This machine is a powerhouse that promises a gold-standard brew, certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). Whether you’re in need for a single cup or a full carafe, this coffee maker adapts to your needs. The single-serve brew basket is a huge advantage, ensuring that even the smallest brew is packed with flavor.
The BetterBrew precision control is a standout, tightly regulating water temperature and brew cycles. Not surprisingly, it is SCA Golden Cup certified, as each cup I brewed was full-bodied and rich without exception. The Rainmaker shower head is another innovative feature, evenly distributing water across the coffee grounds, the key to balanced and even extraction.
The double-wall, vacuum-insulated thermal carafe is a masterpiece. Not only will it keep your coffee hot for hours, but the pour-through, brew-through lid lets you pour a steaming cup without breaking stride. The removable well cover is also a nice feature, and will accommodate anything from your favorite espresso cup to a large travel mug.
Cleaning is generally the most miserable aspect of brewing coffee, but OXO Brew 8 Cup Coffee Maker makes it simple with its simple cleaning mode. It's also precisely the right size to fit beneath most cabinets, clearing up useful counter space. It also comes with 10 paper coffee filters and a coffee scoop.
Verdict: the OXO Brew 8 Cup Coffee Maker is a versatile, user-friendly machine that doesn’t just make coffee—it elevates your coffee experience. Whether you’re a casual drinker or a connoisseur, this coffee maker is sure to impress.
