Six years in development, Balmuda's The Brew aims to make the best single-cup open-drip coffee imaginable. It achieves its aims using a Clear Brewing Method, which instantly boils water at the optimum temperature for each process — steaming, extraction, and finishing. Meanwhile, it automatically calculates the steeping time and pouring volume, dropping just the right amount of hot water in 2ml increments for a strong flavor and a clear aftertaste. Its stainless steel and matte black design presents elegantly on nearly any countertop, and at just 5.5 inches wide, it doesn't take up a ton of space, either.
