Bonavita Coffee Brewer

The pre-infusion mode pauses the brewing process to saturate the coffee grounds with water. This allows freshly roasted coffee to release trapped carbon dioxide, known as degassing, which leads to a more balanced and flavorful extraction.

No, this model uses a stainless steel-lined thermal carafe to retain heat rather than a heating element. This design prevents the coffee from 'cooking' on a hot plate, which can lead to a bitter or burnt taste over time.

This brewer is designed for standard #4 cone coffee filters. You can use any brand of #4 filters, such as Melitta, which are widely available.

Maintenance is straightforward because the filter basket, shower head, and carafe lid are all dishwasher safe. The exterior can be wiped down with a damp cloth, and the machine includes a descaler to help manage mineral buildup.

A full 5-cup batch typically takes about 6 minutes to brew. This timing is optimized to ensure the water stays within the ideal temperature range of 195º to 205ºF for proper extraction.

The BV1500TS is designed for simplicity and does not feature adjustable temperature or strength settings. It is calibrated to meet the Golden Cup Standard, ensuring consistent, high-quality coffee with one-touch operation.
