Kitchenaid Precision Press Coffee Maker

For $150 the KitchenAid Precision Press boasts a scale to accurately weigh coffee and water but for its high price we wish it could heat water, too.

The KitchenAid Precision Press comes equipped with a scale to weigh coffee grounds and hot water. The Precision Press also features a timer to track brew time and a stainless-steel carafe to retain heat longer than glass containers.

For $50 more than even premium steel French press coffee brews, the Kitchenaid Precision Press is expensive. If you're not fast enough, the Precision Press' scale times out and resets to zero. The coffee maker can't heat water on its own.

The $150 Kitchenaid Precision Press features a built-in scale to measure coffee grounds and water but its high price doesn't translate into extra convenience.
