Every barista has a B family-- Bonavita's entrepreneurial history.

I often hear from baristas

B house, B house

Every barista has a B house.

Baristas often say B, B, in fact, refers to the brand Bonavita and Brewista, in which the hand pot is a must for many baristas. Today, let me analyze it for you and review this hand-washing pot that we are familiar with and have a story about.

Both Brewista and Bonavita belong to Lay Grand Group of the United States.

In 2016, LayGrand Group redistributed and defined its resources, sublimated and transformed into a "Bonavita pro concept" while retaining the original Bonavita brand product design ideas-defining it as Brewista.

Its brand also has related products on the filter cup, such as smart filter cup, cone filter cup and cake filter cup.

In the United States, Bonavita is recognized as the only equipment designated for brewing coffee, and has been repeatedly recognized as the designated coffee brewing apparatus for top international events. With its unique innovation, excellent quality and attention to customer needs, it has been a great success as soon as it is listed. Among them, Bonavita gooseneck type adjustable temperature electric hand brewing pot and cup measuring pot are the only two coffee utensils of the same kind in the world that can accurately control the temperature (plus or minus 1 degree Celsius).

In December 2008, Brian Gross, the American technical director of Smartco Group, the parent company of the Bonavita brand, found SCAA's George Howell. In response to the rising trend of boutique coffee in North America, consumers' common pain point is that they can buy high-quality freshly roasted coffee beans, but there is no coffee utensils that are simple and practical to operate at the right price.

The first generation temperature control kettle is a stainless steel kettle that can set the temperature. it is a coffee equipment that can keep the temperature within 1 degree Celsius.

At this point, the coffee utensils brand bonavita was born in 2009.

In 2010, Bonavita slender mouth switch electric kettle completed the pre-R & D test, ready to open the mold.

In April 2011, Bonavita 1.0L slender mouth on-off electric kettle was unveiled for the first time in SCAA EXPO, Houston, USA, which won attention and praise from all parties.

In April of the following year, it was unveiled in SCAA EXPO in Portland, USA, and the industry created the first real-time temperature display, accurate temperature control and heat preservation function of Bonavita 1.0L slender mouth hand charge kettle, which caused a sensation and fell short of demand.

In May 2012, the Los Angeles Times reported that the Bonavita 1.0L slender mouth temperature control pot caused a sensation in the industry.

In June of the same month, Newsweek recommended the Bonavita 1.0L temperature control pot as "The Perfect Cup"

In 2013, New York Smash magazine, Must-Have Kitchen Gifts For Cooks And Foodies recommended Bonavita thermostat.

In February 2014, the American Cooking Light's Darcy Lenz evaluated the Bonavita 1.0L temperature control pot.

In 2014, Bonavita handmade its debut in Chinese mainland, received widespread attention and praise, so Bonavita took the opportunity to officially enter the Chinese market.

In the same year, The Coffee Compass recommended Bonavita 1.0L temperature control pot

The second generation temperature control pot

In the past 15 years, Bonavita thermostat can be seen in all the major world coffee competitions.

In 2016, the Bonavita temperature control kettle ushered in the first upgrade and innovation, and the Bonavita 600ml adjustable temperature electric kettle came out.

1. Capacity upgrade:

The second generation temperature control pot has been changed from 1.0L to 600ml, which is more light and easy to operate.

2. Control panel upgrade:

Compared with the first generation of pots, the second generation continues to use the British imported Strix temperature control system, the temperature control function is still excellent, and the positive and negative temperature difference can be controlled within 1 degree Celsius.

The second generation panel adopts touch design, and adds timing function and one-button boiling function, which is integrated, simple and easy to take care of. In addition, the power cord is a split design, which is more convenient to disassemble and carry.

Add beep tone and operation reminder to make it safer to use. This function can be turned on or off independently, and the design is more user-friendly.

3. Design upgrade:

The heat-resistant handle, lid and bottom of the second-generation kettle are all treated with imitation wood grain, which is different from the first-generation temperature-controlled pot and adds a sense of literary elegance in appearance.

In addition, the second-generation handle adopts the swan tail design, which accords with ergonomics and makes the operation more comfortable.

Barista experience: soft water flow, novice can also be well controlled, generally speaking very easy to use, novice suitable for small mouth pot (inner diameter 6mm or above), professional gooseneck fine tip design, more effective control of water speed, moderate flow.

The outlet of the first generation kettle is relatively large, so it needs to be equipped with a throttle valve to control the flow. The second generation pot is upgraded to a thin mouth and long neck spout, with a relatively horizontal opening design, which can better control the flow speed, flow rate and direction, and is more friendly to coffee beginners.

Third generation temperature control pot

In 2016, the group will integrate and reallocate its resources. Bonavita is officially upgraded to Brewista Artisan.

Brew (boiling and extraction) + ista (Barista barista) = Brewista expert

As the third generation of the B family, there has been a transformative "big leap" in appearance. In addition to the classic pearl white, stainless steel, matte black and champagne gold, a variety of limited colors are constantly introduced to suit a variety of events and special events, such as dazzling colors in 2018, carmine, cyanotic blue, and Amsterdam limited Dutch oranges in the 2017 World Barista Competition. And now the mirror color.

The third generation pot will be upgraded again.

1. Upgrade the production process:

Compared with the relative singleness of the production process of the previous two generations, the Brewista temperature control kettle not only uses American ASTM standard food grade 304stainless steel wire drawing, but also tries a variety of other treatment processes, such as electrostatic spraying, vacuum titanium plating, high-gloss mirror polishing and so on.

2. Upgrade the spout angle again:

The second generation temperature control kettle has improved the effluent flow rate, while the third generation kettle has also adjusted the outlet angle of the spout.

The second-generation spout is a relatively upward design, showing a horizontal opening, while the Brewista spout has a larger arc, showing a relatively more vertical opening angle with a gooseneck design, making the water fall more accurately to the point you want, helping to extract more evenly.

Fourth generation temperature control pot

In order to meet more personalized needs of users, Brewista has made new changes in capacity, large spout and spout cutting, and launched the Brewista Artisan 1.0L fourth-generation temperature control pot in 2018.

Characteristics of four generations of pots

1. Upgrade the capacity from the third generation 600ml to 1.0L, which is suitable for more cooking environments.

2, the new design spout, the flow is more flexible, according to the actual needs of users can be free to switch between large and small flow.

The design of the spout of the third generation kettle shows a relatively vertical opening, which effectively controls the fine flow, while the fourth generation kettle tends to the direct rush of large water flow, which makes it flow, form rotation, and has strong controllability of water quantity and greater playability.

Whether you are a coffee lover or a practitioner, choose a hand-made pot, you are away from the professional, from the master has taken a big step ~ the hand pot can be said to be one of the necessary equipment for making coffee.
