker where subsequent cups tasted horribly after being cooked on a burner. The thermal carafe was something I didn't know I needed until I tried it. So what's the purpose of the review? Are you apprehensive about buying a coffee maker at $150 bucks and not sure about that type of investment? I think you can rest assured that this is a solid purchase as it makes a cup of coffee at a high level if all your looking for is a simple coffee maker. It doesn't have all the extra bells and whistles another coffee maker could possibly have. For me, I didn't need my coffee maker on my Wi-Fi or be able to do multiple jobs to earn its place in my kitchen. I just needed it to do its job at a high level and it does that. If that is also your criteria for a coffee maker, rest assured. I will say the only downside I can think of is the amount of coffee it makes. It would have been nice if it was on the 10 cup side instead of just 8. I hope you find the cup of coffee you're looking for.

I've been using this coffee maker for 2 weeks now. I always wait a few weeks, or a many uses, before writing reviews, because sometimes first impressions distort our opinions of a product. There are many good reviews already for this product, but hopefully mine can add even more information before you make a decision to purchase. If you've used the most commonly purchased brands of coffee pots your entire life thus far, like me, then using this coffee brewer might confound you a little bit at first. This is because Bonavita has one main goal: making the coffee taste the best that it can, while other coffee makers have more bells and whistles. This coffee maker has no bells and whistles, and, depending on your coffee-drinking preferences and habits, that's either a really good thing, or a big disadvantage to this product. Capacity: One of the most important questions: what does "8 cups" mean? Ok, every coffee maker uses slightly different measurements and claims. For this particular model, one cup is 5 ounces (not really a "cup" of coffee in my mind!). In total, the machine makes 40- ounces. Strangely, the carafe holds more, so I've been "tricking" the coffee maker by pouring another 8 ounces of water into the reservoir mid-process! So, I'm often making more like 48-50 ounces of coffee, and it works fine to do that. (Add more coffee grounds accordingly if you do that, obviously.) Some differences to what you may be used to (if you've bought $35 coffee pots up to this point, like me): The main difference is that there is no heating/warming plate on the bottom (this is ultimately a good thing for coffee, I've come to learn). Keeping coffee hot on a plate on the bottom actually alters the coffee a lot (water evaporates, some plates "burn" the bottom, etc.). This is why I'd recommend only buying the version with the thermal carafe, unless you're a one-cup-at-a-time drinker (in which case I'd recommend a different brewing method all together--some kind of pour over set up.) Another somewhat odd difference from most coffee makers I've owned is the basket part that holds the grounds during brewing. It rests on top of the carafe. It is not held in place from above. Why does that matter? It's more a matter of convenience, really. Once the brewing is done, you want to put the lid of the carafe on to keep the coffee hot. In order to pour your coffee, that basket has to go somewhere. But where does the basket for grounds go? Um...??? I don't know! So, now I put a small plate on my counter top to set the basket on, or I put it in the sink right away (if the sink is empty.) Needing to improvise to finish the process of drinking my coffee was not ideal. At any rate, it's certainly not a deal-breaker for me, but it is the single biggest reason it doesn't get a 5-star rating for me. A well-designed product should have a plan in mind for where all it's parts end up before and after the production process. Brewing: It brews really fast; +/- 5 minutes. One issue to be aware of is this: it produces a lot of steam directly above the grounds' basket. Because of this, I wouldn't recommend keeping it under your cabinets during brewing. I pull it out beyond the bottom of the cabinets, use it, then push it back under the cabinets before heading out to work. This is because the machine makes much hotter water during brewing than most coffee pots. It's a good thing for the coffee, but might not be a good thing for your cabinets if that's where you keep your coffee maker. Clean-up: Another minor reason I'm going with 4 stars (I'd probably do 4.5 stars if I could) is the carafe lid. It pours very nicely, but it's not the easiest to clean. You're supposed to disassemble the lid to clean, but putting it back together is a hassle. So, I just add water into the carafe, rinse several times, and pour the clean water out through the carafe lid. Once a week or so, I'll do a "big" cleaning of the entire thing. Speaking of cleaning, the carafe, although very high quality, always retains some water no matter how I try to put it in the drying rack. If you don't drink coffee every day, make sure you fully dry the carafe before storage,or it will eventually smell like mildew. In order truly to get it dry every time, you really need to put a towel or paper towels in there, which is tricky if you have large hands. In sum, clean-up could be just a bit easier overall. Styling and size: I think it looks great! It also has a smaller footprint than most current coffee makers, so it's a good space-saver. SUMMARY OF REVIEW: Pros: --makes great coffee! (even from pre-ground coffee, it's noticeably better than what my $100 Cuisinart made.) --fast brewing (probably 5-6 minutes for the entire pot.) --very nice thermal carafe; keeps coffee hot for about 1.5 hours and drinkably warm (my opinion) for about 3-4 hours. --small footprint --auto turn off; never worry that you left it on, because you can't! Cons: (some of these really aren't "fair" because the product doesn't make any claims about them, but nonetheless the consumer might want to consider them.) --A rather awkward way of dealing with the grounds' basket (where does it go after brewing?) --Not the easier carafe and carafe lid to clean --Not programmable (you can't wake up to already - done coffee, if that's important to you), but this is offset by really fast brewing. --Short cord; I'd like another foot or so for more counter placement options.

I bought this coffeemaker almost a year ago on Amazon and I have a lot to say. Long story short, I think it's a great design and it makes excellent coffee, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be made to last very long. Sometimes I wonder, if I had paid full price on Bonavita's website would I have gotten a better quality coffeemaker. I feel like mine was somehow part of a large number of rejects that sat in a warehouse for many years, perhaps enduring long periods of extreme temperatures or something, only to be sold for less than half the price on Amazon (it was like $97 when I bought it - and I see the same one is now $149). First, when I ordered and received it, they sent me one that seemed used - with water stains everywhere, and grime all over the inside, and instruction manual that had been soaked in water and dried, all crumpled and wrinkly; again could have either been used or stored poorly. So I sent it back, got a refund, and tried ordering one more time. The second one I got, which I have now, came obviously brand new - so I felt better about it initially; though I later realized the descaling powder packet they sent with it had an expiration date of 2016(!!!!!!!!!!!) and at the time it was the end of 2019. What does that mean exactly? Hmmmm. Well, the expired descaling powder didn't work, and I had to use a different powder to clean it out. And after about 11 months, it's still making great coffee. But here's another issue - the clear plastic water reservoir on the machine, which is never subject to extreme temperatures in my home, has numerous cracks in the plastic around the top edge (if I think of it I'll take pictures of these cracks and upload them). When I first discovered these cracks, I thought that was the end of the coffee pot. However, miraculously, the cracks are all on the outside and the inside of the reservoir is still sealed. So it works. Another issue I had happened while descaling it - when descaling powder is in the coffee pot, it stopped brewing before the reservoir emptied; and it seemed like if you ran the coffee pot several times in a row, it would work less and less well, having more and more trouble completing the brewing process. This still sometimes happens when I use descaling powder - but I only notice it then. Again though, not a good sign or very confidence building; seems cheap and weak (perhaps it just gets too hot and needs to rest though). The steel carafe is great. Love how the basket attaches to the carafe to make the coffee, and you're forced to remove it to add the lid and pour; nice because I don't leave old coffee grounds sitting in it for long. In any case, we will see how long this thing lasts. With all the evidence that this is probably part of some big stock of rejects that was stored in non-ideal conditions and later sold on Amazon, well I guess it explains why it costs so much here than the Bonavita website. Still, would I pay full price for it on the Bonavita website? I don't know; I'd be nervous that I was wrong, and that these things are just cheap no matter where you buy them. Hmmmm. Shrug emoji. Update 1/2/21: The cracks in the water reservoir have finally worn through and I can no longer fill it without leaking. So despite my, um, charitable initial review I now have to conclude that this is a piece of JUNK and one would not be advise to spend any amount of money on it, and certainly not the $97 I paid for it. For that price it should have lasted at least 3 years. And it lasted barely one year before becoming another thing for the garbage pile. So thanks for nothing. 1 star. Never buying this crap brand again. Looking forward to the Oxo coffee maker I just ordered from Target. it ain't no lie, baby, BYE BYE BYE.

Well, so far, my new Bonavita BV1900TS Coffee Brewer is brewing beyond my expectations. The coffee is great, and so is the carafe, unlike some reviewers' statements here. After running three cycles of tap water, here are my results of the third cycle – after about a half an hour cool down period. I never pre-heated the carafe, and it was about room temp before the third cycle. I used two different digital thermometers which I had previously tested as accurate with boiling water, and ice water. All readings are in Fahrenheit. 1. Placing the thermometer in the steady stream from the spray head showed 204 degrees. 2. Inside carafe after brewing stopped (no coffee or filter in basket) showed 190 degrees. All seemed very well, so I went straight to a coffee test. I used freshly ground Haitian Blue beans from Fresh Roasted Coffee (See here) . My usual routine is two 20oz cups initially, with about 16oz poured each time. So, I filled the brewer up to the 6-cup line (approximately 30oz – 887 grams if interested) with bottled spring water. I ground 40gms of the beans, and poured them into one of the provided paper filters (see my side note near the end of this review). I placed the basket on top of the room temperature carafe and placed the assembly on the brew plate. I seldom drink strong coffee, so my water/coffee ratio was about 22 to 1 instead of the 15 to 1 that many “experts” often recommend. But, as with my previous Bunn MCU single-cup (See here) , I used the pre-infusion option. I turned it on, and here are my timings: 0:00 to 00:40 - Initial water heating 0:40 - Gurgling began and drops of water for pre-infusion began dripping 1:05 - Water drops mostly stopped and pre-infusion soaking continued 1:30 - Regular coffee brewing began - more gurgling 4:45 - Water in reservoir was depleted and louder gurgling started 5:00 - Gurgling stopped but some dripping continued 5:15 - Auto-shutoff ended the brewing process 5:20 - Removed assembly, and still had some water in basket, and slight dripping from it 6:00 - Removed basket when water was gone, and measured coffee temp in carafe – 179 degrees Put the lid on the carafe, poured my first 16oz cup, and measured the cupped coffee at 173 degrees. Then, I proceeded to enjoy a wonderful cup of coffee! I restrained myself, and waited an hour before getting my second cup. After the hour was up (actually 1 hour and 10 minutes), I measured the temp of the coffee – in the carafe. 158 degrees. Perfectly acceptable to me. A day later, and probably my third or fourth brewing, I was called away from home right after I poured my first cup. I got home four hours later, and I measured the temp of the second cup still in the carafe. 121 degrees with the room at 66 degrees. Drinkable for me without even nuking it, but probably not for most diehard coffee drinkers though. But, I was still impressed with the 55 degree differential after four hours! So, overall, I have to rate the Bonavita BV1900TS and the carafe with a hearty 5 stars. Both the brewer and the carafe met or exceeded my expectations with everything that mattered as far as coffee brewing and heat retention was concerned. The spray head seemed to work perfectly and appeared to flow evenly from all holes, although the drips seemed to switch among different holes at times – a plus, in my opinion, if anything. As a side note, my Capresso 560.01 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder (See here) does grind the beans quite finely even at the coarsest setting, so the water on top of the grounds at the end of the brewing cycle could be attributed to that fact. Capresso did kindly offer to adjust my grinder, but I declined since it would entail packing, shipping, waiting, etc. Someday, I plan to upgrade to a higher-end grinder, but it all seems doable for now. My only complaint is, as some have noted, getting the last of the coffee poured from the carafe is a bit awkward, but not enough of an issue to reduce my 5-star rating. I hope my details help you when checking out various coffee brewers. At the moment, I feel that I made the right decision. Should my opinion change after using this brewer over a longer time, I will provide an update. Just to note for this review, I did NOT receive a discount (except for the $8.62 Amazon's BIGTHANKS discount that could have been applied to any purchase) or any other compensation for my purchase or my review. Also, please note that I have no connection to Bonavita except for being a very satisfied customer at this time. All opinions stated here are completely my own. Heck, I don't even have an Amazon affiliate code for the links.

I was replacing my 2013 Bonavita after it began to act up. It ran perfectly for 8 years! From my experience this is an extraordinary lifespan for a coffee maker. Ordinarily I would have to replace my coffee maker (popular brand) every year. They would just stop working and have to be tossed. But the Bonavita lasted. I loved it. It is compact, simple, and brews great coffee. I can’t believe I am writing this review but after 8 years, saying good bye to this trusted friend is impacting me in a way I didn’t expect. My wife says if this is the only thing you are sad about, you are lucky. But she doesn’t get it. I make the coffee in the morning; she just comes down and enjoys it. So the Bonavita finally gives out after 8 years (it still works but it struggles). No big deal. I will buy a new one. But this is where the story gets sad and why I was compelled to write this review. There are two new Bonavita models. I was wary of the one with the insulated carafe because I didn’t think it would keep my coffee hot. I like it very hot and drink it over a couple of hours during the morning, so I went with the glass carafe with the hot plate. I wasn’t happy about the glass carafe because they replaced the sturdy plastic handle with a thin glass handle. It looks nice but feels delicate in the hand. But not a big deal because I figure I can just use my old carafe. All was good as I sipped my coffee until the hot plate turned off after 40 minutes. Had to be a mistake or something I could adjust. I pour over the manual. Nope. It is set to turn off in 40 minutes. Why? I have no idea but clearly it was not designed for people who like to leisurely drink coffee in the morning. So I return it and opt for the insulated carafe. Unfortunately, that too was not ideal for exact the reason I expected: the carafe didn’t keep the coffee hot and it went tepid too quickly. I like iced coffee and hot coffee but definitely not tepid coffee. That’s just the way it is. Sadly, I returned this Bonavita too and was forced to move on from my trusted friend. I bought instead the highest rated coffee maker, very popular, a brand that I never would have associated with coffee makers. It had many features, too many, and too many parts and buttons. Bonavita was beautiful in its simplicity with three parts: the coffee maker itself, the carafe, and the cone for the filter and coffee. It had one button that started the brewing process and no chimes or annoying beeps that wake up the rest of the house. This new one had it all. It had removable water basin (which I like), a lid for the basin, a carafe with its own strange lid, a cone insert that pops out for cleaning, a dashboard of buttons of brewing options and another glowing clock because we need these everywhere. The coffee tastes good, very good even, but I am sad and hoping this review will reach Bonavita who will make some adjustments to their newest models. Really just two adjustments: extend the hot plate time back to the original 1.5 hours minimum, and keep the old design to the carafe. It was a perfect coffee maker and I miss it.

Its a fine coffee maker but not for $108+. We have a 10 yr old Mr Coffee my fiance bought in college for $25 and we were ready for an upgrade. So I decided to test via comparison after landing on this highly rated mid range maker: I ground the same amount of coffee from the same bag, same grind setting, same coffee filter and same amount of water. Served up a cup of each and then we tried, I could not tell much difference and I knew which was which, my Fiance who did not know which was which, couldn't tell much difference. In the end we both were able to point to which was the new maker as tasting a little stronger but not in a life changing $100 way. We also tested with the pre-infusion setting and it was the same result for us. At this point I was happy to keep it until I noticed some gaping issues that against speak to it not being worth so much. Usability issues: 1. The Carafe does not have marking on it to know how many cups you have when filling up the tank, this can lead to not putting enough in and having to get more (annoying) or getting to much then dumping some out and wasting the water. 2. The carafe does keep it warm and probably is much better than our existing glass carafe with hot plate. However you have to use the lid for it to stay warm which is fine but with the lid on it no longer fits in the coffee machine. Why? Thats annoying takes up more counter space. 3. The grounds drip container does not have a spring loaded drip release (probably due to the way the carafe is placed under it). And you guessed it its annoying too, so you can cheat and get a cup earlier before its completed and it makes a mess as it constantly has a little drip when done and you have taken out the carafe and put the lid on. 4. The Beep! So we like to keep small appliances unplugged in out house unless we use them, well when you plug this thing in it bleeps one loud murderous beep that seems worst than my morning alarm. Maybe it seems worst because all of the other annoying features of this coffee maker.Also why beep at all its no necessary there is an LED light to show it has power which is probably also not necessary. 5. The carafes pour spout is not precise without the lid on and even with it on it can be leaky and messy. 6. Its larger than our old MR Coffee, which can brew 4 more cups than this. 7. The old MR Coffee has an delayed auto start setting, this does not an I knew that going it and thought it must be worth it for the amazing coffee it will be brewing. 8. The old MR Coffee also told you how long it has been on for and you can determine how aged the coffee is. Again I knew this going in but if $25 machine can doe this why not a $100. 9. The fancy shower head is supposed to be some much better with watering all of the grounds consistently and thoroughly. Upon comparing the grounds after they look no different. 10. It sounds like its peeing when flowing into the carafe and that is distracting for many reasons. Here the pros we found, 1. The grounds drip container with a handle and easy removal is a nice feature. (With out the spring loaded drip stopper it can make a little mess on the way to the trash.) 2. The Tank seems like it would be easier to clean. 3. It looks more pleasing, I guess. 4. It is a bit more quite. Overall I will never buy a mid range coffee maker again.

I will hopefully educate some of you into a good coffee maker, through my research and trials. I am just your average consumer looking for the best cup of coffee I can find, without having to go to a specialty store such as Starbucks. I usually don’t write to many reviews but this coffee maker tops them all. I have purchased and have used many coffee makers over time, but I think I found the one. I have used and owned various coffee makers. Here is the list of what I have personally used and tested. I use filtered water through a Pur Led 11 Cup Pitcher and a Capresso 560.04 Inifinity Conical Burr Grinder. With that out of the way, we are off to look at each coffee maker. Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741 Let’s start out with most expensive coffee maker I have purchased to date. While this is the most sturdy and well-built coffee make I have ever used, and will no doubt last the test of time, it lacked a few options I would like to see. Such as a pre soak feature to allow the fresh coffee grounds to bloom prior to finishing the brewing cycle. I found myself standing by the brewer, with the brew basket shut off, letting it fill with a cup or so of hot water then stirring the grounds to make sure they were all saturated. The shower arm has many holes, but water did not come out each hole consistently. Noticeably coming out just the end of the shower head. I would find myself moving around the basket way too much to get all the grounds wet. This will end up on Ebay. BUNN NHS Velocity Brew BUNN GRB Velocity Brew I loved these brewers! The rich full taste is hard to beat. The con’s on these two is I didn’t have the thermal carafe and the coffee started to lose its flavor quickly. I kept the GRB model for a backup coffee maker, just in case the Bonavita has any issues Keurig B60 Special Edition They got me on the convenience aspect, but the cost of the pods was killing stroke for me. Yes I did have the pods I could load with my own coffee, but they were too messy and time consuming. And I usually drink more than one cup. It was great for making hot chocolate for the kid, but in the end, it made its way to my closet. Cuisinart DCC-1200 Brew Central This coffee maker made excellent coffee minus the richness I was missing from the Bunn coffee makers. I sacrificed flavor and richness for a timered unit. But it did the job, if you’re looking to pre make your coffee the night before. But what I was looking for was overall taste. It is next to the Bunn And Keurig in the closet. I will most likely sell this one eBay as well. Now while this list is an expensive list. And cost doesn’t always equal a good cup. Coming from a farming family I have grown accustomed to the flavor of the Bunn coffee makers and let’s be honest they do make a delicious cup of coffee. The coffee makers are quick and stay within the time frame for the Specialty Coffee Association of America brewing times, but not the water temperature constancy during the brew cycle. Needless say I still love the cup of coffee these makers put out. The Bonavita makes a much better cup of coffee than the Bunn or Technivorm. And for the cost you can’t go wrong. Sure the price in between the costs of the two, but it’s a lot cheaper than the Technivorm. I wish I would have had a review to read that was just made by a plain consumer like myself. So hopefully this helps someone with their decisions. Good luck!

Muy buen producto.

Pros: Easy to clean carafe and basket Easy to fill with water and check fill lines Stainless carafe means that there is no warming plate to burn out over time Specialty Coffee Association approved Quick and consistent brew time (see above point) No bull$&!+ features or buttons. You fill the basket with grounds, fill the reservoir with water and push the On/Off switch to On. No delay timers, no brew strength buttons, no cleaning buttons, no clocks. Just On/Off. It turns off on it's own when it's done brewing. I love things that are this simple. I think it looks good and it has a small footprint on my counter Both pro and con: The carafe has a lid that needs to be unscrewed and completely removed in order to place the coffee basket for brewing. It's annoying to have to store a lid somewhere else and attach every time after brewing. The positive side of this (which in my opinion far outweighs the negative) is that the seal on this lid is perfect and the lever activated pour spout gives a perfect pour every time. Press to pour, release to stop. No nonsense. Cons: So much plastic I worry about it long term. The bottom of the coffee basket was discoloured after 2 uses. Discoloured spot hasn't grown or gotten whiter since but it is something I am monitoring. If I leave my coffee maker plugged in between brews at least a day apart I can't start the second brew without needing to unplug from the wall and leave it for at least 2 minutes. If I don't and I push the On/Off switch it makes a click noise and it turns itself off within 1 second. Maybe mine is defective. Maybe I didn't read the instruction manual and it's supposed to be unplugged all the time.

Got it out of the box, plugged it in, and it never worked. Brand new and KAPUT. We are very happy with the Mellita Look.

After a terrible experience with an overpriced Technivorm Moccamaster I decided to try out the newest in the Bonavita line. I read the reviews on older models of what people disliked mostly carafe dripping and grind holder resting on the carafe and seems Bonavita listed and fixed those in the connosisseur model. The unit is very well made and sturdy and it makes a fantastic smooth cup of coffee, the grind at the end is absolutely perfectly saturated no holes no blasting it all over. The carafe kept my coffee hot for over 3 hrs now I do put hot water in my carafe pre brew just to warm it up. The pre infusion works fantastic I have always done pour over but I find this has a smoother result perhaps caused the grind is all saturated at same time where in pour over it is not and there is overlap I'm no expert. If your looking for a high quality coffee maker that actually lives up to its reputation the bonavita connosisseur is your best bet and I've purchased ones $200 more.

Es una cafetera muy simple para bien: Le pones café de preferencia recién molido, le pones agua, colocas la jarra y presionas el botón. Si tienes tiempo de esperar un poquito más puedes usar el modo pre-infusión, sujetando presionado el botón tres segundos hasta que pite dos veces y luego presionando otra vez para iniciar la cocción, la diferencia en sabor es leve pero suficiente, el café es delicioso en ambos modos, el segundo le da un poco más intensidad. PROs: - El tanque trae medidas de peso de café en los aforos de las tazas, por si se te olvida o quieres preparar una cantidad distinta a la habitual. - La cocción es relativamente rápida, el agua no tarda mucho en bajar y cae con la temperatura correcta para hacer un café delicioso. - El portafiltro es extraíble por lo que es más fácil de limpiar. - La jarra mantiene el café calientito como por tres horas, suficiente para tomar café toda la mañana o la noche. Contras: - El hecho de que la cocción sea abierta quiere decir que durante la cocción la cafetera avienta un montón de vapor para arriba, lo que no es conveniente si lo querías poner en un muele de madera como es mi caso, estás avisado. - La jarra sostiene un resto a la hora que la vacías, inclusive si la enjuagas se queda con agua, quien haya diseñado la jarra no quería que se quedara sin agua nunca. - 8 tazas no es tanto, suficiente para hasta cuatro personas, si necesitas servir a más gente o tomar más de una vez tienes que preparar otra vez o bien mejor comprar la que sigue que es más grande.
