Bonavita 8-Cup One-Touch Coffee Maker BV1900TS - Perfectly Brewed Coffee Every Time

K. J. Thompson: I purchased a Bonavita coffee maker about 2 years ago after we stayed with our son and used his. It makes great coffee, is easy to use, and brews rapidly. Even pre-ground coffee tastes fresh! Because it has an insulated carafe, the coffee doesn't cook after brewing but stays fresh. The carafe is not hard to clean because the mouth is wide enough to insert a dishcloth. To rinse, just shake water in it to reach under the rim. I've seen complaints about not being able to use the carafe to pour water into the pot. Why must one use the carafe? This is the best coffee maker we've had and we have gone through several over the years.

Will: 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...

B. Daymond: Machine smart and looked great in kitchen. Very easy to use then taste...most disappointing despite using correct grinder. Impossible to empty flask, liquid ie coffee gets stuck under rim. Probably rinsed 6 times and then to return had finish with numerous kitchen towels. The rim also oozed coffee down outside. Returned after one four cup use....I should add did not retain heat over 3hrs period.

The Dawg: Bottom Line Up Front:

Buy IF: You should buy this if around $150 bucks is the most you are willing to pay for a coffee maker. You want a solid brewer that meets or comes very close to the specialty coffee association standards. You are ok with a few sacrifices (timer, capacity, carafe and the basket design).

Do Not Buy IF: You need more than 40oz of coffee capacity, want a timer, would like a little more convenience.

I purchased this as a gift for a family member. I ultimately purchased for myself the Breville Precision Brewer and would recommend it over this product even at twice the price. For me, the 2 best drip-style brewers are the Technivorm Mocha Master (recommended if you want simple on/off function and 40oz capacity) or the Breville Precision Brewer (want an autostart timer, different or customizable brew settings, and a larger 60oz capacity). Both of these models have clear advantages over the Bonavita BV1900TS, but those advantages come at nearly double the price. I personally think the difference in price is worth spending on a product that you will use daily (I make 1-2 pots a day). Again, I realize that may be a luxury to many...

Robin McDonald: I liked this unit so much I bought a second unit for our vacation condo. Thermal carafe units are usually expensive and this is no exception. It was a replacement for a Krug Costco unit which I cannot find anywhere now and a Cuisinart unit which was cheaper but very cheaply built. I liked its ease of use (really only an on/off switch, no complicated electronics), its sturdy construction, its attractive design, the very hot water and efficient heater, the speed that it makes coffee, and the clear container for water which makes it easy to control the quantity made. Contrary to some reviews, I found it easy to pour and empty. The design of the carafe top and the way it screws into the base (the pourer is in the top, not in the base( makes for a tight seal and thus the coffee stay hot and fresh for hours. I like this unit and am surprised that I have never seen it in a bricks and mortar store. Our units are two years old now and going strong. Worth every penny,

Noé Alejandro: Excelente cafetera. Llevo más de seis meses con ella y no he tenido problema alguno. Cumple con todas las características señaladas. Hay cafeteras con mayores funcionalidades y hasta más económicas, pero la calidad de los materiales de ésta y la marca que es de las mejores en su ramo, me convencieron para adquirirla.

E. Connell: 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...
