bonavita 5-cup thermal (bv1500ts)
sca-certified five-cup brewing in a compact package
the bonavita BV1500TS is an SCA certified home brewer that hits the golden cup standard without taking up much counter space. its 1100-watt heater holds water between 198°F and 205°F, and an optional pre-infusion mode lets freshly roasted coffee degas before the full brew cycle begins. a showerhead disperses water evenly over the grounds, and the double-walled stainless steel thermal carafe keeps coffee hot without a warming plate. it brews five cups in about six minutes, and BPA-free parts are dishwasher safe.
