The most beautiful coffee maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this coffee maker for 3 weeks now and it's grown on me. I tested the machine in 4 stages:
1. First, I hand-washed all the removable parts with water to get rid of any remaining factory residue. I made my first batch of coffee after running the water reservoir at "MAX" as per the instructions. I tasted an unpleasant plastic smell in the coffee.
2. For the next few days, I hand-washed all the removable parts with soapy water including the shower head, brew basket, carafe and the mixing tube, which had a particularly strong plastic smell. I let the mixing tube sit in the soapy water for a few hours. I rinsed them with hot water and air dried them all completely. I still experienced the plastic smell. I continued to wash and air-dry the parts prior to every brew, believing that the unpleasant odor would dissipate with each use. I also decided not to use the mixing tube anymore after its unpleasant odor persisted.
3. At week 3, I noticed the plastic smell has decreased significantly. The unpleasantness sharply decreased after I stopped using the brown coffee filters included with the product and instead started using oxygen cleansed white paper filters. At this point, I am confident to serve a group of people some cups of coffee from OXO 9-Cup Coffee Maker.
4. Comparison: Following the use of the new filter paper and the removal of the mixing tube from the carafe, I made some cups of coffee from OXO 9-Cup Coffee Maker and compared them with coffee brewed from a ceramic dripping brewer. Conditions: same ceramic burr hand grinder, same single origin beans, same water source and water temperature. I put the labels at the bottom of the cups, mixed up the cup positions and then tasted them. I neutralized my palate by sipping the cool water before sipping each of the coffee. Results:
* The color of the coffee from OXO was darker then my ceramic dripping brewer. (See photos: I switched places of the cups to make sure the light angles will not affect the shades of the coffee)
* The taste (of both) was nice and clean.
* I can still distinguish the minor plastic smell that came from OXO Coffee Maker

CONCLUSION:
Such a unique design! This is the most beautiful coffee maker I’ve seen. I love the single dial with LED backlit screen and the shiny carafe. The plastic smell created from the mixing tube remains the only concern, however it went away after a few weeks, in my case, I stopped using it. I would recommend this product for both convenience sake and its great output.

Great tasting coffee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this coffee maker for over a month. I love that it makes up to 9 cups of coffee. I love that it has the digital timer and can alternate between 2-4 cups or 5-9 cups. The design is beautiful. It’s a very beautiful coffee maker. I dislike that it doesn’t always make 2-4 cups but instead 5-9 cups when instructed to do so.. I also dislike that the coffee doesn’t stay hot or warm. But overall this coffee maker is a hit in my household it makes brews great tasting coffee. I practically use this thing every single day.

Looks Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the design and the lovely sleek modern looking appeal that this coffee maker gives my kitchen. It is so easy to use with a good working timer so I have a cup of coffee when I awake in the morning. I really enjoy that I can have a cup of coffee without the grounds in my drink most likely due to the cone rain maker design and technology. The only thing that would be bad about this coffee maker is the size, it's not small and would be hard to place or store in a small kitchen others it's very well made, solid , strong quite durable .

Smooth and delicious!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been brewing my coffee with my OXO coffee maker for about a month now and i could not be any more pleased with how well my coffee tastes. Every carafe is so smooth and delicious. The rain maker feature evenly distributes water over the grounds for precision and optimal brewing and the internal mixing tube guarantees every cup is fresh and tasty!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The OXO 9 cup coffee Maker is a life saver! My coffee stays hot and fresh longer. I can make coffee for just myself, or other people. Which is great for gatherings and such. It is easy to operate and clean. You can program it to making your coffee so when you wake up it is already made. The. OXO coffee maker is a must-have!

Great features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the OXO coffee maker a few weeks ago, and so far I love it! It arrived just in time for Thanksgiving when I was hosting an additional 6 people in my house, so it got plenty of use. Easy to setup and understand, I also read through some of the additional features and am very pleased overall. I appreciate the automated reminders to rescale the machine every 90 days, that is not something I remember to do on my own. My only wish for this pot is that the carafe had a slightly wider mouth for cleaning. I’m the kind of person who likes to get in and scrub, and my hand is just not that petite. Maybe I’ll have my 6 year old give it a go.

Good, consistent cups of coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a high quality drip coffee maker that produces consistent cups at an appropriate temperature. Does its coffee taste as good as the most carefully crafted pour-over? No, not in my opinion. But does it taste better than what comes out of your standard issue coffee maker? Absolutely.
The design is striking, but not obtrusive. The machine is a bit larger and taller than I would have guessed from looking at photos. It fits under my cabinets, but not while the top is open. However the elements of the machine all fit together nicely and form a coherent picture.
The only downside is that because the carafe isn't clear, sometimes I forget to empty it of old coffee before making a new batch. If you like to make a large pot of coffee and then drink it over several hours, then this isn't the maker for you. The insulated carafe will keep it warm enough for an hour or so, but that's it. A maker with a heated plate would keep it hot for longer. But who wants 3-hour old coffee?
