sca-certified grind and brew with single cup and carafe options
the café specialty grind and brew is SCA certified, meaning it meets the association's strict standards for brew temperature, timing, and extraction. at $329, it combines an adjustable burr grinder with the ability to brew single cups (6 to 24 oz) and carafes (4 to 10 cups) across four strength settings. real-world testing confirmed solid extraction numbers and good taste. the thermal carafe holds temperature above 150°F for over four hours. the tradeoff is a large physical footprint.
