OXO BREW 9-Cup Coffee Maker - Enjoy a Delicious Cup of Joe Every Morning

Joann M.: I am very impressed with this coffee maker!
I am a very fussy coffee drinker. I searched for some time for a coffee maker that is easy to operate and makes a good cup of coffee. This coffee maker meets and exceeds my expectations on both counts. We have had it for a couple of months now and it still works great and continues to make great coffee! I highly recommend it!

Italian herb: I have been using a Farberware Perculator for over thirty years, and it made a decent cup of coffee. As with many other appliances, the design of the new farberware percs is similiar to older ones, but there have been some disappointing changes, and I no longer trust their quality.
I am not a coffee aficionado but I do appreciate a good tasting cup of coffee and look forward to my coffee in the morning.
My current farberware perc is over 20 years old and on its last leg, so in a fevered pitch, I began researching coffee makers.
My priorities were first and foremost, 1. a good tasting cup of coffee, 2. coffee that is hot, 3. ease of use, and 4. very little plastic on the housing.
I looked and compared all the high end models, and some not so high end models.
Technovorm was tempting, but there seemed to be so many parts to detach and clean. The price was way past what I wanted to spend, and the job of taking it apart and putting it back together, was not the way I wanted to spend my mornings. Bonavita, had so many choices that I lost patience comparing all the sizes and shapes, and there were many spillage and pouring complaints in the...

Pascal Laprade: This coffee maker makes really good coffee. I have been using the OXO for about three months, now, and the coffee it makes is consistently good.

Of course, being certified by the Specialty Coffee Association, you would already expect that the OXO 8 cup Coffee Maker make good coffee.

For me, this was a big step up from my previously, second-hand coffee makers. I already had a Burr grinder, so the coffee maker was all I needed to get to a great coffee experience. I use a scale to measure the amount of coffee I put in the basket, as well as the water quantity, and the result is really, really good. Compared to these previous machines, the coffee is sweeter and richer, and I found it was easier for me to distinguish between coffee from different origins, as the specificities of each are just highlighted by the OXO.

It's also a beautiful machine, the visual balance is well thought, the black finish is quite nice, and I really like to see the water being pumped in the middle of the water compartment.

I found it brews my coffee quick enough. I like the dial as a means of control, more than the traditional buttons. The LEDs just add a touch of...

3H Hutch: The coffee maker arrived as promised in two days in perfect condition. We have only had it for 2 days but have made 2 full batches of morning coffee and 2, 4 cup batches of evening decaf coffee and the coffee maker worked as described. It is very simple to set up and use. The coffee in each case was one we had been using for many months in our old coffee maker but the flavour was noticeably better using the Oxo coffee maker. The full batches stayed hot until gone but the smaller batches of decaf were not quite as hot but still excellent. Next time I will preheat the carafe for small batches. The other thing we noticed is that while the coffee maker was done pumping the water and starting tracking the time since the coffee was made, a large amount of water remained in the filter so we had to wait several more minutes before pouring the coffee. This was especially noticeable with the decaf coffee, but that is always the case with decaf.

Shopper: Purchased on sale for $200 (regular price at the time was $300). Yes, it makes good coffee at least in the beginning. But if you're willing to spend around this price point have a look at some of the other brands out there.

I've been scrupulous about constantly cleaning and descaling this unit since it arrived in October. There are a few things that have come up since I bought this that I wish I'd known about before investing this kind of money in a coffee maker.

1-The brew temperature will slowly start to to go down. When first purchased the first cups right after brewing were scalding hot. Over a few months I've had pots that were only warm. It seems to vary now, I'll get 3-4 days of hot, then out of nowhere a pot comes out warm. This alone makes it two stars at best. My old $35 drip machine never had this issue. Yes I do preheat the carafe every time.

2-The pump grinds and shudders when I start the brew cycle, which I assume means parts are already starting to fail.

3-The smell - silicone? - from the water container does not go away. Honestly, this smells like skunk, I kid you not. You can wash the bridge (I did) but it won't help....

mtspace: I have owned two Capresso machines for a total of six years and I have owned two Bonavita machines for another six years. I find this machine to be better than either. At their best I would say that all three coffee makers are capable of making very good coffee, and I would be hard pressed to support the claim that the coffee made in this machine is consistently better than the best coffee from either of the previous brands. That said, it is very good. At Starbucks or at good restaurants I rarely find coffee that I enjoy so much. I don't seek out coffee esoterica and I don't consider myself a coffee snob; but I do buy good beans and I grind them for each use.

If the coffee made in this machine is not measureably better, why would one spring for the extra money for the OXO machine instead of the Bonavita or the Capresso?

Before we answer that question, we must explain why the thermal caraffe. The answer is that burners that keep uninsulated caraffes warm invariably burn coffee and they do not keep out air. The combination of oxygen and excess heat too quickly turn the tasty brew from beverage to burnt battery acid. Keep excess heat and air...
