I have a Bonavita BV1800 that I've been using for about six months. I brew using 64 grams of coffee with a gold mesh filter. Sometimes I wonder if another auto drip would do a better job or not. I thought I'd list my likes and dislikes and see what other people had to say about their makers.
Likes:
Brews coffee at the correct temperature, according to my Thermopen.
Easy to use and easy to clean.
Brews a full 40 oz of coffee in five minutes.
No electronics so nothing to fail in that area.
Dislikes:
The shower head is too close to the grounds. A lot of time the bloom rises high enough to envelop the shower head which makes a mess on the shower head.
The water doesn't flow evenly through all the water outlets in the shower head. You get a steady stream through the center, but the outer outlets are a hit or miss affair.
