Large and puts you in charge
The Behmore Brazen Plus is big, has distinctive looks and lets home brewers greatly control its coffee-making process.
Complex to control
With a complex control panel boasting lots of buttons, the Brazen Plus takes some study to use.
Big machine, small carafe
The Brazen Plus may be big and tall, but it uses a smaller than average thermal carafe.
Which filter is up to you
The Brazen Plus comes with its own permanent gold filter but also accepts paper ones.
Pour it into metal
The coffee-maker keeps its water supply in a stainless-steel tank.
The carafe could keep things hotter
The Brazen's carafe may be thermal but its brew-through lid lets heat escape too quickly.
Use your own brewer
Want to use the Brazen Plus to brew in your own vessel? No problem. A manual release tackles that task.
