Well, I have had the Brevelle Precision Brewer for four week and I just want to tell you that by far, it is making the best coffee I have ever had at home. I roast my own coffee and we take our coffee passion very seriously. So far I have used the one cup, gold, and my brew options. We had a large family gathering this past weekend and the gold got the most votes as number one, with my brew coming in a close second. Well worth the investment.
Bruce Aguilar do you find it makes a terrible sound when it brews? I just bought one and the machine made this horrible electronic/mechanic sound while running 😫
Just got this brewer, love it so far. First time I brewed it came out a bit weak, but I was brewing a single cup into the the carafe. Once I figured out that it will auto sense a mug and adjust, the single cup came out perfectly
WE LOVE GAIL AND WANT MORE!!!!! WE MISS SEEING HER ON THE DAILY!!!!! YES...I"M SHOUTING ON PURPOSE....lol
Sunday mornings with Gail, PLEASE!!! :D
I don't even want a brewer like this but I just love your reviews! Almost made me wanted to buy one too.. :P
Cyrille Beenhackker I think that's the actual purpose of this "review".
I'm with you: Gail should just have her own show reviewing all things coffee.
I watch these videos less for the products and more for Gail
Hmm
You poor thing
I like how the background makes the water tank look like it’s filled with tea
You could do a video testing the V60 and do a traditional pour over manually at the same time and compare the two cups in taste side by side.
as a coffee snob, by biggest gripe is all the plastic and metal used in these machines. ceramic or glass IMO gives the cleanest taste. i would love and old school percolator all ceramic or glass. this machine looks super enticing though.
Just a heads up. I've purchased two of these units (in Canada) and both cannot brew a GOLD cup. When the brewing starts it totally skips the Bloom phase. I received the second unit as a replacement for the first and neither work. I think I'll be returning mine. It's also worth noting that the Precision Brewer has been REMOVED from the Specialty Coffee Association's list of certified home brewers. I've reached out to ask why but haven't heard back yet - based on my experience, I suspect performance failures like I'm experiencing. Very sad but time for a new brewer!
Breville is coming out with a lot of cool new stuff! Can you do a video demo of the v60 function?
yes please a followup with a reviiew of the pour over function. Love Gail's reviews, always interested, informative, concise, pleasantly voiced and best of all brings a genuine sense of humor and fun, to a topic can easily become too too pretentious and precious for its own good.
Best coffee maker...
I’ve order mine yesterday looking forward in dumping all my pod machine for this baby
Just got mine, love it. Looking forward to getting the attachment for my first pour over. Still learning this coffee stuff, so much interesting things I had no idea. Old man hobbies as they say lol
my brother in law bought this machine only couple of weeks ago, in australia, and says he goes for a cup a bit later and it is cold, not staying warm ,,,,what is going wrong here
please
Try filling carafe with hot water before brewing coffee. Then empty out water . After carafe is filled with brewed coffee remove carafe from the coffee maker.
Looks really great! Love that flat, even bed after the brew. Would love to see it do a V60 or a Kalita... I feel like the physical pour overs (those anyway) are too small for that brew head but we'll see!
can you do a comparison of this verses the Technivorm with thermal craft. and include a brew review of the Gold cup brew of each machine?
Funny you should ask! Stay tuned...
If you can, please review the Zojirushi EC-DAC50. I've tried it in the past and thought it made a nice cup of coffee, but I don't have a Technovorm or Breville to compare it against...
I’ve had this machine since it came out and LOVE it!!
It's really incredible! What brew settings have you tried out?
How do I determine the amount of water spilled for distillation?
just got mine. Thanks for the review Gail!
I have had this coffee maker for about a year and a half....the grounds are no longer wet on the outside and I have noticed that only the center of the grounds are wet and the coffee is weak. So I tried the "Strong" brewing and that did not help. I did use vinegar and water to clean the machine, but that didn't help either. I pulled out the gasket and cleaned it but nothing made it better. My grounds around the outside of the basket are dry.
I was just considering buying this brewer but I see way too many reviews about issues that happen after the first year. Some say it doesn’t brew hot anymore and others have said the coffee doesn’t get saturated. It’s a shame because I always thought breville to be a premium product.
Gail i have a question. Should the thermal carafe be removed from the base after brew is complete, in order to maintain temperature longer? I note that the plunger in the center of the top of the carafe remains pressed to allow coffee flow from the basket area into the carafe. I tend to think that would negatively effect the top seal of the thermal carafe. Since the base performs no heating function, leaving the carafe on the base serves no real function.
Hi remove carafe from base as the plunger allows coffee to cool off quicker.
I love this Lady for some reason.... Great reviews!
Gail, how would you compare this to the TechniVorm Moccamaster? Great review thanks. I am now on the fence as to which to choose. Please advise.
Kevin M I have had the mocha master for about 3 years now and I love it!!!
No video on how to descale the machine?
Great machine, great review! Would be great if you could review how it does cold brew and pour overs.
Regarding the paper filter size, same as the moccamaster grand?
I looked at the price and went, "Wow!" It is worth the price. If you have a giveaway, I'm in. How many years is it good for if you are brewing a pot every day or so?
Over ice and cold brew dont appear on my menu, is it because I have more then x amount of water in the tank but in this demo your one is nearly full?
Gail’s in love 😍
Hi Gail, thanks for informative and amazing videos and reviews! Could you please compare the Breville 'Precision Brewer' and the 'Grind Control', also for smaller (2-3) cups? Best from Germany!
I wants it!!! Can't wait for it to launch here in Australia ☺😊
Kitaara3 xoxox
Too complicated for me...just wondering if the thermos carafe is made of 18/8 or 18/10 stainless steel? 18/10 is fine, but with 18/8 there is a reaction between the coffee and the metal, and the coffee lands up tasting totally blah...
is there any option to buy separate just the thermal carafe? many thanks!
What is better between this, ninia cold and hot, and the moccamaster?
The Brazen does the pour over?
Mine seems to only bloom when brewing 4 cups or less. Normal?
Will it support other pour overs besides the Hario? I have a Beehouse and was wondering.
Jason Brooks I have three pour over adapters which all work flawlessly with the unit. Here’s a demo of the Hario: ua-cam.com/video/zpFvMac_lVo/v-deo.html
Nice brewer--Love Breville! I am a proud Technivorm owner. Can you do a comparison of the two?
How do I determine the amount of water spilled for distillation?
Does the GOLD setting do the Blooming part also ?
SCA guidelines for temp are 195-205. But for a lot of people that manually brew (V60, Chemex, French Press, etc) often prefer to go up to even as hot as straight off boiling where the water is near 212 F. Are there any machines that allow you to go that high? Curious if the option to go that high would disqualify for SCA approval. But I don't think I could switch to a machine that didn't let me brew anywhere from 180-210 F.
I saw in the other video on this that the hot plate keeps the brewed pot at the selected brewing temp; or can you adjust the temp it keeps it at? I think I'd prefer to keep it at a lower, ready-to-drink temp personally.
It's also interesting that with single serve pour over that it holds the water back/doesn't let it drain. That's kind of the point of V60 to allow it to drain continually instead of just immersing it. All those pour over cones are designed so that they control their own drain rate (and the V60 lets you control it by changing the grind size). Holding it back means you have to grind coarser and it really changes the whole method for pour over.
There is not a hot plate for the carafe on my unit and I don’t believe it’s an option.
whats the best grinder to pair this with?
My Breville Precision Brewer worked great for a month then when it was set on "Gold" began heating for only 5-8 seconds, skipped the "blooming" cycle, and went straight to the "brew" cycle. I got a replacement machine and it did the same thing the first time it was used. Any suggestions would be welcome as to how to get it to heat longer and to bloom appropriately before brewing.
Hi Leland, this is exactly how the brewer is supposed to work in Gold mode. SCA doesn't allow for blooming in their certification program. If you want to control/adjust blooming, you need to use the MyBrew mode, where you can control all the variables. I hope this helps.
What is the minimum amount of coffee this would brew ?
I would love one of these if it had an in-built grinder
Would definitely need to have a bigger footprint, but one can dream!
I'm right there with you Jasongvl. I am in the market right now of looking at what my options are to get rid of my Cuisinart Grind and Brew and step up in quality of my automatic drip coffee maker...but I just can't find any that are SCAA certified with a built-in grinder. I don't think this exists yet, which is a shame because I do like the convenience of programming my Grind and Brew the night before and pair that with the quality that comes from fresh ground beans. Do you know of any that I might be missing?
I currently have the "Andrew James Filter Coffee Machine with Timer and Integrated Grinder" but mine has had minor issues with it. But works fine now. I would just like a Breville (or in the UK "Sage") model as I love their machines- I have a grand espresso machine of theirs.
I know what you mean with the convenience thing :)
That's a lot of features for one machine! What is the price point for this beast?
300
Ordered last week, should arrive in 2 days. Eager to brew...
Max Murray do you enjoy this coffee maker?
Max Murray do you enjoy this coffee maker?
Really nice machine, like every other Breville appliance in my kitchen.
You can really dial in your brew, and repeat it. Isn't that the goal?
Can you update as regards "cold" brew, will it be renamed ie, cool brew, or will the machines be recalibrated to deliver cold water instead of heating before being left to steep ?
I just want it to make coffee. Who needs the bells and whistles to program it or a hot plate that scorches the coffee. I'll stick with my Bonavita.
Have had this machine for about a month. It seems like the coffee is not hot enough. Anyone else?
Wanna see the pour over please!
I want to see it too!
Sam Chen I'm very curious about it since they introduced the brewer. It's interesting cause a manual method of brewing is being automated and i wanna see what it is compared to manual pour overs.
I'm going to drop into the Bellevue SCG this weekend and ask. They were playing with it last week so if it's still out I'll try it and report back in person. I imagine it's more about flow control than anything, I can't imagine there's anything fancy about how they do the water. Hopefully we'll see! Will report back if I get to see it.
Sam Chen oh wow it's good that there's an SCG there near you. Haha! It'll be good to know thanks for that!
Cool, so I went in to the store to test the pour over. Here's what we found. To do a pour over in the machine, they have a separate attachment that sits between the dripper portion and the brewhead. This attachment is not included with the brewer (booooo).
We tried it anyway with a V60 just sitting on top of the dripper. We did ~400ml to 30gm of coffee in a copper V60 with a paper filter. We did not measure the brew time. The output was ok. It wasn't great, it wasn't horrible.
When we looked at the grounds in the V60 it was pretty under-saturated. We thought this could be due to the additional distance that the attachment would have made up for by propping it up a couple of inches. It also could do with how the water came out. Unlike a Technivorm or Bonavita equivalent, water doesn't come up in bursts it's a fairly steady stream. It did do a bloom/preinfuse but after that water just continuously dripped. My biggest complaint is probably the fact that everything is automated so you don't program the amount of coffee that's in it and set a ratio you just brew until the water tank is empty.
I would guess that a kalita (usually more forgiving) could have produced better results. I will say this would be a reasonable choice if you wanted to make only 1 or 2 cups, I would probably use a V60 or Kalita instead of just asking the unit to brew a cup. But this won't completely replace the need for a gooseneck kettle to do a proper pour over.
Anyways, I'll probably be back in the shop this weekend to pick something up, so if you have more questions I can maybe get them answered.
Hi there! I have been loving your youtube videos for ages and have been studying espresso for ages. I have talked and worked with many baristas in my area but actually do not own a mashine. I am currently still in school and cannot really spend 500 or more on a mashine. I have saved up for a while and was looking at the gaggia classic. The problem, however is that I cant get the american version, I live in South Africa. I would like a mashine that offers traditional brewing and steaming methods (for example non-pressurised filter) and something that I can ask a local supplier to import.
So my options are:
Gaggia classic uk
Ascaso basic (i heard you can remove the panerello and use it as traditional)
Breville duo-temp pro
I love the features of the breville but have heard many quality complaints about it. What is your recomendation for a young coffee geek in need of a quality budget mashine?
It's like all the ideas of the Ninja Coffee Bar without the terrible weak coffee.
They say shower head is not good enough on this
But it doesn't grind your beans
Celtic Bear buy their “grind control” brewer if you want a built in grinder. I have both and this one is a definite step up in the finished product quality department. Worth the investment in counter real estate and a grinder
GAIL!!!!
I've been waiting for this review for a while. Not much of a review as you only tested one feature. As far as I can tell this is not scaa certified or at least it's not listed on their website as a certified brewer, I checked. Here in Canada it's $350+tax and only 2 years warranty. Go 🎏
I bought this machine 2 days ago in Canada, at Bed Bath and Beyond. $70 manu rebate and 20% store discount. With tax it cost me $250.87 Canadian dollars. I have a Sylvia Rancillio, and a Baratza grinder. I am all set to go for expresso for morning, and mug or company coffee later in the day.
BCFran3 good for you
Had mine about a month and worth every dollar. Thinking about getting one for the office. Ya so you don’t use all the features everyday.. but on those days you don’t have to go in to work, you can play around with other features and have a ball.
Is SCAA certified.
True coffee heads will not have an "auto" set because of roast>>grind>>brew flavor. I know of at least one other "drip" machine that will do the v60 method - the Behmor Connected or Behmor Brazen. It will also allow for a Chemex and a French Press to fit under the shower head.
Omg honey, stop grinding those dang beans too fine. :-/
Just like the ninja just about 200$ more
That's not really accurate. I own this Breville, but not the Ninja. Definitely similar, but the comparable Ninja is around $229 while this is $299, so it's certainly not $200 more. I'm extremely happy with this unit because I like the complete customization available. The Ninja seems to be a very nice machine as well, especially if you want to do tea (which this unit does not). However, I like the pour over feature, which the Ninja does not have. I already own Breville's automatic tea maker, so I didn't need that functionality. However, if I had to do it over again I might just opt for the Ninja because it is more of an all-in-one machine, just not as customizable. To each their own. 😊
I find it hard to believe Seattle Coffee Gear truly likes such a gimmicky coffee maker! What are you going to review next... the Ninja Coffee Bar???? Haha
They sell coffee equipment of all brands and price points. They carry quite a few Breville products too. I doubt they'd ever sell anything called, "Ninja".
briguyo22o Breville, designed by the Aussies and made in China has come a long way in the last couple years in the quality department. I am a coffee geek, have one of these (and a couple other breville products) and use it everyday. I really like waking up to have my pour over with this appliance. Don’t hate, buy it and be happy! Peace
