When working with smartphone app once the water and coffee are in the machine, you don’t need to be close to it in order to make it brew.
Behmor Connected follows in the footsteps of vaunted Brazen Plus, Behmor’s original brewer that was designed for people who like to have a full control over almost every aspect of brewing. The Connected Coffee Brewer does everything a Brazen does with one round glowing button replacing all rectangle buttons.

The Behmor Connected Brewer is a great coffee maker machine and you can control it with an app on your phone means, if you aren’t excited about controlling your coffeemaker through the smartphone, all you need to do is press the big round button on the front of the coffee maker and allow it go on autopilot.

An Excellent, Expensive Brewer with Surprisingly Useful Smarts
Pros – What we Like in Behmor Connected
The built-in Wi-Fi radio helps control the Coffee Brewer via the Behmor companion mobile application (Android and iOS).
The first benefit is easier operation through your phone’s bigger screen and the app’s cleaner menu interface.
The app has spartan UI refreshing to flip through.
After completing the brief setup process, your brewer (represented by coffee cup icon) will appear at the center of the app’s dashboard.
Tap to see its current status (brewing stage) or presents three options, “Brew,” “Buzz,” or “Craft.”
Each choice though offers a varying degree of control.
By clicking on each of them a wizard will walk you through making a pot of coffee.
The “Craft” option gives you command over all the brewer’s parameters.
We really like what’s tucked under the “Buzz” menu showing Behmor-approved recipes to match specific coffee beans and roasts.
Once brewing commenced the coffee maker’s LED and screen show the phone app shone in matching hues; orange for water heating, blue for active brewing, and pulsing green when the cycle had completed.
The app also sends a push alert when it’s time to enjoy your coffee.
Cons – What we Don’t Like In Behmor Connected
- It provided no feedback for how much time remained in the brewing process.
- There’s no way to see the current water temperature within the reservoir
- No option to set the brewer to make a pot of coffee at a certain time.
- Behmor says it expects to bring this feature online soon.
Performance & Taste
Coffee made with the Behmor Connected Brewer is very good and even surpasses other competing coffee makers in flavor and smoothness.
If you like smooth, but weak coffee uses the “Brew” wizard and select “Packaged” beans of the medium roast level. The brewer automatically sets the brew temp to a low 195° Fahrenheit.
For smooth coffee with a touch of bitterness and deeper complex flavor use the “Craft” setting at a temperature of 204 degrees (F) with a 15-second presoak.
Reflectometer readings of TDS (total dissolved solids) percentage of 1.36 percent translate to an admirable extraction percentage of 21.6 percent.
Behmor has improved its thermal carafe design and steel container keeps the content hot for a full 4 hours.
Conclusions
The smart coffee makes we’ve tested till now have either turned out bad-tasting coffee or were capable, but astonishingly expensive.
The Behmor Connected Coffee Brewer is the first app-controlled coffee maker that we’re actually tempted to recommend.
Not only does the machine make superbly tasty coffee, but the connected app also makes it easy to tweak the various settings that make that great coffee possible.
The software is a little rough around the edges. Also, scheduling would be very helpful and desired feature to add to this model. The software can always be updated, so the Connected Coffee Brewer could always improve.
