Epicurious Reviews Bruvi: “Bruvi Is the Only Pod Coffee Maker I Will Recommend”

 

We loved this review from Epicurious. Here’s the highlights of what they had to say about Bruvi. 

“And after drinking through the range of what the Bruvi can do, it really does deliver. The problem I’ve always had with pod coffee makers is that the coffee, if it tastes like anything at all, tastes burnt. The Bruvi’s solve for this is to use much more precise temperature control, adjusting temps, along with other brewing parameters like pressure and brew time, to make more flavorful coffee…if your main exposure to single-serve coffee makers is the inexpensive Keurig in someone’s waiting room, this is a huge step up in quality.”

“The Bruvi does a nice job with different coffee drinks as well. The cold brew really is smoother and easier drinking than the other options. Note that what Bruvi calls cold brew is actually coffee made with their precision heater, which heats up rapidly and then quickly cools to 120°F for brewing. They claim that anything brewed below 170°F gives the coffee that lower acidity that people love in cold brew—and, upon tasting, I think they’re right. This is the only single-serve brewer that can make coffee at such a low temperature, and it only takes eight minutes.”

“The espresso shot really does have a nice head of crema on it. And the machine also makes nice tea and Americanos. As I mentioned above, the Bruvi has a wide temperature range, able to brew between 120℉ and 200℉, automatically detecting what temperature and pressure to use based on the pod and settings you choose.”

“…The upshot of all that is that rather than a recycling process used by the likes of Nespresso that requires users to bag up and mail their pods out for processing, B-pods are designed to be chucked in the garbage, delivering on the promise of convenience that has always been the raison d’être of pod coffee machines.”

“All of this functionality gets put together in a smart, clean looking package with bright whites and light wood accents alongside an intuitive and easy to use touchscreen, making it the rare coffee maker that could actually enhance your kitchen decor.”

If you want the convenience of single-serve but don’t want to settle for “meh’ coffee, you should step up to Bruvi: great coffee, better brewing technology, coffee plus espresso plus cold brew (and more), all in a beautiful brewer.
