OXO - 9-Cup Coffee Maker

Oxo 9 cup no question

If you want a little cheaper option, the Oxo 8 or 9 cup coffee makers are also SCA approved automated pourover styles and run around $200 instead of like $350.

Ok so I have some experience here. I've owned 2 different Bonavita, and Oxo 9 cup, Oxo 8 cup, Moccamaster KBGT, and finally a Fellow Aiden. If you are looking for the very best coffee maker for what you get in the cup as black coffee, then of those all that is hands down the Aiden. However, for all the technical wizardry it has, it is mostly plastic, so longevity is a definite unknown. Of the other ones, Oxo has the best warranty in practice, and Technivorm has the best warranty on paper. Technivorm does not warranty their carafes at all - if it breaks, you are out $80+ shipping to replace it. This is even if it breaks due to a manufacturing flaw or some other reason. Oxo on the other hand replaced my carafe for free on my Oxo 9 cup 3 times - over time it would lose the vacuum, and would get hot to the touch. The coffee maker was 6+ years old the last time - long out of warranty, but they still replaced the carafe. The Oxo 9 cup is the best all around of the coffee makers I had before the Aiden. While it is tall, it made excellent coffee, and was programmable if you wanted to use that. It requires no stirring of the coffee while it is brewing. I cannot say the same with the Technivorm. While the Moccamaster does make excellent coffee, it is more hands-on to get the best out of it because of their dumb design for the shower bar. Ground saturation is an issue - I usually stirred everything after about 1 minute of brewing. The bar also feels like it is just a bit too short - most of the water doesn't fall in the center but rather closer to the back. The Bonavita coffee makers work well, and are smaller. My old one died for no reason that I could determine after a few years. The ones made now though are technically a different company - that original company went bankrupt. The Oxo 8 cup was an absolute disaster - no idea how that thing got the praise that it does from some reviewers. It always had to be stirred or half the coffee would never even get wet. I hated it. Overall from a BIFL perspective, the TV Moccamaster is likely the top candidate. They do just work for a long time, usually. Make sure to buy it from an authorized retailer and keep your proof of purchase if you need warranty service. If you buy one with a thermal carafe - baby it. They changed from being all stainless and basically unbreakable to being glass lined a couple years ago. It may keep coffee hotter but the carafes are very delicate and prone to breaking.

The Aiden is my favorite coffee maker ever, and I have owned quite a few (Melitta Clarity, 2 Bonavita, Oxo 9 cup, Oxo 8 cup, and Technivorm KGBT). It excels at both single cup and batch brew. There is an issue with the flow meter getting clogged but Fellow is very good about supporting it and replacing the machine if this happens.

I got the 9-cup OXO machine. They were good about a warranty replacement, but the machine is always dripping/leaking and I would not recommend it to anyone.

OXO 8 cup brewer, If you want an easier single cup. OXO 9 cup if you want programming and timer.

I have the oxo 9 cup and the grinder and it’s been rock solid for 7+ years. Takes up a lot of space, but it’s worth it.

Used to own this one. Makes amazing coffee. Programmable option or use a smart plug. Save $ on machine, buy better beans! Support.local roasters. Get. Handmade ceramics to drink from.

Why were u downvoted? Got the 9 cup too. Kinda still working on dialing everything in exactly. I grind with a Baratzza encore and locally roasted beans. What ratios/grind sizes are you working with? The manual quantities work out to about 18:1 ratio.

Here to second the simplicity and durability for the OXO. I have the 9 cup and have had it for nearly 8 years. No issues in that time, just needed basic cleaning and semi annual descaling. Super simple, makes a great cup of coffee.

I have an oxo on 9 barista brain coffee maker that's probably about 10 years old. https://www.oxo.com/barista-brain-9-cup-coffee-maker.html (also now comes in black) it has a timer. yeah the beans sit overnight but that's a compromise I'm willing to make for hot coffee when I roll out of bed. it's been great. makes great coffee. and oxo has great customer service (they replaced a carafe I confessed to dropping after the warranty was up without asking any questions). it only in the last week has had a minor quirky issue with the control knob but it still works fine. so is it bifl? probably not quite. will it serve you well and have coffee ready in the morning. heck yeah brother.
