Breville Precision Brewer BDC455 Review

The Breville Precision Brewer lives up to its name, offering a few great features that give it the edge over every other drip coffee maker on the market:

• PID control for precise (and digital) temperature control
• Pump with 3 different flow rate settings
• Bloom time control in My Brew mode
• Both flat and conical filter baskets
• Gold Cup mode for optimal temperature and time settings per SCA standards

There are 6 different brew type settings — Fast, Gold Cup, Strong, Over Ice, My Brew, and Cold Brew — and the digital display notifies you of the machine’s progress from Heating to Blooming to Brewing.

And yes, you read that right — the Breville Precision Brewer actually makes cold brew coffee using cold water and full immersion for 4-14 hours.

Small touches like the water reservoir’s volume labels don’t go unnoticed either. From top to bottom, the Precision Brewer is carefully designed and well-made for people who are serious about their coffee.
