OXO Brew 8-Cup

“the OXO 8 Cup could be the best coffee maker for your needs. Don't be fooled, though - a lack of bells and whistles doesn't mean you can't make fantastic coffee with this machine.”

“I just got the on you mention. It's taking a bit of experimentation to replicate the pour over. I'm still tinkering with it, but I'm quite hopeful. I've only made a few cups but they keep getting better.”

“machines sometimes overflows with grinds getting into top of kettle. any suggestions for filters that are taller. too bad OXO does not offer anything that fits on its website.”

“Just received the OXO 8 cup coffee maker today and it doesn't work at all! It won't brew. Guess I have to send it back.”

“If you brew mostly in the medium-light (or anything darker than that), yes, worth it. If you like true light roasts or ultralight, no, stick to pourover.”

“I’ve used it at the Moccamaster and honestly see no difference in taste. Highly recommend both. The OXO 8 Cup’s individual cup feature is a nice plus I miss.”

“With the Etsy dial and bellows I can clear residual grounds and successfully, repeatably hit my espresso recipe and also make tasty filter coffee (obviously not super high clarity, but good) in a batch brewer (OXO 8 cup).”

“If you grind freshly roasted coffee on demand and measure out the coffee and water to achieve the correct ratio, I think the quality you can achieve is very similar to the quality you'd get from manual pour over.”

“so I picked up an Oxo 8-cup on Black Friday. Why can’t I make a decent cup of coffee with it? I have tried both filters. I have played around with my ratios and my grind size (I grind before brewing). It’s been two weeks and I am drawn right back to the Clara”

“I have the Oxo 8-Cup and it’s awesome! Came with a smaller 4-cup attachment. Makes great coffee very consistently. It is definitely a flat-bottom brewer though. The 4-cup insert produces a cup more akin to a conical (i.e. brighter).”

“I really do like this brewer when using the 2-4 cup option, and it is acceptable after that using the normal basket. This part is infuriating though, because brewing into anything other than an unusually tall mug splashes everywhere.”

“I found the oxo 8 gave me bad tasting coffee—I like light light. Cinnamon. First crack is sometimes too much. Taste profile improved with a separate bloom, and with adding hot water to the tank from a kettle instead of having g the machine heat it. My Aiden does fine.”

“I cannot get the soapy taste out of the Carafe that came with the machine. Through process of elimination (brewing without a lid, brewing into a different container), I've determined it's not the machine or the lid of the carafe, but the carafe itself. I've tried soaking in vinegar, soaking in denture cleaner, rinsing it like crazy, and it still has a soapy”

“I have the Oxo 8 cup love it! Really like the flexibility to brew just enough for one Contigo to go cup or to do a whole pot”

“I had the same issue and I used the 2-4 button instead of the 5-8 cups and it wasn’t “sour”. I made 5 cups both times.”

“I had one and the water just never evenly distributed. I would open it up to find most of the water hit one specific place. I played with the thing for a while before just going fully into pour over. I never felt like I could get the carafe clean either, but that goes for any metal vessel I’ve put coffee into. It always tastes like astringent metal after abo”

“Have the OXO 8-cup and love it! Zero issues, insulated pot keeps coffee hot for a long time.”

“I bought an Oxo 8-cup. It was ok, but not exactly what I wanted. So, I order an Aiden.”

“The OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker is one of the most straightforward models we've ever tested, making it a top choice if you like your appliances to be basic and intuitive to operate. Despite its simple design, it makes a great cup of coffee, and we also love that it can brew both single servings and full carafes.”

“I had the Oxo for maybe 2 years. The single serve feature was nice and I did use it for convenience, but it did not compare to the V60s and Stagg X pourovers I would make most days. For that reason I mostly only pulled the Oxo out when I needed to brew a full pot when having guests over.”

“It’s quick, it’s convenient, my coffee tastes great, and it can brew into your mug as long as the mug isn’t weirdly tall. I’m not blown away by it. My aeropress definitely makes a stronger tasting cup, likely a byproduct of my aeropress ratio (13.5:1). But I like the Oxo 8 because it’s simple and works with no fuss.”

“I’ve had my OXO 8 cup coffee maker since January and have been really happy with it. I noticed recently that extra coffee is dripping down from the rear of the brew basket into my single cup and I don’t think it was doing this originally. It is slightly more messy due to this, but worse with a smaller cup.”

“I love my oxo 8 cup machine, which I use with the oxo burr grinder. It makes a great cup imo, but I don’t love the mug mode setting on it. I’ve crafted my own makeshift pour over setup using the single serve brew basket, the recommended kalita wave 185 filters, and the oxo glass carafe and make a pour over with smaller doses that way.”

“I absolutely love the OXO 8 cup, it excels when brewing with the Kalita Wave 185 filters and Kalita 1-4 cup filter insert. My brewed tastes nearly perfect like a nurtured pour over every time. The only meh is the pre-infusion doesn't hit every grind, but the time it waits between the pre-infusion and brew is good too. Grind and high quality filter are going”
