Every morning deserves a great cup of coffee. The Bonavita Classic 5-Cup Thermal Brewer makes sure you get one — without making you work for it.
Most home coffee makers quietly fail at the most important part: temperature. Bonavita's 1100-watt heater locks in 195°–205°F through the entire brew cycle (the exact range the Specialty Coffee Association certifies as the sweet spot for full, rich extraction) and it holds it there every single time. A precision wide showerhead rains water evenly over every ground in the filter so nothing gets missed, and an optional bloom mode gives freshly roasted coffee a 30-second head start so you get every bit of flavor that's in there. When brewing is done, the double-wall stainless steel thermal carafe keeps your coffee hot and fresh for hours — no heating plate, no burnt aftertaste, no sad second cup. One button starts it all. Everything that comes apart goes right in the dishwasher. And it's compact enough to live happily on any counter without taking over.
This is what it feels like when your coffee maker actually does its job. This is coffee, brewed properly.

Follow these steps to descale your machine:
For best performance, we recommend descaling your brewer after approximately every 100 uses, or more frequently in areas with very hard water.

"I have used a full size Bonavita for many years. For the good drip coffee I can make when I grind my own beans. Now I am moving into a small apartment with a tiny kitchen and limited counter space. And yes, the 5-cup can make two large mugs with a gulp or two left over!"
"I love my 5 cup Bonavita. My only complaint is when I hold the on/off button for 5 seconds to get the pre-fusion mode, the light doesn't blink. Also, the numbers are not white like my last one. I like this brand which is why I purchased another one."
"Hello, it is a lovely coffee maker but the carafe is too heavy for me. I am elderly and have arthritis and it is hard for me to handle it. I already requested a return and will be shipping it back shortly."
"This is a wonderful, compact coffee maker and a dream to use. I’m loving it"
"What a surprise, it’s just as advertised. Worlds better than our old Keurig and our coffee tastes wonderful. I was never crazy about our Keurig but it was convenient but just not worth it."
"Not only does the coffee brewer make good coffee I learned about how to prepare the coffee beans and other adviced in the manual. This product is definitely invented by coffee connoisseur and aficionados. I proud to be an owner of a Bonavita and will be ordering the special filters!"
"The water level line is too hard to see & made more difficult only marked on one side."
"Not a fan - very awkward to use. Coffee does not stay hot very long in the carafe. No returns once you have used it - how do you know if you like it unless you use it?"
"Too small, No heating element, Coffee does not brew hot enough, carafe doesn’t stay warm . If I return it I loose 30% of cost and have to pay to ship it back. How’s that sound ."
"Best coffee ever."
