This coffee maker is awesome. It makes coffee very quickly and it's great tasting coffee. We don't have to use as much coffee as we did with our previous machine. It really seems to do a good job of saturating/steeping the grounds so you get the full taste. It's also quiet and I love that you can adjust the cups to make a smaller pot. There's no heating plate so if you're someone who needs super hot coffee this probably isn't the machine for you as the coffee in the carafe doesn't stay super hot for long. I don't mind this at all but I know some people do.
My first unit lasted since 2016 and I’d never buy anything else. I do appreciate that they made the cover that goes over the coffee grounds slotted to help steam dissipate but otherwise kept the unit the same. PLEASE OXO don’t change a thing!!!
Solid coffee maker, easy to use and makes consistently good brewed coffee. The stainless stell carafe keeps the coffee warm for longer than your standard glass carafe, but not easy to clean. The dial is not intuitive and doesn't seem to have a warm function, which is a pretty big miss in my opinion. It has a pretty large footprint and takes up quite a bit of counter space for what it does. I also don't like that I can't remove the water container to clean it separately. It'll have to be descaled regularly.
Wanted to love it---sleek looking, good cup 'o joe, but the single button for everything operation and having to set/re-set brew ahead----too complicated and cumbersome/not intuitive. Recommend looking at one in a brick and mortar store before purchasing. Purchased the Cuisinart, also SCA certified.
Hands down makes the best coffee I’ve ever made from drip to pods to manual French press. Great when either a couple cups or a full pot of 9 cups. Also sold on using a stainless steel carafe to keep it hot over glass pot/ warmer. I just take the entire carafe to my desk so I can pour it into a ceramic coffee cup to drink from instead of an insulated mug. I now prefer a cup of coffee at home instead of the local barista.
