Bonavita - Metropolitan 8-Cup

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

I am 5 years in on a BV One Touch and it's still making solid coffee with the pre-infusion mode. I would buy it again today.

Bonavita is my personal favorite drip coffee maker. Italian machine that comes with a thermal carafe, coffee pot so that it can keep your coffee warm without a heater. Not sure what the technology is like now but mine has a couple of drip style options when it comes to how the water falls onto your coffee grinds. Can find them for less than 200 for a 8 cup coffee pot, or less than 100 for a 5 cup coffee pot.

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

Bonavita w/ thermal carafe

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’m currently using the Moccamaster + Baratza Virtuoso, but used the much cheaper, but comparably excellent Bonavita 8 cup coffee maker for 10+ years with zero maintenance.  If I wasnt a fool and instead descaled it every 100 or so uses, it would still be going strong.  It was a superb option but I see it has climbed up in price now. Just get the moccamaster on sale. 

Bonavita 8 cup drip is what I settled on. It has an on button.

The Bonavita 8 cup which is SCA certified.

Also have a Bonavita, going on 4 years and still working

Second the Baratza Encore grinder. We have that and use a Bonavita 8 Cup Drip Coffee Maker Machineto make our coffee. Both are several years old and we have had 0 issues, and they make excellent coffee.

I have a Bonavita 8 cup and it's great. I was wanting to move away from espresso and I really enjoy my Clever Coffee Dripper but wanted to make a larger volume. My intention was to buy the Moccamaster but I didn't want to invest that much of the rest of the family didn't like drip so I opted for the Bonavita. I thought I'd everyone likes it I'll invest in the Moccamaster but the results are so great I can't justify the change.
