Bonavita - Connoisseur 8-Cup Drip Coffee Brewer One-Touch with Thermal Carafe and Hanging Basket - SCA Certified Home Brewer

For those Coffee Lovers who can’t live without drip coffee, this is your ticket to the most elegant coffee a machine can make. The key to this brewing method is letting your coffee grounds bloom (also known as de-gassing). This coffee brewer pre-saturates your grounds, allowing the coffee to bloom just like a hand-made pour over coffee maker should. With the touch of a button, this coffee machine does it all—pre-infuses the grounds, regulates brewing temperature, and automatically turns itself off.

Certified by the Specialty Coffee Association, this coffee machine is made for the coffee connoisseur. The pre-bloom function releases carbon dioxide from the grounds for the most delicious coffee brewing results, and coffee is brewed at the optimal temperature with the push of one button. The stainless steel carafe keeps eight (8) cups of coffee brew warm.

SCA Certified:

Bonavita meets the stringent standards of the SCA, which recognizes home coffee brewers that meet their rigorous technical requirements. These requirements - which include proper temperature - are based on decades of industry expertise by the Coffee Brewing Center.

Bonavita is universally recognized as an exemplary home brewer and as SCA Certified Brewers who meet the qualifications for the SCA Golden Cup. Being the industry standard, Bonavita coffee brewers are used by judges in World Coffee Competitions.

What does it mean to be SCA certified?

SCA stands for Specialty Coffee Association. This certification is granted only on a few specialty coffee makers that meet their rigorous technical requirements based on proper water temperature, brewing time, and ability to brew within the SCA Golden Cup recommendations.

Descaling:

We recommend descaling the brewer at least once every 100 uses. If you have hard water, descaling more often is recommended. We recommend using a good quality biodegradable and phosphate-free coffee machine descaler. (Please note: Descaler should not be confused with Cleaner. They serve different purposes.) Descaler is designed to break down mineral buildup inside your brewer to ensure great coffee and consistent functionality. Follow the descaler manufacturer instructions for use. (We do not recommend using vinegar to clean or descale your brewer. Vinegar may not effectively descale your brewer, and can be difficult to rinse thoroughly. Vinegar may also leave behind an odor that can impact the flavor of your coffee.)

If your brewer is steaming more than usual, it is time to descale.
