@coffeegeek@coffee The Behmor v3.0 might be worthy of a review. We just replaced our old Behmor v1.0 with it.
Even though it looks identical (i.e. still kinda ugly), it's significantly-improved. The carafe maintains temperature for hours longer despite looking unchanged, the brew is stronger. I feel like I never hear about this machine but others might like it.
@zachnfine@coffee I reviewed the V1 on the old website a few years back. It has the same issue all the Behmor products have: an engineers' product. IE extremely complicated UI for the average user; you need to really read the manual front to back to understand how to use it. Other than that, it did a great job at brewing coffee.
I should get in touch with Joe Behm to see if he wants us to review the new V3.
@coffeegeek@coffee I just followed the instructions once and then never changed a setting for years. My altitude, water quality, and beans were pretty stable. Maybe I wasn't doing things the way a normal (or serious) coffee drinker would.
I think setup hasn't changed in v3, so there's still more calibration than may be the norm. I built a PID-controlled sous vide system built on a microcontroller once upon a time so had some idea what it was probably doing internally.
@coffeegeek@coffee I replaced my Breville Precision with this OXO a few months ago. The 9 cup wasn’t big enough for my household. After reading the Dirty Cup article recently, I’m trying to find a nice reusable filter for it. Hoping your review will cover reusable filters that fit in the commercial basket well!
