Good Housekeeping Tested Bruvi for a Year: “Here’s Why Its One of the Best Single-Serve Coffee Makers”

“If you want a tasty cup of coffee with the convenience of single-serve, it’s hard to beat Bruvi. In fact, we think it’s so good that the Bruvi earned a spot in our Kitchen Awards.”

That’s the conclusion of the team at Good Housekeeping, who recently featured Bruvi in a new review. Not only is Bruvi a “staple in the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab” where their experts and staff continue to use it since first testing it last year, they’ve also had at home-testers and other staff members use Bruvi and try various B-Pods.  They evaluated Bruvi on ease of use, performance and taste. Below are excerpts from the article, including feedback from their team. Millions of us trust Good Housekeeping for their thorough and objective product testing, so it’s especially gratifying to read their praise for Bruvi. 

First Impressions

“My first impression of the Bruvi was its sleek, modern look, with light wood accents and an illuminated touchscreen panel. Like other single-serve machines, it’s incredibly easy to use—just insert a pod, make a few quick selections, and you’ll have a hot cup of coffee in minutes. I appreciated the range of drink options, including espresso, cold brew, iced coffee, and Americano, as well as the ability to adjust temperature and size. I also appreciated the unique “low-acid” setting, which is perfect for coffee drinkers like me who can’t tolerate overly acidic brews. Of course, a good first impression only matters if the coffee tastes great—and that’s where it really counts.”

 Bruvi Coffee vs Other Brands

“Our experts and at-home testers rated the Bruvi highly for its tasty coffee, and most preferred its flavor compared to other single-serve coffee makers. One of our Test Kitchen pros gave the Wonderland Dancing Spoon coffee a top score, noting that it has a complex aroma with fruity notes, very little bitterness, and a smooth finish.”

“Another consumer who tested it at home shared that their son and daughter-in-law said that it tasted better than their Keurig.”

GH Lab Results

“In Lab testing, Bruvi earned top scores for its easy-to-use interfact and stellar performance in making a tasty, hot cup of coffee.”

“Bruvi's preheat time is nearly nonexistent, and it starts brewing coffee within seconds of pressing the start button. In just over a minute, you'll have a delicious cup of coffee. Our experts and at-home consumer testers appreciated the customizations, including options for hotter coffee, low-acid coffee, stronger brews, iced or cold brew, and plus-size selections ranging from 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 ounces, depending on the coffee type.”

Tester Feedback

“Both at-home testers and staff overwhelmingly praised the Bruvi for ease, convenience, and delicious coffee. One consumer tester noted, “It made it very easy to make a coffee or latte in about a minute or so while getting ready for work in the morning.”

“Testers also gave Bruvi's espresso high marks, and the Kitchen Appliances Reviews Analyst  notes that the brand's partnerships with top coffee roasters are evident in its flavorful espresso.”

“All of our consumer testers were impressed with the quality of the coffee and espresso they tried, with one saying, "The B-Pods we used were all good-quality coffee products. The coffee is great quality for a pod-based system." One tester commented that they preferred the Bruvi over their espresso machine because it produces more consistent results and is easier to clean, while still making great-tasting coffee.”

“Multiple consumer testers commented that they liked the custom options for making coffee to their preference and found the preset options for each type of coffee easy to use.”

“Consumer testers enjoyed the app, one said, ‘t’s very easy to use, and brewing remotely is very convenient,’ while another noted, ‘I like that it shows details about each cup so I can remember which settings I liked best.”

“One staff member said, ‘I really like the way this looks on the countertop. The touchscreen makes it feel super futuristic.’ Another added that they loved how the color and wood accents complement each other perfectly.”
