What Is The Difference Between BV1500TS vs. BV1500TD?

Bonavita BV1500TD 5-Cup Carafe Coffee Brewer

There’s one major difference between the TS and TD models, which not only makes a difference between these two, but also other Bonavita brewers.

The BV1500TD has a digital display with programmable auto-start timer. This isn’t available in the BV1500TS or BV1800 and BV1900.

Who Should Buy the Bonavita BV1500?

The BV1500 was created as an alternative to the larger 8-cup models, the BV1800 and BV1900. As the Bonavita requires you to brew a full carafe each time, if you’re a single user, or  prefer to brew a small batch at a time, the 5-cup BV1500 is the best choice for you. Although labeled as 5-cup, in reality, as most of us use large cups, a full carafe would provide you with 2 to 3 full size mugs.

Does Bonavita Make a 10-cup or 12-cup Coffee Maker?

No, as of now (2016) it doesn’t. The largest capacity is 8-cups and it’s available in the BV1800 and BV1900 models.
