She went with the [bonavita 5-cup](https://www.amazon.com/Bonavita-One-Touch-Featuring-Thermal-BV1500TS/dp/B00SK5IXPQ). Immediately, just using pre-ground store bought coffee she was happier. She got the one with the timer, set it up at night and had 25oz (yeah 5 cups at 5oz is not a LOT of coffee) of hot, freshly brewed coffee when she woke up. Since she moved in, she's moved away from pre-ground and for a while I'd weigh out and grind the beans the night before. Then I left the country for a bit and she was going to just use up the rest of my beans but got used to weigh/grind and has stuck with that for about 9 months now. \r\n\r\nI'd say, get something similar to that bonavita, maybe the 8-cup if you think you'll be making coffee for more than 2 people (EVER!) and just get peet's coffee from the store with the nearest \"roasted on\" date. They sell a variety of coffees blended from all regions and you can get a taste for different kinds of coffee if you want. If you just want coffee tasting coffee, get cafe domingo or major dickason blend are both really good traditional \"coffee\". If that's what you're happy with, stick with it. If you get into it, check out fancier bean selections, then an encore grinder, and a scale.","subreddit_name":"Coffee","author":"user_1729"},{"body":"You can look into some of the smaller capacity Bonavita brewers. IIRC, a part of being certified by the SCAA/SCA is a brewer’s carafe capacity, but the [5-cup Bonavita](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SK5IXPQ), which is $70 on Amazon atm, has the same optimal brewing temperature that the certified 8-cup brewer has, but it doesn’t meet the SCA certification requirements because it’s smaller. \r\n\r\n","subreddit_name":"Coffee","author":"wskv"},{"body":"Yeah this must be new.
