The Bonavita 5 Cup Coffeemaker with Stainless Steel Carafe BV 1500TS is one of Bonavita’s next generation line of coffeemakers, optimized for smaller batches of coffee from 4 to 5 cups. The BV1500TS heats water to 195°-205°F and the large showerhead disperses it evenly over the coffee grounds for the fullest extraction. This smaller machine has two brewing modes: normal or pre-infusion mode which pulses water through for optimal saturation and to allow fresher grinds to degas.

All plastic parts are BPA free and dishwasher safe, but the carafe is handwash only. Manufacturer’s 2 year warranty.

Excellent Coffee Maker Early review: this is a wonderful coffee maker. I had the BV1800, which I really liked. However, I only brew about 16oz at a time. Decided to give my 1800 to a friend (who needed the larger capacity), and try this one. Both make very good coffee, but I like this one (BV1500) better for small batches. It has the pre-infusion cycle, which is a plus. The smaller carafe keeps coffee a little bit hotter. This one has a V shaped cone filter vs the flat bottom filter available on the Bonavita BV1900…
Perfect for the work from home ‘I just want 2 cups in the morning’ Coffee drinker…. Makes as good a cup of coffee as you can buy. A bit pricey, but worth it if you are looking for a less than 8 or 12 cup maker. The pre-saturation feature for fresh ground coffee is great. Allows plenty of bloom. And the thermal carafe keeps coffee above 120 degrees for 2 hours with no preheating. Combine this with a Capresso 560 Infinity Burr Grinder and you have barista level coffee right in your kitchen.
Really wanted to hate this coffee maker… I’ve tried – and failed miserably – to make a decent cup of coffee at home. Since the late 80’s…. Two coffee makers. French press. Pour over. Grinding my own beans – beans that were hand picked by elves, roasted under a rainbow, and carried to the store by unicorns. No matter what I try it always tastes awful. Always.
