Brazen

ashtonlady · 09-30-2012, 09:27 PM

New Brazen is ordered. Look forward to seeing if it is as good as my Behmor roaster.

ashtonlady · 10-05-2012, 12:07 PM

ETA is today.

Mr B · 10-05-2012, 12:23 PM

Very cool lookin' brewer. Sounds like it has some nice features. Please let us know what you think.

ashtonlady · 10-05-2012, 08:14 PM

Set up is easy. Brewed my first pot. But tomorrow morning will be the test. So far so good is the thoughts so far.

ashtonlady · 10-06-2012, 10:57 AM

Ok, the final vertict is in, adjusted the heat a little, moved the ground up to a couple clicks finer. Roasted a batch of Coffee last night. And I am completely pleased with the Brazen. Thank you Behmor for another well thought out product.

Laura, thanks for the review. I hadn't heard of the Brazen. I'd been toying with the idea of a drip machine, if just for the convenience factor. I still love my FP, but the limited quantity and what to do with the grounds every time can start to become a PITA. Time to start saving my pennies.

ashtonlady · 10-09-2012, 04:14 PM

Bob, it is a new machine that has just come out. I like the fact that I can control the temprature and the soak time. It makes a big diffrence in how the coffee tastes.

germantown rob · 10-29-2012, 03:56 PM

I have had the Brazen for a few weeks now and I am really liking it. There are brewers out there that can brew at the proper temp (195f-205f) but are either very expensive or just not what I wanted to spend my money on for various reasons. The Brazen allows the user to adjust the brew temp very easily as well as a presoak time which can be very important with fresh roasted coffee to help control the bloom. Darn good machine for $200 and Behmor has always had great customer service so I dont worry if there is a problem along the way since I know it will get fixed.

ashtonlady · 10-29-2012, 04:51 PM

Glad I am not the only one that loves mine.

jonumberone · 12-08-2012, 07:52 AM

This is on my wife's short list.
Laura, still liking it?

jonumberone · 12-19-2012, 08:36 AM

Bit the bullet and ordered this.
Reviews seemed to be mostly positive and my wife hates the looks of the Technivorm pots.
Will share my thoughts after Xmas.

ashtonlady · 12-19-2012, 10:34 AM

Yes I still love it. I am glad you are getting one. Let me know what the wife thinks

jonumberone · 12-27-2012, 07:42 AM

Made the first pot this morning.
More than a decent cup.
Set up was a real breeze.
Will have to play around with it a bit, since changing the settings couldn't be easier.
So far, I am pleased.

jonumberone · 01-05-2013, 07:43 AM

If I have one complaint, after the first cup, the carafe doesn't keep the coffee hot enough.
I thought about raising the brew temp, but I kind of like it where it is.
I've pre-heated the carafe with hot water, and found it doesn't make much of a difference.
The only real solution I've come up with, is to drink my first cup faster!

ashtonlady · 01-06-2013, 05:20 AM

You must like really hot coffee, Mine is so hot I have to wait a few minetes to drink it.

Something isn't right here.
I have an email in to Tech support.
I don't know what the problem is, but the coffee is just way too cold.
I'll update when I hear back from them.

Behmor customer support is really good, they should take care of you but they may be a little busy so don't give up. There is bound to be real world issues that arise with a first release production.

The caraf is not supposed to go into a dishwasher because it can hurt the seal that joins the caraf together. If this seal fails the problem you are having sounds like the result, I am not saying you put it in the dishwasher. There have been a few reports just like this over at Coffee Geek and then they disappear from activity because Joe and his team take care of the problem, I don't think black vans show up at their houses but I can't really say

ashtonlady · 01-13-2013, 04:45 PM

I will be interested in the reply.

longknocker · 01-14-2013, 08:49 PM

Any Updates, Dom? I Have A Capresso 10 Cup Machine That Has Worked Well For The Past 5 Years, But I'm Always Looking For Something Better!

ashtonlady · 01-14-2013, 09:08 PM

The Capresso is what I replaced. I wasnt getting the great temp control I do with my Brazen.
