Pour-over style coffee is increasingly popular because it produces the cleanest cup possible. Taking into account variables like time, temperature, and grind size, you can pull out even the most delicate nuances in your coffee by manually brewing. The problem is the concentration required for a pour-over can be cumbersome. Switching to a larger batch brew usually means giving up your ability to dial in your brew recipe. The Breville Precision Brewer is the solution to this dilemma. This top-performing brewer stood out in brew quality with enhanced flavor notes similar to a pour-over. The customizable features on the Precision Brewer allow for adjustability over pre-infusion, water temp, and flow rate for your various brewing needs.  
For many, the Precision Brewer's price won't be worth it —- unless you're chasing the best cup of coffee. This is a machine for true coffee nerds, not those simply seeking a straightforward way to make coffee. This brewer is worth the investment for anyone who loves the pour-over quality but wants something more convenient. This machine allows you to transfer your pour-over preferences to a 12-cup coffee maker. And with single-cup brewing to a cold brew setting, this coffee maker does it all.
