I have been looking at getting a batch brewer for home use for some time and never pulled the trigger on one due to price. The Breville has a fair amount of good reviews and provides more flexibility compared to the Technivorm Moccamaster.
It also appears other places (Retravision) are reducing the price down to $199 so I am not sure what is driving this.

These normally sell for around $400 so this is a great deal if you are into coffee.
Also don't forget cashback!
These things are excellent when paired with paper filters and freshly ground coffee. I had the old BCD600 before this and was a bit underwhelmed. This one produces excellent coffee and if you dial it in you can really squeeze the best out of a filter roast due to its blooming and temperature adjustability. If you’re not inclined to tinker with brew recipes then the FAST and STRONG settings will still do wonders. Auto start is brilliant - set and go and it’ll brew right in time for your morning tea break. 9/10 overall.
