Overview
Plain-jane drip brewers beware, the Breville Precision Brewer promises an extended featureset more robust than any brewer on the market. The Precision Brewer starts with a dedicated Gold Cup setting that meets all standards for SCAA certification, including a brew temperature between 198 and 204°, a total brew time under 8 minutes, and an even wetting of the coffee bed. Other dedicated drip brew modes include 'fast' for a quicker brew that raises flow rate, and 'strong' which lowers it. You also get a 'My Brew' setting that gives you direct control over bloom time, flow rate and temperature. Each mode accepts brew sizes between 8 and 60 ounces, and lets you adjust for #4 cone or regular flat bottom filters (or the included goldtone reusable basket filter). This extra-flexible basket design also opens up brew options not usually possible in regular drip brewers, including automatic cold brewing, over-ice brewing, and settings for automatic pour overs with a V60 or Melitta in place of the drip basket. If you're a lover of multiple brew methods, the Precision Brewer's multi-use design is sure to impress.

Pros
- Quality Coffee: Calibrated to brew at the SCAA-rated 198-204°, the Precision Brewer makes a seriously good cup of coffee.
- Versatile: Drip coffee? Check. Single cup? Check. Cold Brew? Yep. Iced Coffee? Good to go. Multi-use brewers are awesome.
- High-capacity: Being able to brew up to 60 ounces of coffee at a time is fantastic for guests, parties, or just the caffeine-deprived.
-
Cons
- A Little Tall: Standing at just under 16 inches, the Precision Brewer is a little tall to fit under some cabinets.
- Options Abound: While the amount of functionality available on the Precision Brewer is truly incredible, it's definitely not a 'simple' brewer. You'll be spending some time finding your ideal settings.
