Bruvi included by The Spruce Eats in their Top Picks for Coffee and Espresso Machine Combos

 

The Spruce Eats tested about a dozen combination coffee and espresso makers, evaluating each on ease of use, heat up time, brew quality and cleanup. A panel of coffee tasters then judged shots of espresso and cups of coffee to decide on their Top Picks.

We were happy that they included Bruvi as the only pod based brewer on their list, citing in particular these points:

  • Strong, tasty drip coffee

  • Specialiized pods for espresso

  • Holds up well over time

  • Bright, stylish design

Other comments about Bruvi included these:

“The Bruvi BV-01 is one of our best-reviewed pod coffee makers. It brews seven different beverages, including drip coffee, espresso, and even matcha.”

They also described Bruvi brewed coffee as “superior to most pod coffee”, going on to say:

“This is partially because Bruvi's signature B-Pods are sourced from specialty roasters and include more coffee grounds than average pods. Several B-Pods are specifically designed for espresso, and the Bruvi BV-01 produces 15 bars of pressure, which is the recommended amount for espresso shots.”

“We've used the machine for over two years and haven't faced any issues. Like most pod coffee makers, it's effortless to use and cuts down on brewing time compared to other coffee makers. (It makes authentic-tasting cold brew coffee in just five minutes.) The removable 70-ounce water reservoir is easy to fill in the morning, and if you're hurrying before work, you can brew remotely using the Bruvi app. Another reason to go with the Bruvi Brewer is that B-Pods break down faster than most coffee pods and don't leave behind microplastics.”

If you enjoy both coffee and espresso at home, think about Bruvi. It’s not only a convenient way to brew both, but can also make cold brew and matcha. And with its award winning design, it will look great on your countertop.
