Behmor Brazen Plus 3.0

Water boils at lower temperatures at higher elevations, which can lead to under-extracted coffee. This machine allows you to input your specific altitude, automatically adjusting the brewing temperature to ensure your water hits the ideal range for proper extraction regardless of where you live.

No, the Behmor Brazen Plus 3.0 is a dedicated drip brewer and does not include a grinder. You will need to use pre-ground coffee or a separate burr grinder to prepare your beans before brewing.

The programmable pre-soak feature wets the coffee grounds before the full brewing cycle begins, allowing the coffee to 'bloom.' This releases trapped carbon dioxide, which helps prevent sour or uneven flavors and results in a more balanced, flavorful cup.

No, the water reservoir is fixed and not removable. You will need to pour water directly into the top of the machine using a pitcher or the carafe.

You have the flexibility to use either the included permanent gold-tone filter or standard paper filters. Paper filters generally produce a cleaner, lighter-bodied cup, while the gold filter allows more oils to pass through for a fuller, richer texture.

Yes, the stainless steel thermal carafe is designed to retain heat without the need for a warming plate, which prevents the coffee from 'cooking' or developing a burnt taste over time. It is best to pre-heat the carafe with hot water before brewing to maximize heat retention.
