5-Cup Compact

I had the Bonavita 5cup drip coffee maker with one-touch pour over function that lasted 4+ years (and still going strong, I’m giving it away to a friend) before I upgraded to the moccamaster. The Bonavita is more approachable price-wise than the moccamaster too if you aren’t looking to splurge on something.

I love my sboly single cup brewer and my bonavita 5-cup.

I bought a Bonavita 5-cup coffee maker in 2020. They offered a double glass carafe you could buy online as an add-on carafe to the stainless steel one that comes with the coffee maker. I’ve been using it ever since. It makes a good cup of coffee. I tried the OXO one, but returned it- the Bonavita coffee maker made better tasting coffee. You just press one button and it brews at the correct SCA temperature. It has a “blooming” option which pours the water over in intervals as well. So, I’m happy with the setup.

Bonavita. One button drip coffee, generally very good quality. 

Bonavita w/ thermal carafe

I had a Bonavita, traded up to a Moccamaster, and a few months later, went back to the Bonavita. Don't believe the hype.

I have one of these and it's still going strong after a decade of use. The thermal carafe is nice. Keeps coffee hot for a long time and doesn't burn it because there's no heating element. It has one button on it, so operation couldn't be easier.

I think at the end of the day results rule. This is my 3rd SCA rated brewer. OXO, Bonavita, and my KBGV and neither of the others are even close to cup quality. The Bonavita was solid but the Moccamaster still makes a more consistent cup. The only feature that matters to me is great coffee.
