Reddit reviews OXO BREW 9 Cup Coffee Maker

Can i be a hater for a second. You're better off asking for an independent grinder like this baratza and this drip machine if you're set on a top quality drip

the SCAA has a list of approved drip machines theyre going to be the best of the best for what you need. The biggest issues with most drip machines is evenness of the brew and temperature variability. Unfortunately im not aware of any good all in one solutions but i can whole hardheartedly recommend the baratza and the brewer can be open season

What about extending that budget by $30 and getting one of the ones on this list? I can personally vouch for Behmor's customer service, but not their brewer.

I have the OXO Barista brain 9 cup coffee maker. It is SCAA certified as well.

Not OP, we buy my father-in-law a new coffee maker every couple of years. We've spend as little as $50 and as much as a couple thousand. Dude loves is coffee as impossible to buy for. The new model this year was inexpensive compared to the others, it is the OXO BREW 9 Cup Coffee Maker.

Looking back, the super fancy espresso, coffee, whatever machines all suck after about 3 months and are impossible to keep clean, but this one has been a home run from the first. Having the money to blow on a really expensive coffee maker is one thing, but having to live with one that could break the bank and sucks is another.

One of the many coffee makers I own is a quality drip coffee maker. It’s like a V60 pour over built into a drip coffee maker. And you’ll stay in budget. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy!

The OXO On is a great coffee maker which I think would probably make coffee that both you and your wife would enjoy. It regulates the temperature of the water so you don't burn the coffee and it's very easy to use.

Is your goal French press specifically (as in, the coarse grind and long brew time that results in that characteristic slightly-grainy taste) - or is it more generally non-shitty coffee from an automatic machine?

The mechanics of French press make it hard to automate, so I'm not terribly surprised there's not a lot of robotic presses out there. If your goal is just good coffee without a long manual process, the best option I'm aware of are the automatic "pour-over" machines:

There's also "fully automated" espresso machines. A lot of them even include a grinder, so in theory you can press 1 button and get a latte or americano or whatever a few minutes later. They tend to be $$$ and use up a lot of counter space, though.

My personal setup is fairly manual - an electric kettle and an Aeropress. The electric kettle is way easier than a kettle on the stove - the one I linked has variable temp controls, so you can set it to heat up to 80 C and hold there. Doesn't need constant monitoring the way a teakettle on a burner does, and you'll get much better results with not-quite-boiling water. And the Aeropress makes fucking great coffee, without the PITA of cleaning a French press.

Say no more. Similar to the Bonavita, but with a timer, is this OXO model: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YEYKK8U/

The OXO brewers are both on sale right now.

• OXO On Barista Brain 9 Cup Coffee Maker
  
• OXO On Barista Brain 12 Cup Coffee Maker with Removable Kettle
  
  Both are SCAA approved.

OXO Barista Brain 9 Cup Coffee Maker - $100

Turns out that we prefer burned coffee made in a cheap coffee maker. This was way too high end for us.

SportDOG SDF-100A Invisible Fence System - $100

This is super easy to install yourself. 500 feet of wire and 75 flags are unused in the box. Lowe's & Home Depot sell wire and additional flags for cheap, should you need it. I installed this thing, tested it, and ended up rebuilding my fence before I bothered putting it on my dog to teach him how it works. If needed, you can pay me to install it or help you install it.

I could use a Men's XL hybrid bike, so let me know if you think you might have something to trade.

I don't really drink it for leisure or to slowly enjoy the taste. I do want a great tasting coffee but I also don't want to NOT like my coffee some day because I'm trying a bunch of types. I'm not big on surprises.

I just want to have good coffee and not worry. There's many more things to worry about.

I currently use this:

If you're buying expensive coffee and really enjoy the taste of good coffee, I'd suggest either making pour-over coffee or french press coffee at home. There are even very good automatic pour over coffee makers. The relatively new Oxo automatic pour-over has unseated the Bonavita in many minds: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YEYKK8U/ref=psdc_289745_t3_B00O9FO1HK

From the listed features:

• Microprocessor-controlled brew cycle replicates the pour-over method to produce 2-9 cups of SCAA-certified perfect coffee
  
  
• Water is heated and held at the perfect temperature for coffee (197.6-204.8 Degrees F)
  
  
• Rainmaker shower head evenly disperses water over coffee grounds for uniform saturation and full flavor extraction
  
  
• Intuitive LED interface features a backlit screen that displays the Coffee Maker status and freshness indicator
  
  
• A single dial allows you to program the number of cups and the 24-hour start timer
  
  It even first soaks the grounds, waits, and then pours the water over them. Pair this with a grinder and some good recently-roasted beans and the coffee you make at home will taste even better than what you'd buy at the coffee place and cost a fraction of what they charge.
  
  Personally, I'm generally fine with an older Cuisinart single-cup brewer with one of the better store-bought grounds (Chock Full o Nuts or similar).
