MEET THE MACHINES! Bkon Craft Brewer www.bkonbrew.com Vacuum and immersion technology merge in this multifunction brewing device, which draws its inspi- ration from sous vide machines to allow for consistent temperature application and pressurized infusion in order to maximize flavor and even extraction. The Bkon can be used to brew tea as well as coffee, and is also great for creating infused spirits. Blossom www.blossomcoffee.com If it reminds you a bit of the now-Starbucks-owned Clo- ver, you're not mistaken—even the name is evocative of that early version of high-tech single-brew technology. The Blossom boasts an even fuller range of barista con- trol and precision brewing, though, with the capacity to modify individual variables (such as temperature, dwell time, and agitation) without affecting the others. Bonavita www.bonavitaworld.com It's impossible to make good coffee without water, and nobody knows how to heat things up like Bonavita. The company's focus on achieving and maintaining steady and optimum brewing temperature with its electric kettles and automatic brewers—the latter is some of the best home equipment on the market—is why Bonavita's range of products can be found in many a barista's own home. Seraphim www.wilburcurtis.com Controlling the temperature, flow, pulses, and movement of water within a coffee bed is probably more than half the battle—which is why Wilbur Curtis has taken the million-dollar principles behind its Gold Cup brewer and incorporated them into a slick and tidy new under-counter model called Seraphim. The marriage of contemporary aesthetics with the company's time-tested technology will definitely cause coffee quality to skyrocket into the heavens, just as the name implies. e r, and nobody kn ow s how to heat things v ing and maint ai ni ng stead y y and optimum d automatic br r ew ers—the la la tt er is some of y Bonavita's range of f pro du ct ct s ca c n n be be f ou u nd n 70 barista magazine B o o k 4 7 - 9 2 . i n d d 7 0 Book 47-92.indd 70 5 / 1 5 / 1 4 1 0 : 4 5 P M 5/15/14 10:45 PM
