Overall Verdict
The Primula Burke pays a lot of attention to design detail. It’s a 1.6-quart glass jug with a neat plastic jacket available in a number of colors. The double lid design allows you to easily insert the filter, stir the contents, or just twist to pour. The nylon-type filter, however, is extremely fine and results in a very poor-quality brew.
Bean Envy is likewise a well-designed product but it pays due attention to good brewing fundamentals. Its stainless steel filter is permeable enough to produce a good brew, and the thin neck / wide base design of the carafe is favorable. The Primula is not a brewer we actually recommend, while Bean Envy is one of the top brewers we have tested.
