OXO 8 Cup Coffee Maker

I purchased this after reading that America's Test Kitchen recommended it. I was suprised at just how much of a difference it makes. We previously used a Kuerig and the Oxo 8 Cup Brewer puts the Kuerig to shame. This is an SCA (speciality coffee association) certified maker and for good reason. If one of the favorite parts of your day is that cup of coffee in the morning, this maker is well worth the money. Other notes- it doesn't have an auto brew but I was surprised that it brews a full 8 cups pretty quickly. I'm learning to appreicate it's simplicity. It's also very easy to clean.

This is the second time I've purchased this coffee maker! (The first one I had lasted 10 years, and then I flooded the electronics when I tried cleaning the machine, so that was my bad!). The coffee comes out excellent and it's such a great price for the quality of machine and coffee you get from it. My only complaint is that this second time around, I noticed the carafe has changed slightly, and so when I pour my coffee into my cup, it always leaks out of the carafe, which never happened which my old carafe. I still have the old carafe, and the spout shape/size has definitely changed slightly, as well as maybe how far the lid closes. I still love the machine, but it is really annoying to deal with a litlle dripping.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the simplicity, no clock, no timer! After owning the 9 cup cone filter the basket filter just doesn't brew quite the same cup of coffee. Oxo made good on the 9 cup that suffered some kind of pump failure and so our exchange was for the 8 cup. Everything is good with the new one just not quite the same as the 9.

Great coffee pot that brews 8 cups quickly. Container keeps the coffee hot for many house. Wish it would brew the coffee a bit hotter! Easy to clean.

The carafe has issues keeping coffee warm and it goes room temp after like 30 minutes. After about a year it’s stopped sealing and coffee gets all over my counter. I really wanted to love this but sadly I had to replace it.

Like the unit and its features. Just one issue. I cannot find how to remove the rainmaker showerhead. It just will not permit a move upward as described on the web. I don't want to force it. Does it need a light tap upward with a tool or small hammer?

Optimized by being paired with the Oxo burr coffee grinder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This replaced my 4 cup machine. Makes a very good cup of coffee. Nice to be able to brew more cups.

I like the simplicity and size of this coffee maker. Wish the brewed coffee was hotter. I’m adjusting to the amount of coffee it makes. I may have needed to get the 9 or 12 cup but the height of the machine was a factor to fit easily under the cabinet.

We wanted to get away from the single cup coffeemakers that we’d been using for the past 15 years (“time is an SOB” ~ Oscar Martinez - The Office). After wasting money on a Bunn that didn’t live up to the quality of its predecessors, a KitchenAid that overflowed with normal use, and a Keurig again that frustratingly clogged; we landed on the 8-cup OXO with the single brew option and thermal carafe. Brewing that first morning coffee should not be a frustrating disappointment. The first cup is the star and the process should fade quietly to the background as the flawless, supporting player. With the OXO 8-Cup: the process is simple, the brewing is actually kind of cool to watch, it is quick, and the coffee is just as I’d hoped (you know the content sigh after the first sip? It continues with every sip). I wish I would have gotten it a long time ago and not listened to the nay-sayers who said an 8-cup wasn’t enough—because an 8-cup “…is just right” ( ~ Goldilocks of 3 bear fame).
