Behmor Brazen Plus 2.0 Coffee Maker

SCA certification means the machine meets the Specialty Coffee Association's rigorous standards for brewing time, temperature, and extraction. It ensures the brewer is capable of producing a cup of coffee that matches the quality you would expect from a professional cafe.

Water boils at lower temperatures at higher elevations, which can ruin coffee extraction. The Brazen Plus 2.0 allows you to input your altitude, and the machine automatically adjusts the brewing temperature to ensure the water hits the grounds at the precise heat required for optimal flavor.

Yes, you can set the brewing temperature anywhere between 190°F and 210°F. This is particularly useful if you prefer lighter roasts that benefit from higher temperatures or darker roasts that taste better at slightly lower heat.

The pre-soak function wets the coffee grounds before the main brewing cycle begins. This allows the coffee to 'bloom,' releasing trapped carbon dioxide and ensuring more even water saturation for a fuller, more balanced flavor profile.

No, this model does not feature an automatic shut-off. Because it uses a thermal carafe to maintain heat rather than a heating plate, the machine completes its brew cycle and then powers down the heating element, keeping your coffee hot without the risk of burning it.

The stainless steel thermal carafe holds 1.2 liters, which is equivalent to 40 ounces or approximately 8 standard 5-ounce cups of coffee.
