Breville Precision Brewer

“if easy morning batch brewing and reliability are more important, I would go with the Sage/Breville Precision Brewer. You can get consistent flavor and results with either machine.”

“I don’t see enough people talking about this trusty little machine. I personally brew large batches of coffee (60g/ 1 litre) every morning with this thing and have got plenty of pleasant cups.”

“Caraffe lid defective. 1. Sporadically, coffee sprays out during brewing all over the counter! 2. Water held inside lid. 3. Can’t pour coffee out through the bad lid. Just dribbles out.”

“I've had the American model for about a year now and love it. I will say though, I feel like I am constantly tinkering with the 'My Brew' settings to sort of find that perfect combination.”

“I have to keep a very close eye on the coffee canister when I put paper filters. The steam from the machine folds to the top of the coffee bed it AT LEAST 5 out of 10 times I do coffee.”

“I’m very pleased with the Breville Precision Brewer. The bloom time and water flow speed controls allow me to reasonably mimic what we can do on our Fetco at the cafe, which I think rivals manual brewing.”

“For big batches it’s great. Hate it for any small batches. Has some heating issues with small batches with personal testing but makes really awesome cups for a full pot.”

“It gave me decent cups, but ultimately pulled the trigger on the Aiden when that launched. Been much happier with my results from the Aiden that anything I was able to get from the Breville”

“I much prefer the results out of the Breville. I also enjoy the ability to change variables on the Breville which makes the result even better.”

“For me it’s an issue with the spring loaded topper to the carafe. The thing gets stuck in the down position, then it doesn’t lift up the little thing on the coffee maker.”

“I have it, and I like it. I don’t find the pump to be that bad. I certainly haven’t had issues of mugs sliding around. I did have a QA issue with the first one. I pulled it out of the box and a chunk of plastic was broken off the water tank.”

“I can't say that I have noticed either setting having significant variations, at least nowhere near as different as changes in grind size.”

“the Breville shower head only drips water in the center, leading to uneven extraction. There is most likely a crater in the grounds bed after brewing. This is the main drawback to this coffee maker.”

“I had issues with the bloom dumping half a tank of water (way too much to simply bloom) So I contacted Breville. They said that shouldn”

“I have a precision. I mostly make it in 4-6 cup brews (which makes 2-3 cups I drink) and it works great in my opinion.”

“One reason I dislike drip machines is they are hard to keep clean, and have to be descaled, but they also just don’t make as good coffee, even the best ones.”

“the features list for both models justifies the higher cost than what you’ll find with your run-of-the-mill appliance. Yes, it’s JUST a coffee maker, but it’s also one of the few to earn certification by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).”

“Now, having bought a used one,I can say it apparently does not. I set my Bloom to one minute and put my pot in at about 45 seconds.”

“my coffee comes out weak and underextracted. If I brew a large amount using the flat bottom filter, it comes out great.”

“for large batches of medium roast please all coffee, its great. we really have it dialed in for our local roast.”

“by Mar we were tired of cleaning the countertop and inside the lower cabinets from coffee spills which were occurring at least three or four times a week.”

“Having to manually intervene to ensure that the bed gets evenly saturated is very 2010. Tank of a machine”

“have enjoyed it as a good alternative for when I’m too lazy to manual pour or when I have a lot of guests over”

“I started suspecting a moldy taste. After finding this thread and doing the drill hole mod and soaking in cleaning solution heaps of gross stuff came out.”
