What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
It's fast! It's easy to prep. Wiping the machine down is easy. It's pricey but we'll worth it.
This is an expensive coffee maker; but it's worth every penny. The thing is bulletproof. It would outlast several generations of other coffee makers that have been built with planed obsolescence in mind.
Water spray is off to one side and allows for channeling in the grounds. Bona vita is a bona fide brand.
Cons
The thermal carafe is all but useless. It loses its vacuum after a month or two of use and the coffee gets cold extremely quickly.
Highlights
Quality
I purchased this coffee maker due to the manual control i could execute in making my coffee and am very happy with the results
The result is not just a quality product but a really really great cup of joe
The machine looks okay on my counter but it feels cheaply made with the light plastic parts
Besides the few low quality plastics the overall machine brews like a boss
Price
I would have given it 5 stars but the price is tad steep but if its in your budget it makes fantastic coffee
Packaging/appearance
The coffee in the carafe stays very hot for a few hours but a pot made in the morning would only be warm not hot by afternoon
It takes about 6 min for a full pot compared to the bunn which is 34 min so maybe the moccamaster extracts more flavor due to taking longer
Other reviewers comment on the relatively large footprint of the kbt
Competitiveness
Paired this with a wemo switch and i have a awesome drip coffee maker that i can set up on a timer
I owned a commercial pourover bunn and home bunn for over 10 years
