We found that we prefer a bit less than the 10g/5oz recommended by Bonavita
-
Coffee tastes great; not the least bit bitter
-
A bit noisy while brewing but the brewing process is quick and it then shuts itself off automatically so it does not continue to heat the made coffee.
-
I wish the carafe was a bit easier to clean but other than that no complaints.
-
It is true that you have to use a paper towel or shake it a bit to get all of the water to come out after you clean it.
-
Sadly, though, when I pour coffee from the carafe a bit of coffee spills, and, as others have complained, it's almost impossible to get all the coffee out of the carafe without shaking it upside down
-
My only complaint is that it can be a bit difficult to pour water into the reservoir using the carafe without the lid (and who wants to put the lid on just to pour out water).
-
I even have to let it cool down a bit
-
I solved both problems with a cheap water pitcher with a mark to remind me how much water I can add, but still you have to let it brew a bit and then top off the water or it will leak through the plastic seals and spill onto the counter
-
every morning.)I was a bit hesitant with this brewer, and really every Bonavita brewer on the market
-
But my morning routine says a bit longer would be nice.
-
Also, the exposed brewing basket operates bit louder than I’m accustomed to.
-
The carafe keeps coffee warm for quite a while, but it is difficult (read: friggin' impossible) to drain the last bit of coffee out of the carafe
-
Also like others who have reviewed, I'm a bit of a coffee snob and border line coffee geek that enjoys watching coffee completions and is hopeful to attend one as a viewer someday
-
I should slow down my life a bit anyway.
-
Only con is the pouring top is a bit on the slow side when pouring a cup of coffee from the carafe
-
It is near-pourover quality with a fraction of the effort, though that isn't to say this machine doesn't require a bit of work to break in
-
I've found that I grind a bit less than I did with my Hamilton Beach to get the best flavor.
-
However, the comments about the stainless carafe are true, does not keep hot and is a bit messy to use.
-
The replacement carafes are a bit hard to find and expensive but if I can get my husband to stop breaking them, it won't be a problem.
-
Just a little bit of that deep smooth sweet burnt wood taste (sorry, that's how I describe it).I can't wait to go to
-
If you've used the most commonly purchased brands of coffee pots your entire life thus far, like me, then using this coffee brewer might confound you a little bit at first.
-
Not being able to pull the carafe out, without the filter basket coming with it was a bit backward to me at
-
Coffee tastes great; not the least bit bitter
-
pouring water from the carafe into the bonavita is a bit sloppy with the spout or it could be an operator issue.
-
Like some of the other reviewers stated, you can't get the last bit of coffee out
-
The advertised capacity of 40 ounces seems a bit optimistic ... my usual morning pot (filtered water up to the top fill line, 80 grams of ground coffee) results in two good 16 - 18 ounce travel mugs worth of coffee
-
After brewing, my first cup of coffee is not even as hot as I like
-
doesn't keep the coffee hot as I
-
Thanks for the information, as I really like my coffee hot!

n’t write to many reviews but this coffee maker tops them all.
