Enthusiast

I’m pretty happy with my Bonavita. You want to get the Enthusiast model with the insulated carafe and filter holder that slides in to the brewer.

I just purchased a Bonavita Enthusiast 8 cup for $150 off of Amazon. I know your question is the best, but this is a great machine for the money.

2nd vote for the enthusiast. I toyed with something more expensive but decided to go with the Bonavita and its been a great choice so far. No frills, removable tank, and simply makes a good cup meeting the sca certification.

I have the same, solid brewer. I have a Moccamaster at work and it's an upgrade over the enthusiast, but the Bonavita was a bargain, bought when Kohls stocked them a few years ago and it's been problem free.

I agree with the Bonavita recommendation. Currently have the Enthusiast and love it (the removable water tank makes life just a little easier). Had a smaller version for several years before it stopped working well.

For a drip machine, the Bonavita Enthusiast for $150 is a fantastic option.
