Read our full Breville Precision Brewer review →
What we like
- Multiple brew modes, including a manual "gold cup" mode for full control over temperature and flow
- SCA-certified temperature range with a digital display that shows exactly what it's doing
- Programmable start timer, genuinely useful for a scheduled morning brew
- Handles both a full 12-cup carafe and a single-serving mode without needing a second machine
What we don't
- More buttons and modes than casual users will ever touch
- One-year warranty is noticeably shorter than the Moccamaster's five
- Plastic-heavy housing with more electronic parts than a mechanical machine, meaning more that could eventually fail
