Enthusiast 8-Cup Drip Coffee Brewer with Glass Carafe

I've got a Bonavita drip coffee maker (glass carafe) that's we've been using daily for the past ... 11 years. Last year I dropped the glass carafe in the sink and broke it 😞 and we looked into getting a Moccamaster, but my husband didn't like it and thought it was flimsy haha. We bought a replacement carafe meant for pour over and have kept on trucking with the Bonavita.

I have the same, solid brewer. I have a Moccamaster at work and it's an upgrade over the enthusiast, but the Bonavita was a bargain, bought when Kohls stocked them a few years ago and it's been problem free.

I bought the Bonavita enthusiast and I’ve been very impressed. It’s my first coffee maker. started with French press 19 years ago in HS, switched to pour over about 5/6 years ago. Now I feel a little dumb waiting so long 🤣🤣🤣

I agree with the Bonavita recommendation. Currently have the Enthusiast and love it (the removable water tank makes life just a little easier). Had a smaller version for several years before it stopped working well.

For this use case, i’d keep it boring, honestly, and buy a good drip brewer instead of chasing espresso or app features. When i hit the same spend-too-much-outside phase, the thing that actually stuck was a machine I could prep the night before and clean half-awake. The [Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select](https://featherab.com/shopit?Technivorm+Moccamaster+KBGV+Select) is the long-term pick if you want simple, repairable, consistent coffee. The [Bonavita Enthusiast 8-Cup Coffee Brewer](https://featherab.com/shopit?Bonavita+Enthusiast+8-Cup+Coffee+Brewer) is the better value version if budget matters more. I’d spend the remaining money on fresh beans and a steady routine, because that matters more than smart features.
