Bonavita BV1800 8-cup Coffee Maker review

Give your guests a heart-warming welcome by treating them to rich, delicious and flavorful cups of coffee made by the Bonavita BV1800 8-cup Coffee Maker. You can expect to enjoy cup after cup of steaming hot beverages all made in a matter of minutes.

Features

The Bonavita BV1800 8-Cup Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe features a 1400-watt heater to boil your water to the ideal temperature. The contact time of water and coffee grounds is precise and its shower head drip is made to achieve optimal extraction and saturation.
It brews up to 8 cups of coffee and keeps them from getting cold for 2 hours with the Keep Warm feature. After 2 hours, the coffee maker automatically shuts off.

This brewer uses a #4 cone coffee filter which is included with your purchase. It also comes with a carafe so guests can serve themselves. The design is finished with stainless steel for appearance and longevity.

Pros

Considering the large amount of coffee the Bonavita BV1800 8-cup Coffee Maker makes, the brewing time is quite short. The 1400-watt heater is powerful and boils water very quickly. The rest of the process takes no more than 6 minutes. This is ideal if you don’t have time to wait in the morning. If you grab a cup to go and forget to switch the machine off, it shuts down automatically after 15 minutes to avoid fires.

A brewer that makes 8 cups of coffee at one time is beneficial if you have a coffee-loving family, when you are hosting guests, for staff rooms or in waiting rooms.

The fact that it makes coffee quickly is great, but what the coffee tastes like is more important. Fortunately, the Bonavita BV1800 8-cup Coffee Maker does not disappoint. Grounds are well-saturated thanks to cone filters and shower head. The result is strong coffee with bold flavors. The water heater makes sure it’s steaming hot and the Keep Warm feature ensures it stays that way.

Coffee usually cools a bit when it is inside the carafe but this is not the case with this coffee maker. The carafe is designed to maintain the temperature of beverages for a long time. This means you can drink your coffee immediately or at a later time.

This brewer is a very neat appliance. The carafe doesn’t drip when you pour, the water tank is precisely marked and the stainless steel finish only needs a few wipes to clean.

Cons

This maker is known to give out a little too much steam. You can remedy this by placing it away from cabinets. Another shortcoming is the price. It is much more expensive than other makers but for the quality of coffee it delivers, as well as time-saving features, it is not much of a surprise why it costs so much.

Should you buy it?

Truthfully speaking, the Bonavita BV1800 8-cup Coffee Maker is one of the best products available today. You might experience slight hesitation when you think about the price, but once you taste your first cup of coffee, you’ll be glad you bought it.
