I do a v60 (5 cup) everyday, are there any users of the behmor connected brewer who use it instead of manual brewing? I'm going to be starting school soon and I feel this will be a convenient way of brewing.
Thanks for the advice!

Can't speak to the connected brewer but I've been very happy with the Behmor Brazen and brew a half pot just about every morning.

I love my Brazen for a 4 or 6 cup brew. I HATE it for an 8 cup. The trapezoid shaped flat bottom Bunn filter randomly collapses into the stupid U-shaped basket and kills my brew when I brew a 8 cup pot. My Bunn HG never did that, presumably because Bunn was smart enough to match the shape of the basket to the shape of the filter.

I tested one a year or so ago. Maybe 18 months. The app would not work using my wife's LG Android phone. I hope the software has been improved since then, but it is something to look into before purchase. If you are looking into having a cup of coffee ready in the morning, and you know your schedule, the Brazen does have a clock/timer that will begin brewing at any time for which you program it. IMO, it's features make it a no-brainer purchase.

Are you using the BCF-100B filters? Those are taller.
