The Breville Precision Brewer Thermal is an upscale drip coffee maker that offers temperature control and programmable brewing features to make a flawless cup of coffee. It has a stainless-steel exterior and ample capacity, making it ideal for a busy office or home.
Precise and Customizable Brewing
The selling point is the adjustable brewing and precision temperature control of the Breville Precision Brewer Thermal. It can set water temperature in 1-degree increments between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit for the perfect coffee drip extraction. It has 6 preset brewing modes to choose from - Gold, Fast, Strong, Over Ice, My Brew, and Cold Brew. My Brew' mode is fully programmable, allowing you to control bloom time, brew temperature, and flow rate to create your own custom brew profile.
These variable settings give you complete control over the brewing process to enable you to make your coffee as strong or as weak as you like. This leads to a more balanced extraction of the coffee grounds, which means better aroma and flavor in the cup of coffee.
High Quality Construction and Design
Breville Precision Brewer Thermal boasts a tall stainless-steel construction. The stainless thermal stainless-steel carafe has double wall. It maintains 12 cups of coffee hot and retains heat for 2 hours. It also boasts an extra-large water tank with a 1.8-liter height. The consequences here are that it will not need to be refilled frequently. Shower head ensures even saturation as well as optimal flavor pulling.
In general, the Breville Precision Brewer Thermal is built very solidly, and the thoughtful design touches validate its premium design. The only downside is that the stainless-steel casing is smudge- and fingerprint-eye-off-putting. But regular wiping and cleaning can minimize the issue.
So in my opinion, the Breville Precision Brewer Thermal is well worth attention from any serious coffee lover wanting to make quality coffee drip to exacting and precise standards. While at the higher end of the cost spectrum, its unusual combination of innovative features, tough build quality and exceptional performance is every cent money well spent. For anyone looking for maximum creativeness and innovativeness while making coffee, this Breville coffee maker is definitely in a league of its own
