The Breville Luxe Brewer is a new premium drip coffee maker
It has a removable water tank and customizable brewing profiles
It’s available with either a glass or stainless steel insulated carafe
Breville, maker of some of the best coffee makers we’ve tested here at TechRadar, has launched a new drip coffee machine that helps you get more flavor from your beans, and avoid one of the most common pitfalls when making filter coffee: water spills.
Even the best drip coffee makers tend to have an integrated water tank, so you have to fill it using the carafe (risking spillage) and you can’t easily see how clean it is, whether it needs descaling, or how much water is inside.
That’s not the case with the new Breville Luxe Brewer, which has a 12-cup water tank with integrated filter that simply lifts off the base, and has an extra-wide top for easy filling.

Like the Fellow Aiden Precision Coffee Maker I reviewed recently, the Breville Luxe Brewer can make brewing as simple or technical as you like. You can begin brewing a pot of coffee with a single button press, or get technical by customizing the bloom volume (the amount of hot water dispensed to pre-infuse your coffee grounds before brewing), bloom time (how long that water is allowed to sit on the coffee grounds), brewing temperature, and flow rate. Once you’ve found your preferred settings, you can save them as a preset for next time.
