Updated -- Best of the bunch but high priced
After my Cuisinart DCC-1200 nearly caught on fire after brewing a pot of coffee, I searched Amazon for a coffee maker with the highest ratings. Bonavita appeared to be THE coffee maker to get. I thought that it was pricey, but I sprung the 169.95 to purchase the BV1800TH.
Pros
This maker brews hot coffee with temps between 195-205 degrees as published by the National Coffee Association.
Clear reservoir--easy to fill and see the 8cup mark
Cons
Zero features--I knew this going in that it would be a minimalist coffee maker
Thermos--it gets warm on the outside, which means that it only keeps the coffee warm for a couple of hours
Coffee doesn't taste any better than with my fire hazard Cuisinart
Conclusion -- I recommend that you find a lower priced coffee maker.
UPDATE
I requested an RMA the other day to return the coffee maker because of the thermos, but when I researched other coffee makers, I couldn't find a...
Makes a very good cup of coffiee.
I bought one last year for the house and just bought a second for our camper. Works quickly in about 6 minutes and makes a smooth cup of coffee. I tried a few types of coffee, but just use store bought Folgers breakfast blend at 3-4 scoops for a smooth cut of coffee. No added features. I fill with water the night before, get up and load with filter and coffee, and when I am done in the bathroom, so is my coffee.
We love it
The Bonavita BV1800TH is exactly what I was looking for. Makes excellent coffee quickly. We love it and recommend it highly.
