Favorite Purchase:

My day doesn't start until I flip the switch on my Bonavita Coffee Maker. It couldn't be simpler to use, it brews enough for my partner and I to each have a couple cups in the morning, and the carafe holds heat for hours. I bought my first Bonavita secondhand over four years ago, and I had no qualms about buying a replacement at full price recently.
