| How Does it Compare? | The Bonavita 40 ounce capacity (8 - 5 ounce cups) coffee maker is definitely on par with the Technivorm 40 ounce capacity coffee maker (10 - 4 ounce cups), yet has a space saving design and costs less. |
| Tips and Tricks | A Note About Coffee & Cups: Although 8 ounces equals a cup in the baking world, a US cup of coffee is measured at 6 ounces and a European cup of coffee is measured at 4.25 ounces. This is why we sometimes list ounces to paint a more accurate picture of capacity. |

Great Coffee
Review by David -
Quality Price Value Bought the Bonavita to replace our french press and it's nice to have a great cup of coffee without the cleanup of the french press. My only regret is buying the glass carafe. A few minutes on the burner and the coffee is stale. In hindsight, would have bought the thermal carafe.

Great coffee fast
Review by mikeelikesit -
Quality Price Value Great coffee maker! Super fast, worth the money and with the money I saved by avoiding the local barristas, it paid for itself in a few weeks. When I do stop in for a cup they make me feel guilty like I'm going out on them, oh well the coffee is great and i don't wait in line. HA! Great service and your videos convinced me to buy. Thank you

glass carafe version
Review by Mike I -
Value Quality Price Great format to be able to view worthwile real video reviews before purchasing a product from you. This format is brilliant. I did buy the Bonavita glass caraffe drip coffee maker for an older family member, who wanted something simple ,non programable but would brew a great cup of coffee. This coffee maker fits the bill. Money goes into the 1400watt heating element which begins the brew at aprox 200deg extracting the best flavor from the beans.....just geat, Thanks again SCG. I will buy again
