Love it

Xbloom sleek, but being single cup only makes it pretty limited. [OXO Brew 8-Cup](https://www.reddit.com/user/wajid123_/comments/1nh7387/best_coffee_makers_commonly_chosen_by_most_people/) is a better all rounder great for one mug or a full pot and SCA certified for consistent flavor. Paired with a burr grinder it easily beats most combo machines. Overall oxo brew offers better balance reliability and taste.

I am really happy with my Oxo 8 cup. It has two brew sizes and very little electronics. I have had it for a few years already and don't really see how it would fail. https://www.oxo.com/8-cup-coffee-maker.html Edit: I now see this won't fit your requirements... but the simplicity of this and similar makers is what makes them last a while.

I love my OXO Brew 8-cup coffee maker and OXO burr grinder. No issues 3 years in. 

Oxo 8 cup maker (or look at the 9 for timer features). I like the simplicity of the 8 cup, as well as the single cup brew option. Good customer service, too. I broke the basket once when I dropped it and when I contacted Oxo about buying a replacement, they mailed me one for free.

Second the Oxo, especially if you plan to make less than 20oz at times.

Yes. This unit gets the temperature and drip just right.

>price The one without the warming plate has an insulated vacuum carafe instead of a glass one, and that's what you're paying extra for. The warming plate version has a cheaper glass carafe. The vacuum ones will keep it hot for a while even if they're not in the machine (so you can brew it and take the whole pot to another room), and won't make your coffee taste burnt after a while like hot plates often do. Downside is being hand wash only. >Pods It's saying that it has to ability to brew a single cup, something not always possible on this type of machine, by using a smaller filter holder (included) instead of a k-cup or whatnot. Both machines appear to come with the accessory if I'm reading the description right, so you can just ignore it as a deciding factor between the two.

My wife and I used to make pourovers every day before we had kids, but for the last few years, we've been trying to simplify. We switched to a machine. I wanted one that could do a good job making 1-2 cups of coffee and be able to brew a big pot whenever we wanted. We chose the OXO 8-cup coffee maker. [https://www.oxo.com/8-cup-coffee-maker.html](https://www.oxo.com/8-cup-coffee-maker.html) It has an insert that uses a Kalita 185 filter, and I find that this works great for 20g of coffee (one cup, ground on our Fellow Ode Gen 2 at about 4) or 40g of coffee (two cups, ground on the Fellow Ode Gen 2 at about 7). I like that it has a bloom phase, too, even if it's not adjustable. We mostly use the machine to make 1-2 cups. To keep it easy to clean, I have made the following modifications: 1. Contrary to what the instructions state, I completely removed the big filter holder and only use the Kalita 185 filter holder by itself. It's a little wobbly, but it prevents you from either having to clean the big holder or from developing off-flavors from a poorly-cleaned big filter holder. 2. I brew into an old glass French press carafe when making 1-2 cups of coffee. I only use the OXO's included stainless steel carafe to brew an entire 1L+ batch. Honestly, if I had a bigger French press, I would never bother with the stainless steel carafe--I find it next to impossible to keep stainless steel from smelling like stale coffee, and the carafe design makes it hard to get the last 50 mL of coffee out. Our French press comes out sparkling clean from the dishwasher. We also use Urnex Tabz every few months.

The water distribution is just okay, so I do a quick stir with a small spoon after two minutes. I wish that I didn't have to do this, but it's just making the best of the machine we already have. I'm usually in the kitchen, so it's not a big deal to me, but it does mean setting another timer in the morning. 4. James taught me to stir my coffee with a clean spoon before pouring, so I do that, too. Good luck! Let me know if you find something that works better for you--I'm interested!

Any of the SCA certified machines will make good coffee, after that it’s just a matter of choosing one with the build and features you want. I went with the OXO Brew 8-cup because the single serve insert for the basket got good reviews, and I’m pretty happy with it.
