In this case, the easy route is not equivalent to a shortcut in quality. We like the Breville Luxe Brewer for its precision and consistency in brewing coffee at the press of a button. Calibrated to create a cup that meets Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Golden Cup standards, this home brewer is a fantastic option for busy coffee lovers looking to batch brew. It includes flat bottom and cone filter options to diversify your brewing, and can even whip out some great cold brew. We give this one points for functionality with its removable water tank (easy refills) and a heater plate that will keep your coffee hot for up to 6 hours.
