Behmor Brazen Plus 3.0

Water boils at lower temperatures at higher elevations, which can lead to under-extracted, sour coffee. The Brazen Plus 3.0 allows you to calibrate the machine to your specific altitude, ensuring the water reaches the precise temperature needed for optimal extraction regardless of where you live.

You have the flexibility to use either. While the machine comes with a permanent gold-tone filter, it is fully compatible with standard paper filters if you prefer a cleaner cup with less sediment.

The pre-soak setting mimics the 'bloom' phase used by professional baristas. By wetting the grounds and letting them degas for a short period before the full brew cycle begins, you release trapped carbon dioxide, which allows for more even water contact and a more balanced, flavorful extraction.

Yes. Unlike machines with a hot plate that can scorch coffee over time, the Brazen Plus 3.0 uses a double-walled stainless steel thermal carafe. It relies on insulation to retain heat, keeping your coffee at the ideal serving temperature without continuing to heat or burn the liquid.

You have full control. You can manually adjust the brewing temperature anywhere between 190°F and 210°F. This allows you to experiment with different roast profiles—using lower temperatures for darker roasts to avoid bitterness, or higher temperatures for lighter roasts to maximize extraction.

This machine has a maximum capacity of 1.2 liters, which translates to approximately 40 ounces or 8 standard cups of coffee. It is well-suited for households that need a full pot in the morning.
