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 got the bonavita for like 120$ for a sale it’s a really solid machine produces very consistent cups of coffee allows me to dial in ratio beans etc. very easily and is perfect for single servings
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.
Hey, I have this same coffee maker. It sucks. I'm using it as a placeholder until I can decide on a decent automatic / forever option.
My Bonavita lasted 6 years before petering out and dying. Great coffee consistently. Now I'm trying to decide between a moccamaster and a decent breville, possibly the Braun multi serve or Oxo 12 cup.
I have a bonavita coffee maker.
It does exactly one thing: heat water to like 194 degrees F so it percolates up and out of the heater into grounds.
Brews directly into my 20 oz yeti cup. I’m also the only coffee drinker in the house. It came with a carafe but that’s just extra work.
To make the coffee I fill up the cup with water, pour it into the coffee maker. Add grounds and filter to the basket and put it together. Then, after it’s all ready to go I turn it on. It makes coffee.
Actually it does a second thing: it has a feature where if you hold the power button it beeps and lets you know the second mode is active: it par-brews the coffee to let it bloom (or something like that) for better taste. I don’t use this feature.

Durable, repairable workhorse, but pricey with basic features.
