Metropolitan 8-Cup Brewer

honestly i feel you, the coffee maker market is overwhelming now. my last one died too and i just wanted something basic. the Bonavita Metropolitan is right at $100 and does one thing well - makes hot water evenly over grounds. no timers or screens to deal with. the showerhead design is solid and the carafe keeps coffee hot without a burner. i'd avoid Ninja or Cuisinart if you want simple, they pack in too many extras. [Bonavita Metropolitan](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=Bonavita+Metropolitan+drip+coffee+maker) is what i switched to and cleaning takes maybe 30 seconds.

been there with the option overload. for that budget the [Bonavita Metropolitan](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=Bonavita+Metropolitan) is probably your answer. its one button no programming no timers just hot water and good showerhead design. got one for my mom who hates complicated gadgets and shes been using it daily for two years now. easy to clean too since the carafe lid comes apart and the basket is simple. ninja and cuisinart add too many features you dont need. bonavita just focuses on the basics.

Same though I have the glass carafe. I know that people love the thermal version but I've read that the glass is easier to clean, and I drink my coffee fresh so I don't need the carafe to keep it warm.

I’m on my second Bonavita drip machine, and both have been glass carafe versions with the hot plate. I find it kind of annoying that the hot plate turns off as quickly as it does (feels like less than an hour) but it is nice that it doesn’t just stay on indefinitely. Eventually I do want to get a Moccamaster.

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 bought the Bonavita 8 cup brewer and I've had it for a few years, thing runs great and makes good coffee but a little pricey for a drip coffee machine.

I've had 2 Bona Vita 8 cups. Both eventually stopped finishing their brew cycle mid-way, so I bit the bullet and bought a Moccamaster which will last for life.

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.

Bonavita 8-Cup. Makes genuinely good coffee, one button, thermal carafe. Been my daily driver for 2 years
