What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's "Also Great" pick, with "an especially easy-to-handle carafe" that's thermal, so coffee stays hot without a hot plate. Its water was in the ideal range for only 54 percent of the cycle (the KBGV's: 91), and tasters found its coffee "mild," "rounded," and "gentle"; ATK scored its coffee the same as the KBGV's. ATK didn't test long-term durability, and the listing doesn't state a warranty (the KBGV's is 5 years).
