Breville Precision Brewer Thermal Coffee Maker with PID Temperature Control

BAMell: Absolutely love it. This is the “Mercedes” of coffee makers. Brews quick, timer is awesome and keeps coffee hot for hours without the burner.

Kathy B: Omg, where do I begin? This machine provides the best tasting coffee ever! The only question I have, is why did I take so long to purchase. I am so happy with this coffee maker…love, love, love it!!

Michael Dechiara: While the promotional information leads one to assume you can customize settings for hot temperature, the highest setting does not result in sufficiently hot coffee for those who like it HOT. Right out of the drip it is decently hot, although not very hot like I was expecting or hoping for. Once it sits in the carafe, even when the carafe is shut, the next cup is okay, less hot. I got this specifically to have HOT coffee - it didn't work out and I returned it.

gcsdls: I considered writing a very long and involved review, but I'm going to make it short.

This brewer is not for everybody. Many folks just want to put the coffee and water in, and hit the button. Of course, you can do that with this brewer, but you would not be getting the best output from it if you do. And there are cheaper ways to have a quick and easy cup of coffee. But if you like to be able to dial in a lot of parameters and pursue that perfect cup, and yet you also want convenience, then this is a good option.

There are a couple of drawbacks, from a convenience perspective, of the thermal carafe model. This carafe has a LOT of thermal mass, which is good if you get that mass heated up before brewing. But it will suck the heat right out of the coffee if you brew straight into the carafe without warming it first. That kind of goes against the feature of programming to auto-start a pot. Unless you don't mind microwaving your cup after pouring.

The second drawback may be for any model, but since I haven't had opportunity to see the glass carafe version, I can't speak to it. But the lid of the thermal carafe is a complicated affair, with a spring-loaded top, and...

Jermaine Hiser: We recently purchased this coffee maker as an upgrade from our Bonavita BV1900TS. The reason for our upgrade was two fold. We are both coffee snobs and wanted to get back to a SCAA certified machine (we had one before that broke). The quality/flavor most SCAA certified units produce really is noticeable if you care about that type of quality and control. We also wanted a machine with more versatility and the ability to control the brew temperature since we are in a higher elevation (Utah). Here is our review for our first week with the unit.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The first thing we noticed when this unit arrived was how large in size it was, not a problem for us, but could be for people with limited counter space. This unit sits at about 16" tall and 12" wide. Unboxing was simple with easy to review instructions on how to setup the unit, everything was very straight forward. Love that it comes with a reusable basket filter! The first time you use the unit, it will ask you to fill the reservoir with water, test the water hardness, input this into the machine, and run a cycle through the unit.

NOISE
We were VERY surprised at how loud this unit it while it brews,...
