Feedback on Curtis Gold Cup Single Cup Brewer

[Musicphan]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has installed and/or used a Curtis Gold Cup Single Cup Brewery. I'm looking for a solution to consistancy brew SO / pour over type brew. Good / Bad / Ugly... I welcome all comments.

had one for a demo and will be ordering one soon after my build out is complete. You can preset multiple programs for different beans, does 2 cups at a time and can simulate pour overs via program set up. Does a nice job. I plan on using it for a last minute cup. The only draw back is if you put the cup underneath, lets use a 20oz, you get a right to the top cup of coffee, co if the customer wanted a dairy product added to it..overflow!! easiest way is to pour into a carafe then cup it. Uses Melitta # 4 filters and you could adapt a Hario carafe and filter easily. They have a new version which looks like two desk lamps on a counter. The boiler is underneath. Same principal of operation.

Thanks for the tip on the overflow... I hadn't thought of that issue. How well & easy was it to dial in flavor profiles using the pulse / water patterns? I noticed there 'lamp' model but haven't seen a price.

Chast..I am sure you can adjust the program to brew any size cup....say 18 oz vs 20.

you can adjust it for water level but you would go back and forth resetting.

I spoke to my Curtis rep about this... the only solution is duplicating your recipes to make 'short' drinks and reduce the water volume on those recipes. No quick 'short my drink 2 oz' type button/option.
