Super affordable
on September 9, 2026
Posted by: BonuK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine is super easy to use especially in the mornings before school it heats up really quickly. I adjust the coffee amount every time depending on my mood. It is little bit nosy tho. Other than that pretty good coffee machine that makes tasty coffee.

Nice HOT cup of coffee
on September 9, 2026
Posted by: MorganD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this coffee maker! Makes a nice hot cup of coffee! It has a sleek, sturdy design, multiple brew options, adjustable settings and a convenient keep warm feature. The glass carafe is great, and the removable parts are easy to clean. It’s it a little larger and heavier than a basic coffee maker, but overall it a great addition to my kitchen! Also like I stated before- makes a nice HOT cup of coffee but can also brew over ice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the optbrew pro! It is compact, complete and fits perfect on my counter without taking up too much space! Most of the removable parts are dishwasher safe! The coffee tastes so smooth and delicious! This is definitely one of the appliances every mom should have to make mornings a little easier and much more enjoyable!

OptiBrew Pro- The ExactBrew technology
on September 9, 2026
Posted by: SoniaN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun OptiBrew pro has made my daily coffee routine so much better. I love that I can enjoy drip coffee, iced coffee, cold brew or latte and cappuccino style drinks all from one machine. The Exactbrew technology delivers rich, full bodied flavor and the built in milk frother makes creamy drinks so easy. I genuinely enjoy my coffee even more now.’

Brewing sizing off. Decent cold brew
on September 8, 2026
Posted by: AmeliaS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker stands out for the ability to choose from sizes of drinks you’d like to make, everything from a carafe to 4oz small cup, that is meant to be almost like an espresso. I chose to put it through its paces with a single cup of hot coffee, followed by trying out the cold brew feature.
A few first impressions - when I first plugged it in I got an error, and then it flashed all its buttons on but nothing was reacting. Not a good first impression. It finally started working for the quick start, which was easy. I found the instruction manual to be not super ideal for English speakers, it called scoops of coffee “dose” which was confusing at first.
The cold brew feature is why I was excited. I frequently want a mid morning coffee to be cold in the summer. I would say it performed ok. The half carafe first brewed only about 1/5 of a carafe, when I tried again it then filled up the whole carafe. When I requested a 16oz cold brew and brewed directly into a 20oz yeti, it filled it to within 1” of the top. Cold brew also comes out like warm, so you’ll use a lot of ice and dilute to he coffee to get it actually cold, or you have to plan ahead and put the carafe in the fridge.
All in all, appreciate the flexibility of brewing size, but underwhelmed with the results.

Response from BraunBy Braun, September 10, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re glad you enjoyed the flexibility of choosing different brew sizes, from a small cup to a full carafe, and we appreciate you testing several of the available features.
We’re sorry your first experience wasn’t a smooth one. Seeing an error message and unresponsive controls right after plugging in the machine would be frustrating, and we understand how that could affect your overall impression. We also appreciate your feedback about the instruction manual. Coffee-making should feel straightforward, and clear terminology makes a difference.
We understand your disappointment with the Cold Brew feature as well. It sounds like the brew volume was inconsistent, and the final temperature didn’t meet your expectations. When you're looking for a refreshing cold coffee, needing extra ice or additional cooling time can take away from the convenience you were hoping for.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. Hearing both what customers like and where they feel let down helps us continue improving our products. We’re happy to hear the customizable brewing sizes stood out as a positive, and we appreciate you sharing your experience.

Braun optibrew pro looks fancy but is so easy to use!
on September 8, 2026
Posted by: KatlinL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The optibrew pro looks like it would be complicated but in reality it couldn’t have been easier to figure out. I really love the pedestal feature so that I can just make a single cup of coffee. It also has the ability to do cold brew! So many little features! The only downside I’ve noticed is that the water reservoir is super tall and skinny which makes cleaning it a little tricky unless you use a bottle brush. The machine is skinny but long which makes it take up less room on my counter. Overall, would recommend!

Ditch the pod for a slow drip full flavor cup of coffee
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: BrandyH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker has me remembering why drip brewed coffee is still superior. I switched to a keurig in 2020, for years I paid for over priced pods and bare minimum flavors. My family has spent more money weekly on coffee chain coffee than I would like to admit. Since we have started using this coffee maker we haven’t made one trip to a coffee chain. We are all able to make coffee that accommodates each of our tastes. Ditch the pod for a slow drip full flavor cup of coffee.

Optibrew is awesome
on September 7, 2026
Posted by: OliveU
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its a solid modern touchscreen coffee pot with frother, and i like it. The cord is a hideaway type and the controls were super easy. Cleaning is simple, just run a full coffee pot with purely water and let it do its thing. Feels real solid and the tank locks in place which is a plus and the price seems pretty competitive. It made a nice pot of verona dark roast and one thing i thought was really cool is you can actually do a coffee shot so its only around 4 ounces or so you can just get something quick and go and the coffee mug pullout tab is awesome hahaha. This thing has everything im very impressed.
