OXO - 12-Cup Coffee Maker with Podless Single-Serve Function

Oxo 12 cup with the stainless carafe. Great buy

Oxo Barista Brain. I bought mine second hand 5 years ago and is awesome. I love the reminder to descale it every so often. That's a feature I wish all coffee makers had.

I like my OXO 12 cup. It preheats the water in a glass tank so I’d assume temp it is pretty consistent (haven’t tested it). Coffee it brews is great IMO. Plus, the basket can be changed out for a Mellita #2 for smaller portions. Only gripes with it are a carafe that can’t quite be emptied and that it uses filters that are hard to replace without buying the expensive OXO brand filters (I use Bunn commercial filters and cut them down to size).

We have an OXO drip coffee maker with a thermos. We did need to drill the crosshatch in the removable top as grounds were getting stuck...I didn't want a hot base for the coffee to bake/fire hazard. And no glass coffee pot! We also have: 2 French press Pour over Small stove top Sugar (check your regulations) We provide a OXO grinder and local, fair trade beans.

Oxo can do a pot or 1 cup and it’s good. It has an insert that goes into it to put coffee for just a cup.

I have an OXO which makes really good coffee and its simple. I bought the one that can also do a single cup which is what I use most of the time.

I have been very pleased with my KitchenAid drip coffee maker the past two years. Just prior I tried Cuisinart, OXO, and Braun and was not happy with the coffee flavor and other features like size/configuration. The KA brew is very tasty imo and since it is programmable, I come downstairs every morning to the smell of a fresh pot. It has stainless trim and a sleek glass carafe so it looks nice on the counter as well.

It makes really weak coffee. I had one for 5 years and switched to the OXO (suggested right below this). I was shocked at the quality difference.

Pour Overs are as complicated as you want to make it to be. I dont really do anything that complicated and once I find a technique/recipe that I like, I just stick to it. If you don't count the time that it takes for the water to heat up, it only takes a few minutes to make a cup. I personally enjoy the process and feel like it's a good 5 min break to brew the coffee. I have a good oxo machine for drip coffee but I rarely use it because I only drink 1 small cup of coffee a day. I would say maybe start with pour overs to see how you like it first? Both method basically require a lot of the same gear, like you'll need a scale/grinder for both. The only difference is that you need a electric gooseneck kettle + pour over device (they're not really expensive, v60 switch is maybe $35) vs a drip machine. In the worst case scenario, where you hate the pourover process, the electric kettle is still a great tool to have in the kitchen (if you don't currently have one). The electric kettle has become one of my most used tool in the kitchen because it boils water so much faster than the stove. I wish I got one sooner lol.

I have the OXO that’s going on 10 years of near-daily use and after all that time it’s finally starting to show its age. The coffee in the carafe isn’t as hot as it should be and the red “clean me” light comes on way more frequently. I’ve been looking at the Mocca Master as a potential replacement or, honestly, just another OXO. Anyone who’s owned both have any thoughts? I wfh and tend to drink a pot over several hours in the morning so the one with the heated glass pot is tempting me. But I’ve had such bad luck in the past with warming plates overheating the brewed coffee.

rockin the oxo for about 5 years, got it for $60 open box at a swap meet

I got an Oxo and I’m disappointed. It’s fiddly (too many little parts, including a rubber tube inside the carafe) and cranky. Every couple months it just refuses to brew coffee until it has been descaled 3-4 times, a process that takes a couple hours. And I have soft water.

Anything certified by the SCA is going to make a great cup of coffee. Lots of folks swear by the Moccamaster, I have an OXO because it was like half the price, but I doubt you can go wrong with anything on this list. https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer

I have one from Oxo that's been going strong for years now.

I’ve got the OXO which I use when guest are here (day in and out I mostly brew espresso or pour overs.) it makes a very good cup of coffee, on par with the Moccamaster. It is louder and doesn’t feel like it will last 20years like most Moccamasters do. For occasional use or tighter budget it’s a really good option. Sometimes you just need a big drop for ease of use.

I had an oxo for ages—still have it, actually, it’s not broken but someone gave me a moccamaster. Both make very good coffee, but the moccamaster has a slight edge. It isn’t programmable though.

Unpopular opinion. No. I made a post a few days ago. You can read up on it. The unit feels cheap. Compared to my oxo which cost 50% less, it is considerably cheaper plastics. As for the brew. No matter what I do, the coffee is weak and under extracted. I'm currently waiting for different filters. I suspect the moccamaster filters are too thick, and catch too many oils / flavor compounds. As someone who really wanted to love the moccamaster, I can only recommend it for style and the absolutely amazing thermal carafe it comes with. As for actual brewing and material quality, it is second tier.

I’ve had both the oxo and the moccamaster and would lean towards the moccamaster. It’s literally add water, add beans, and flip the switch. The cleaning is a little easier on MM and it’s got good support for replacement parts if you ever need them. I had a minor issue and they shipped me a new part next day. You can’t go wrong with the oxo either, but I prefer the MM, especially from a BIFL perspective. Alternatively go for the Mr. Coffee base model and just replace it when the time comes. They can last for decades too.

We have the oxo and I'll second that it makes. A great cup of coffee

My OXO is working very good still, I put in a lot of research when buying one. Moccamaster if your budget is higher

Same situation, no time for fancy coffee, but want the best drip I could get. I have an Oxo drip, with their burr grinder. Best drip coffee I've had. I looked at the Moccamaster, but this seemed fine.

I loved my Oxo. Great machine, super easy, one button great cup. Aiden there’s so much you can do. I can control the temperature and duration of the bloom, temp & the rate of water pulses into the bed of coffee throughout the brew. I can do an 8 hour cold brew. Aiden will use the exact amount of water you set and will tell you how much coffee to add based on your selected profile, the type of coffee or exact batch from specific brand. It’s the closest cup to pour over I’ve had from a machine.

I had an OXO that lasted about 12 years. Would have lasted longer if I descaled it more often. Now on a Moccamaster. I think the Moccamaster has a better build and the aluminum carafe is glass lined. But if you are buying regular coffee both of these are overkill.

Found a moccamaster for free on my towns buy nothing FB page. Needed a new filter basket and lid for the water tank as they were both missing. Both easily grabbed from Amazon for $15-20 each. Looks and works like new. Great coffee. The Oxo also get hot enough, and has great customer service for lot of replacement parts.

Only get the moccamaster if your mom buys quality coffee. If she’s a Maxwell house, Folgers or Seattles Best gal, then stick to the OXO. Moccamaster does the best job extracting the flavor from beans. But if the beans are shitty, that’s not actually ideal.

I hate my oxo

Oxo has been really good to me, a little more affordable than the moccamaster
