Beautiful Machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As one who was very attached to my old coffee maker, I was not really prepared to fall in love with a new one. But that is exactly what I did with this Oxo. It's a truly gorgeous thing, with a clear water chamber that bubbles up the center giving you a show while it brews. The entire machine is sleek and modern and although it is a bit tall, it doesn't really take up any more space than my old one.
The design is one intended to get the very best out of your coffee with an exact temperature control and a "shower" head inside that first blooms the coffee and then brews in short cycles for maximum extraction. It used a cone filter which I understand actually gives a better extraction of the grinds. The carafe is stainless steel and insulated so there is no warming plate to keep reheating (and ultimately burning) your coffee. One of the neat little things about the machine is that it begins a viewable count UP when the coffee is ready and it counts for a full hour so you know exactly how long it has been sitting in the carafe, a nice feature!
So why didn't I give it a 5? There are only a few things that dropped the rating for me. One is that there is no notification sound when the brew cycle is complete, something I am used to with my old machine and one I would prefer for this one. It doesn't brew a large amount of coffee. It says "9 cups" but that is an old fashioned 6 ounce cup size, something most of us left behind long ago. For our 10-14 oz cups, it's more like 4 1/2 cups after brewing, which is great when it is just the 2 of us but not so much with others around. I would prefer a "12 cup" but I guess that's a different machine.
Finally...the one size fits all single control dial. I know I will get used to it but I don't care much for it. It really enhances the appearance of this coffee maker but for folks used to a switch or two, it is slightly annoying. Everything is done by dialing it in. The dial lights up to a soft blue color and while beautiful, I would prefer my simple switches. In my humble opinion, one should not have to read a manual to learn how to use a coffee maker.
Overall, it is a great coffee maker and I highly recommend it. While looks are much less important to me than the quality of the coffee, I really love its appearance. I highly recommend it.

Easy To Use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The OXO 9 Cup Coffee Maker is really nice! The unit is attractive, it’s easily assembled and prepped, and it makes a great cup of coffee. This coffee maker is really easy and fast to set up. The instructions are easy to follow, and the coffee maker is very user friendly. I love that this coffee maker comes with a wake-up timer. It’s nice to be able to program when you want your morning coffee. The coffee maker does need to be de-scaled every so often to maintain it. My biggest complaint would be that it stinks like plastic. It otherwise is easy to use. It works great, it makes a good cup of coffee and keeps my coffee hot. I would recommend it.

Not so Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the design of this coffee maker. It’s sleek, attractive and small enough that it doesn’t take up a huge amount of counter space. I love the stainless steel carafe too. My cons are; it leaks and the coffee tastes bitter even after many many cycles of cleaning it and running pure filtered water through it. Overall I don’t think I’ll be using this as a main coffee maker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Living up to high expectations for Oxo products!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oxo continues to put out new products that make your life easier! I found it easy to set-up and use which is always an immediate plus.
I especially like the carafe - it keeps the coffee warm longer than expected which is nice for us since we don't go through it quickly on the weekends and there's less waste. It also has a clean and classic look, which makes bringing to the table when entertaining nice.
I like that it matches some of my other Oxo products, including the conical burr coffee grinder. As it relates to size, I'm not used to the width, since in the past I've always had coffee makers that tend to be more long than wide, but it's not a bad change - just a little different on the countertop.
Pros:
-Carafe keeps things warm
-Self timer
-Can choose the number of cups you want
-Carafe holds a large amount which is great for entertaining
-Carafe keeps things warm
-Self timer
-Can choose the number of cups you want
-Carafe holds a large amount which is great for entertaining
Cons:
-Can be a little messy if you're not careful
-A bit hard to get really clean since the water reservoir doesn't detach
-I do wish there was an option to use a travel carafe (instead of using the big one and having more dishes) since that's our go to in the work day mornings

We'e only had it for a little while so I can't speak to how it holds up in the long run after multiple uses, but so far no immediate complaints or concerns!

super coffee maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about a month ago and have been using it quite often. Coffee aside the stainless steel and glass body unit looks quite sophisticated and brings a great look on the kitchen counter. This coffee maker is really easy to use with its intuitive single dial button and easy refill water tank. The special stainless steel flask also keeps the coffee warm for a long time! Use your choice of coffee grounds and say hello to great coffee drinking experience!

Great coffee maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good! I have used this coffee maker the last three mornings. I've only used the 2-4 cup setting so far but have made both 2, 3 and 4 cups and the coffee tastes consistently good. It's made some not so great coffee beans actually taste pretty decent; will look forward to what it can do to "gourmet" beans. The timer is so easy to use, all the parts are easy to clean. I love that it doesn't have a heating element. This product worked amazing. I am hoping the product last very long, because it is pricey.

Amazingly user friendly coffee machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker exceeded my expectations having utilized a keurig for so long. My coffee brewed rather quickly with no grinds, burn, or strange after taste like I've experienced from other filtered brewers. Was able to successfully brew anywhere between a full pot to just one or 2 at any level. Each time providing consistency great taste and heat. Set up was swift, no issues with leakage or waiting to heat up and take valuable morning time in my routine. Highly recommended.
