Mountain KitchenCoffee Products
The gear on my counter: grinders, brewers, kettles, scales and the small stuff. What I use it for, what's good and bad about it, and whether I'd buy it again.
Breville — Precision Brewer Thermal
Breville · Drip brewer
My go-to when I need to make a big batch. A 60oz drip brewer with real control over bloom, flow rate and temperature, and it's been easy to use and dependable for years.
Breville — Spiral Luxe Auto Pour Over
Breville · Automatic pour-over
A grind-and-brew automatic pour-over with 40mm flat burrs and a moving spout. The least programmable of the bunch, but the most consistent and hardest to mess up.
Cosori — Juni
Cosori · Automatic pour-over
The budget automatic pour-over: a touch panel, three pour patterns over a rotating basket, and a full 1.5L thermal carafe. Bring your own grinder.
Fellow — Aiden Precision Coffee Maker
Fellow · Precision brewer
Not a moving-spout robot, but a programmable brewer that does single cups or a 10-cup batch, with control over bloom, pulses and temperature.
OXO — Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker
OXO · Drip brewer
An affordable, SCA-certified drip machine sold as an auto pour-over, with a bloom cycle, a steady brew temperature and a single dial.
xBloom — Studio
xBloom · Automatic pour-over
The original grind, weigh and pour machine. A built-in grinder and scale, and an app that lets you control nearly every part of the brew.
