    Bonavita 8-Cup One-Touch Coffee Maker Featuring Hanging Filter Basket and Thermal Carafe, BV1901PS

    • Best part: no heating plate, which kills the flavor of coffee, and one of the best tasting cups you can brew.
    • My carafe quickly loses heat
    • (Add more coffee grounds accordingly if you do that, obviously.)Some differences to what you may be used to (if you've bought $35 coffee pots up to this point, like me):The main difference is that there is no heating/warming plate on the bottom (this is ultimately a good thing for coffee, I've come to learn).
    • The coffee is drinkable for about an hour, loses heat way to fast
    • Thin stainless, poor heat retention, and difficult to pour final cup.
    • First, It doesn't hold its heat well
    • The carafe doesn't keep coffee warm very long at all, even when pre-heated
    • Both brew great coffee with precise heating and both are certified by the Specialty Coffee Association of America
    • Has produced perfect, well-heated coffee every time so far.
    • To address the carafe heat retaining deficiency I drilled 4 small holes (two in the bottom and 2 on the sides) and pumped the inner spaces with low expansion foam and plugged the holes the following day.
    • If you don't stand and wait for the brew cycle to finish to immediately remove the brew basket and then place the screw the top on the pot the coffee will lose heat starting immediately
    • I timed the coffee in the pot and after 10 minutes had lost considerable heat.
    • Thin stainless, poor heat retention, and difficult to pour final cup.
    • but while all my others will keep beverages hot for a minimum of 8 hours the Bonavita starts loosing heat after 4 hours.
    • However, every time its poured it loses heat, which all thermoses do, so don't be cross if the coffee goes cold
    • It loses heat so quickly, do not expect to leave your coffee sitting for hours
    • The thermal carafe keeps it HOT, with not more gross heating plate.
    • I will never buy another drip maker with a heating plate to burn the coffee.
    • So if you're brewing coffee and you're not there as it's done brewing, your coffee now starts to lose heat.
    • Perfectly heated, never burnt
    • Water it emits is very hot, and heats quickly
    • The right water temperature doesn't mean a thing if the heat gets lost in the air while brewing.2)
    • The carafe keeps the coffee hot for 2-3 hours if pre-heated.
    • now it works just as great as when it was new.
    • I read some reviews which said that the coffee doesn't come out hot enough/ stay warm in the carafe, but I've brewed a pot of coffee, poured about half of it into cups, and came back an hour later to refill them, and the coffee in the carafe was still just as hot as when it was brewed.
    • I've used other percolators, including nice expensive ones, but never found the coffee to be as good as from a Keurig or Aeropress
    • In addition, the coffee does not takes a good as from my 8 year old Cuisinart coffee maker
    • Thus, the coffee didn’t taste as good as it could.
    • This replaced a $300 dollar European coffemaker and is just as good as for less than half the price.
    • The carafe does a good job of keeping the coffee warm but not as hot as when it comes out of the machine.
    • The coffee doesn't seem to stay as hot as in our old one.
    • Not as great as it was rated
    • I would say if you're going to invest the money, pick up a grinder as well as it has made all the difference.
    • If coffee temperature is a concern, then I think there are coffee brewers out there with carafes that offer much better insulation, such as the Zojirushi EC-YSC100, available for the same amount of money
    • Most of the aroma should be going in the carafe so that your finished product tastes as good as it can.
    • For the short time my coffee sits in the carafe it stays nearly as hot as when I made it
    • I have owned you most in-expensive models and spent more based on widely regarded reviewer sources as well as from consumer reviews found on sites such as this one and found this little gem to give the biggest bang for the buck
    • Everything works as it should, and I am uber excited to have a pre-infusion mode to allow the coffee to bloom
    • After 4 months it doesn’t keep the coffee as warm after 20 minutes(so not as hot as when it was first bought).
    • n’t write to many reviews but this coffee maker tops them all.
