When this product first arrived I was underwhelmed by the product. I have never been a big fan of the CCD. I had always preferred the V60 over the Bonavita. Over the past year my workload, especially in the morning, has gotten greater and greater. Believe it or not I have found that I cherish the three extra minutes that it takes to do a manual pour over. If I use the Bona Vita, I can use that three minutes to prepare my breakfast and be out the door that much sooner.
In short, the Bonavita has become my primary brew method Monday through Friday. I still like the flavor of the V60/Kone better, but the simplicity in the ease of Bonavita make it my go-to, workday brewer. I actually broke my original one a few months back. It was no fault of Bonavita, I knocked it off the counter on the hardwood floors. I ordered a new one the same day. I think this is a great brewer. I think it is especially good for people who are looking for ease-of-use or an introductory brewer for someone's first manual brewer.
