Brazen

I dont like mine grinding the beans, I like to control it more than that. I also dont like cleaning the grinder in those kind of machines.

It Does Make A Mess. Laura: How Do You Know What Temperature To Set Your Brazen On? Thanks! BTW, Anything You Don't Like On Your Brazen Compared To Your Old Capresso?

Greg, just like finding the right RH for your cigars, it's trial and error.
Adjusting the grind and temp to suit your palate, is part of the fun.
I'm finding that the carafe isn't keeping my coffee warm enough.
I could just raise the brew temp and see if that helps, but that defeats the purpose of the machine, IMO.

BTW, I did receive a response from Behmor yesterday.
We're going to take the readings at some point today.
I'll keep all posted as to there response.

Hello,
So that we can better help figure out what is going on, can you take a temperature reading just after brewing and at 40 minutes?
Depending on your brew settings, we would expect to see the carafe hold at around 170 degrees at 40 minutes from brewing.
Let us know,
Lara

I love my Brazen, to me it was well worth the cost. The Capresso didnt allow me to get the full flavor from my coffee and because of the way it was set up I was getting grounds in my water chamber.

No, I dont think grinding coffee seperately makes a mess. It allows me to have more control of my grind and to see it before I put it in the filter.
