Our take on the THE BREWER - Plastic-free Programmable (2nd Gen)

The Brewer is a 8-cup drip coffee maker built around a plastic-free brew path: water and coffee touch only borosilicate glass, stainless steel and medical-grade silicone. A 24-hour timer, 195–205°F temperature control and a pre-infusion bloom cycle put it closer to pour-over results than most programmable drippers. It suits people who want scheduled coffee without plastic in the path and who brew a pot or two a day. Against rivals like the Moccamaster and OXO Brew 8-Cup, it trades a larger reservoir and faster heating for the glass-and-steel build and the timer those lack.

Questions and answers

Is the brew path really plastic-free?
Yes. Water and coffee contact only borosilicate glass, stainless steel and medical-grade silicone. No plastic or aluminum is in the path.
How many cups does it make?
It brews up to 8 cups, or 40 ounces, in about 6 minutes. The carafe and reservoir are on the small side, so a crowd means a second pot.
Does it have a timer?
Yes, a 24-hour programmable timer, and settings hold for 72 hours during a power outage. You can wake up to a finished pot.
What filters does it take?
It uses standard #4 cone filters in a stainless steel basket. The basket is not dishwasher-safe, so rinse it by hand.
How does it compare with a Moccamaster?
Both brew at proper temperature into a glass carafe. The Brewer adds a programmable timer and bloom cycle; the Moccamaster has a larger reservoir and simpler mechanics.

The brewer, water tank lid, showerhead, filter basket and basket lid, plus the automatic bloom setting built in.
