OXO Brew Single Serve Pour-Over Coffee Maker

Makes great tasting coffee. I’ve used pour overs for years but never had it so good. It’s easy to use. Very easy to clean. And keep clean. But the main reason to get this little device is the taste of the coffee. It really makes a good cup. I love that you can get every single part of your coffee process completely clean after each use, unlike a traditional coffee maker. I have been reaching for this as my first cup o’ the day instead of my fancy/expensive/epic/new espresso machine. It just makes for a much more mellow morning, flipping on the kettle and grabbing a filter. No banging/washing things or fussing. Just mellow music and this little guy and before you know it, a cup of warm fresh coffee. The process is peaceful and pleasant but wouldn’t be worth a dime if it didn’t actually make great coffee. But it does. Every time I take that first sip I look at my mug and say to myself “well… that’s a really good cup of coffee.” Everyone close to me will be getting one for Xmas 🎄😂🙌 Read more

Bought this to replace my Stanley pour over. It works a lot better imo. No more tapping the pour over in the garbage and having used coffee grinds everywhere and still needing to rinse out some in the sink. The filters keep the grinds in one place and out of my coffee another plus over the Stanley. If you are looking to get a great single serving of fresh ground coffee look no further. It makes up to 12 ounces of fresh hot coffee in about 3 minutes. Cleaning is a breeze and no more expensive k cups that just don’t taste like real brewed coffee imo. The design is clean and easy to use with clear markings on the drip bowl. It sits perfectly on top of my 14 oz yeti rambler. Read more

Love it. I had bought and used a standard pour-over coffee maker but didn't like the process of standing there slowly dripping the water over the grounds for several minutes. This solves that. I'll toss the water in then go and make breakfast while it's 'brewing'. My process: measure the desired amount of water in a glass measuring cup, heat it in the microwave to boiling, then pour it in. I.e. I don't use the graduations on the side of the OXO reservoir. I know exactly how many seconds to heat the water in the microwave, so, I have the whole thing down to a 'science' now. Quick, easy, effective. A few more items: 1. Clean up is very easy: toss the filter and grounds in the trash, wash it fast and easy with bottle brush, done. The clear reservoir only holds purified water so that doesn't need to be washed. 2. I use much less coffee grounds than what is recommended and it tastes great to me: 1 rounded tablespoon for 9oz of water. 3. Initially I used it with my big 16oz mug. That works but the outside diameter of the cup (4-1/8") is a little too large and therefore it doesn't sit as securely as it can. Keep it smaller than 3-7/8" for a good fit. Read more

this is what I have been looking for. the issue with pour overs is getting a consistent pour of the water over the grounds. this takes the the guess work and tedium out of pouring the water over the grounds. If you know, you know..... this releases the water onto the grounds in a consistent rate (though I suspect it might be a little faster at the beginning due to the water pressure from the full reservoir). that said, I have timed 16oz going through in about 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I'm very happy with that. some have commented about the manufacturing quality and the holes not being drilled out correctly. I believe they are designed that way, and they work perfectly. There are 8 holes in the bottom of the reservoir that drip the hot water onto the grounds. 3 of them are larger than the others BUT are spaced around in a circle with 5 other smaller holes in between them. this I believe was done on purpose to allow water to be spread more evenly over the grounds but still keep the overall flow rate slow enough for a good pour over. By weighing the grounds (I do 17 grams of a light/medium roast) I've found I can get a very consistent and good cup of coffee every time. no more harsh or bitter coffee because the water temp was off because I poured too slow or too fast. Often I get caught up doing something else and forget to complete the pour-over and then the water temp is off, etc, etc. you could easily bore out the other holes but, in my mind, you will ruin it. the water will flow out too rapidly for a good pour over. Also, I have not encountered any issues with the water overflowing the coffee filter holder. if you make the holes larger on reservoir you may cause overflowing because the flow rate out the bottom of the filter will not keep up with the inflow of water from the reservoir. tip. the reservoir only holds 12 ounces but if you go to the absolute brim you can get about 14 ounces and if you pour slowly at the end you can easily do 16 ounces because as the water goes down you can add more. I do it every morning and it's totally doable. this is perfect, it helps me remove several variables from the brewing process and allows me to concentrate on ground quantity, grind, roast level, and bean type...

Makes a good mellow cup of coffee. Would rate higher except for minor issue. Be careful if you use a wider mouth cup (cappuccino style) as the filter lid barely fits. It may slip off if you do not hold it. Might be easier as I become accustomed with it. Have used older style melita for years and this was not an issue. Overall glad I purchased it as the coffee is very good Read more

I like this, it is quick to make a cup whenever you feel like having a cup. Simple to use and clean. I wish it had a longer type of grip so it isn't so easy to knock off the cup, but it's not a deal breaker. I do think it makes a better cup of coffee than even my Krig does. I would recommend this even if using it just now and then, when you want a cup but don't want to start up the machine. I draw back is it uses quite a bit of coffee. I put three scoops of coffee when making a x-large cup of coffee Read more
