Our score: 83 / 100

What we like
- Reaches and holds SCA-certified brew temperature far more precisely than most drip machines
- Copper heating element and hand-assembled build back up a genuinely long five-year warranty
- Brews a full carafe in around six minutes, faster than most drip makers its size
- Simple, mechanical switch means fewer electronic parts to eventually fail
What we don't
- No programmable start timer on the standard model — you flip a switch, you don't schedule a wake-up brew
- $329 is a steep price for a machine with no display, no presets, no app
- Plastic housing (despite the premium internals) feels like an odd match for the price tag to some buyers
