Bonavita Enthusiast Coffee Maker - Thermal Carafe

Quality Extractions

Bonavita stands out as one of the few manufacturers that meticulously design its showerhead to precisely match the width of the brew bed. While this might seem like a fundamental requirement, ensuring even saturation and preventing uneven extraction, many manufacturers surprisingly overlook this crucial aspect. In contrast, Bonavita's shower head ensures uniform saturation across the entire coffee bed. Other distinguishing features include its use of a pump, as opposed to traditional thermo-siphon technology, maintaining a consistent flow rate and brew temperature throughout the brewing cycle. It also offers an optional 1-minute pre-infusion cycle to bloom coffee grounds and a 1500-watt heating element capable of driving water temperature into the optimal range of 195-205°F (depending on the ambient water temperature). This achievement has earned the Enthusiast Coffee Maker the prestigious SCA's Gold Cup certification, an accolade that guarantees the highest quality cup of coffee possible.
