that water temp is in the enclosed controlled head on the thing,  once it drops down then all bets are off on temperature retention.  Pour your 195 degree water into a french press and watch how quickly it cools.

If you brewed in it's basket it might do ok because that is enclosed and once the initial heating shot is through probably will keep the water within ten degrees or so of what you dialed it in to.  If you are dumping into a french press, I can't see it keeping the temperature at all.  Too much loss on the way down and through the glass walls.

It does look "in a va tuve".

Temp control, dwell time control, room to bloom... I don't see anything not to like about it. Should be a home run.

I'm a committed non auto guy but if I wasn't I'd be very interested.

I wish I could try it out - I have one of the new Bodum b. over auto drip brewers heading my way - I thought this was vapor ware (still might be) but I can test it head to head against my Bonavita BV-1800. If I could get my hands on one of these Brazen's and a Technivorm too it would make for a great over $100 machine shoot out.

That's my plan! If all goes well I'll bring Gort home with me from SCAA and set her next to my Moccamaster and give the club feedback on the "Drip Off!"  8)

It was all B|Java's fault.... he posted a link.  They were on sale for $195 shipped....and my drip machine (Mrs. Milowebailey uses) was on the fritz.

I liked it until I saw the name Nick Cho. Oh wait, that was another one.
