it's been a good three years since the bonavita bv1800 ts1 our editors choice award we loved it for its comparatively low price and the outstandingly delicious pots of drip it made now Bonavita has a follow-up brewer it calls the connoisseur it has the same $190 price tag as its predecessor Bonavita also tweaked this new model to perform a little better and be a little easier to use that's a bold claim the Bonavita connoisseur does do the 1900 justice it brews coffee every bit as delicious as the 1900 and in some cases better in fact the connoisseur brews more consistently from pot to pot this model keeps the same compact design with just a few parts to clean using it is just as simple just press one button you can still hold it down for five seconds to toggle the pre-soak function on and off the flat bottom filter basket accepts matching paper filters one difference instead of just resting on top of the carafe there's now an actual rail to slide the basket into to fill the water tank just flip open its wide flap and pour away Bonavita says it improved how the craft pours that doesn't seem to be the case it feels the same as the old pitcher it's still a thermal carafe so it'll keep your brew hot for hours when you break it all down the new Bonavita connoisseur is a great buy for all the reasons the 1900 TS was that's why it turns our editors choice award
