Review on ☕ Coffee Maker by Brim by Faye Wright

So I decided between this machine and the Bonavita drip machine. I chose this one based on the aesthetics and reviews that it makes delicious coffee. It really is like that, I'm always amazed at how good the coffee from this machine is. Very easy to use, it brews 4 to 8 5-ounce cups of coffee in 6 to 8 minutes, and the warming plate keeps the coffee hot for an additional 30 minutes. Minutes after brewing to auto shut off. Note: I drink about 20 ounces of coffee in the morning, so the 4 cup amount is perfect for me. If you don't drink that much I would recommend a machine that makes less or get an insulated container for extra coffee. The machine looks and feels high quality, but I deducted a star because the carafe looks flimsy and feels fragile, although replacement carafes are now available. Also, the carafe has a removable silicone handle that will keep your hands warm but can still get quite hot, so FYI if you have sensitive fingers. removed the stove and developed the thermal carafe, that would easily be a 5-star machine. Update 03/19/21: My pot broke today, knocked on the edge of the plate while washing. I'm not upset that it broke, I'm a bit upset that a replacement isn't available and judging by other reviews it never was. Brim recommended another user to buy a 32 ounce ($22) Bodum decanter that he claims works with the brewer, so I ordered it today. Update 3/21/21: Bodum carafe not working! It is lower than the original jug, so water and coffee grounds spill out. Very disappointed with Brim for lack of replacement carafes or reasonably priced (seriously, $50?). In any case I will not try to replace the decanter again, I will just buy a new machine from a more reliable company. I changed my rating to 1 star, the machine made good coffee but was practically unusable due to the fragile and apparently very rare carafe.
