Wilfa - Precision (WSP-1A/WSP-1B)

Just as a data point, I don't like my Breville Precision Brewer at all. Huge disappointment, and far too many shortcomings for the price point imo. It replaced my Wilfa Tim Wendelboe brewer (1st gen) – I would have bought that again had it still been available in the U.S.

Fellow Aidan - multiple ways to tweak a brew to get the best tasting result for each roast. The Wilfa ones are also good (I have the precision that I’m happy with) but I would definitely go for the Aidan for the flexibility and the really fine tuning

I have the precision model which I loved using until I got into espresso and now hardly drink pour-over anymore. Wilfa are built well and designed with Tim Wendelboe so they have great pedigree. I’m sure you’ll be super happy with it !

I’m enjoying my Wilfa Svart Precision. It feels wasteful to use a big filter to make a single cup sometimes, but works like a charm. If brewing under 16 oz you can also close the diopter and brew full immersion like a clever or switch.

Wilfa precision has a removable water tank but will use all the water on each brew. Feels wasteful to use a filter for one cup, but I do it all the time. The basket has a flow control valve (iris?) to change the flow rate for different brews. The coffee basket will comfortably hold 1-2 cups of water, so you can also do immersion brews like a switch.

[James has been over this.](https://youtu.be/t8eYs2vxT-8?si=yZ06NSKRDuxWL0ku) I used a Melitta Aromaboy when it was just me, then I found a dead Wilfa Precision for £20. Looks great, makes great coffee, but outrageously expensive for what it is when bought new. A Moccamaster is probably your best bet for longevity.

I switched from pour over to this machine a few months ago and am extremely happy with it. The coffee is excellent and I wouldn’t switch back. Consistency is great with this machine, also makes a really good cup. Ease of use is great too. It’s nice having a free pair of hands to do other things while it’s brewing. Notably though, I don’t use the heating element. We drink what we make and don’t leave any behind to “stay warm” Edit- didn’t see this had an insulated carafe, mine is glass.here is my setup, with our fav coffee. https://preview.redd.it/tea3s1qvx1qe1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d207767dd2bbddfbf4b8fcc57b6a5756cfc75d6
