    OXO On Barista Brain 9 Cup Coffee Maker (8710100)

    • With exception to the pouring (drips) we love this machine
    • Fantastic machine
    • Very sensitive machine
    • This is a nice machine
    • We LOVE this machine
    • Machine is awesome.
    • Elegant machine; makes outstanding coffee.
    • When I was asked to write a review about this *amazing* coffee machine, I hesitated a bit because I wanted to make sure I highlighted the good and the bad
    • But the reality is, for the way that I drink coffee, I'm not sure you need to get a better machine then your run of the mill, well-reviewed drip coffee maker like say, the Cuisinart DCC-3200AMZ
    • I think a lid redesign would make this a great machine
    • I HATE this machine!
    • Still, the net result was that the coffee was consistently bitter and overextracted, and the machine was messy and not convenient to use
    • I love this machine
    • The machine will not like turn on if the water doesn’t reach the sensor line, and it’s like a waste of coffee beans
    • It's otherwise a great machine, but WAY overpriced considering it doesn't have such a basic feature.
    • I would not want that water to create mold in such a great machine
    • This machine has not dissapointed
    • Overall, this machine is solid.
    • This machine has one serious flaw
    • The machine itself is easy to use, incredibly quick, and looks great
    • This machine works really well - my main problem is the size
    • This machine has stolen my heart.
    • However around the 4th or 5th time using this (brand new) machine, an internal component of the plastic water reservoir cracked and it leaked water all over
    • For a few years now, I've been longing to get a "fancier" coffee machine that would make me "better" coffee
    • Fabulous machine
    • It's a great machine.
    • This machine is really amazing
    • This machine makes the coffee taste incredible.
    • And with the annoying machine timer and other nitpicks, I don't think I'd highly recommend this machine.
    • I love this drip machine
    • It is by far the best coffee machine I have ever used
    • This makes it the easiest machine of the three to fill.
    • My hope is for this machine to last 8 years like the Cuisinart it replaced.
    • It`s a very sleek looking machine, looks good in the kitchen and makes great coffee
    • Amazing machine!
    • , I built up the idea of a "fancier" machine making me "better" coffee for many years
    • When I was given the opportunity to try this incredible machine for free from influenster I couldn't believe it
    • There are more expensive machines out there, this is for me where I draw the line
    • Joking aside, this machine is awesome and I can't wait to enjoy fantastic coffee for years to come
    • It is an investment but it brews a consistently great cup of coffee and is cheaper than other machines capable of the same level of quality.
    • The coffee is somehow stronger using this machine, so we just use a bit less coffee grounds and so far it's been perfect.
    • Great little machine.
    • My husband and I have enjoyed the OXO coffee machine that is is actually taking the place of our 8 year relationship with Cuisinart coffee machine.
    • Well worth paying the extra money to enjoy my morning coffee without having to add flavors to cover poor quality delivered by cheaper machines.
    • (I rejected a competing machine because you need to switch from a carafe lid used for brewing to one without an opening in it once brewing is finished.
    • Very disappointing for an otherwise great machine.
    • Well, the machine looks nice on my counter and the coffee is good, so I'm mainly pleased
    • At first I thought this machine was going to be a flimsy and a cheap machine but was
    • This really puts a damper on an otherwise great machine
    • So where does this machine fail
    • All told, a beautiful machine that produces beautiful coffee
    • Well the first machine leaked all over my counter
    • Hands down, they said, the best coffee machine ever.
    • beautiful machine, although a little tall.
    • Overall I love this machine and highly recommend it!
    • One of the things that was mentioned was that it was the easiest coffee machine to use
    • I wanted a solid machine that would brew my coffee in the AM with a timer set the night before
    • But it's comfy to use, and I like the shape of it (and the whole machine).I'll certainly update if any issues pop up, but so far we're both quite happy with this.
    • I've even seen several cuisinart machines at goodwill for 5$ which is worth it for the carafe alone!)I then purchased a Bonavita TS1900 : This machine made amazing coffee, the best I've ever made at home
    • Since I have lost 4 machines to scale, I like the idea that this might extend the life of this machine to the point that it actually has a lower cost of ownership than my previous machines.
    • If you use a machine several times throughout the day, this may be the right machine for you, as I've heard they make decent cups o' joe.
    • My closest comparison that I previously had was the Bunn ThermoFresh and this one is by far a better machine
    • This coffee maker was an excellent brewing machine
    • Hotter even than the other top-rated machines I own
    • At our house the machine keeps the coffee hot for about two hours every morning before the pot is gone.
    • Friends from Seattle and NYC, cities with good water and good coffee, too praise this machine for the excellent cups of coffee.
    • Best drip machine I’ve ever owned, better than techvorm
    • This is a nice machine that brews within 196-207 degrees as advertised.
    • Well the first machine leaked all over my counter
    • Overall, though, nice machine.
    • We've had this machine for about one year now, and we love it
    • Other than that, it's a great little machine that does its job and keeps me caffeinated which is all that really matters.*i received this product free for testing
    • Best drip machine I've ever owned
    • When brewing, the machine is extremely quiet and the coffee comes out perfectly hot
    • I still like this machine more than I don't, but I can not heartily endorse this Oxo as it stands.
    • The machine is fun to watch make coffee , as you can see the water move up through the clear water tank.
    • The machine, however, smells musty all the time
    • the machine senses the absence of the pot and pauses the brewing cycle.
    • A real A+ machine, I would recommend to any of my friends and family who enjoy premium coffee.
    • I wish anyone else who purchases this beautiful machine more luck than I had.
    • It's also a really quiet machine
    • If someone is currently using a cheap coffee maker, they will probably find this makes a better cup of coffee, but if you already have a decent machine, it may not be much different
    • The machine is easy to use, and compact enough to fit under the counter where my old Cuisinart 12 cup machine was located
    • The machine is easy to use, and compact enough to fit under the counter where my old Cuisinart 12 cup machine was located
    • Setting that darned Oxo clock was far more confusing than setting the Bonavita's preinfusion cycle!Bottom line: Both are great machines, but if I were doing it over, I'd go for another Bonavita.
    • I was excited to try out this top rated machine
    • And with the annoying machine timer and other nitpicks, I don't think I'd highly recommend this machine.
    • It's annoying considering what this machine costs.2
    • I usually tip the whole machine on the side and it drains out from the reservoir as well as the drip area
    • I still like this machine more than I don't, but I can not heartily endorse this Oxo as it stands.
    • Yes, it's expensive compared to most coffee machines but if you value great tasting coffee in a great looking machine then give this one a look.
    • Great machine
    • 1st opinion, I did NOT like this machine
    • Great job designing this machine by OXO and for making it extremely high quality with producing fantastic coffee.
    • It's otherwise a great machine, but WAY overpriced considering it doesn't have such a basic feature.
    • That's one minor change that Oxo could make to improve the machine, in my mind; but maybe this is a pretty minor quibble
    • If the machine does not perform satisfactorily after just one or two months of service, then no matter how great the machine is, we have to rethink our praise about it
    • There is an issue with the electrical engineering on the unit, though, as others have reported -- if I grind coffee with a grinder plugged into the same outlet as the machine, it will reset the clock
    • The machine was extremely easy to use and easy to clean
    • A really great machine that makes consistently great tasting coffee
    • I appreciate this machine for it's consistency, and the way that it cares for my coffee
    • I have been using a 12-cup Cuisinart coffee maker for years, but I think I found my new favorite machine
    • Before this I used a manual drip, pour-over type and my wife used a stove-top espresso machine
    • I measured the crappy drip machine that this unit replaced, and it went from 185F down to 170F across the cycle
    • The machine is virtually silent and has a sleek look
    • Nice machine but garbage quality
    • I prefer this OXO to the Bonavita, which is a nice machine... but the filter holder slides out with the Bonavita carafe after brewing, which you must then remove and subsequently have to install the carafe cap
    • Pretty machine
    • Overall this machine is efficient and easy to use
    • The machine has excellent design , the machine is very easy to use in every step, the coffee is excellent with very good taste, in my house now we use it every day we all like this new gift from OXO , which should , I remember that our friends sent us to conduct relevant evidence , really we want to recommend this excellent product
    • I prize a machine that makes great coffee with a minimal daily time investment.
    • Beautiful machine, with a perfect cup/pot of coffee
    • In a call to customer service,OXO stated that the machine was awarded the coveted Specialty Coffee Association of America certification for meeting the temperature standards
    • I was a little disappointed coming from a cheap drip machine (albeit one of the "good" ones apparently) and a french press and this is using fresh coffee ground to size in my Baratz Maestro before use and filtered water
    • Over time I have noticed that the brewing temperature seems to be less hot, even though I regularly descale the machine when it nags me
    • I find this machine to be better than either.
    • So, I love the machine despite some issues, and I must say Oxo customer service has been great.
    • It is really a beautiful machine (especially in my nearly all black/stainless kitchen)
    • The controls took a little time to get use to, but all in all an awesome machine.
    • I usually don't like to write reviews but this is the worst coffee machine you can ever buy
    • Beautiful machine, simply elegant
    • I'm so much of a snob that I have a hard time admitting that this machine is good
    • We did a lot of research and testing of the scaa approved machines
    • Absolutely love this machine
    • The machine was provided free to me to try, but I would hands down buy it myself and recommend it to friends and family!
    • This machine is amazing
    • All great machines to be sure, but something about the pour over feature of the Oxo intrigued me
    • Seriously, one of the best home brew machine ever & this is coming from a pure coffee snob!
    • This is a terrific machine
    • Great looking machine, great coffee
    • This is a perfect (for me) coffee machine, and the greatest machine I've ever used
    • I respond the 1st or 2nd time the machine gives a red light prompt that it wants to be cleaned
    • is just a nice looking machine
    • Best coffee machine ever created
    • The machine is quiet, well designed and I JUST LOVE it and always look forward to the next cup of coffee.
    • I've used the machine---well, many times already in the short time we've had it, and I've been thrilled with it.
    • It is a very quiet machine, looks good on the counter, and is easy to set up and use.
    • Second machine didn't leak but just kept making terribly bitter coffee
    • I have tried it with grinding my own beans, as well as, with grounds and the coffee is amazing
    • As excited as I was to receive something like this to review from
    • Water doesn't stay as hot in thermos as I would like.
    • At the point it completes the cycle, the coffee made by this machine is certainly as good as, if not perceptibly better than that of the Bonavita or Capresso; but the coffee keeps better in the caraffe, it pours into the cup better, and it is much less susceptible to filter handling errors that result in rivers of hot coffee running across the counters, down the cabinets, and onto the floor.
    • My only complaint is the water/condensation that stays in where you pour the water as well as under the lid it sort of gets trapped under that rubber piece which makes me worried about mildew
    • Well made, easy to assemble and disassemble as well as to clean
    • This tastes as good as, if not better than, the clever coffee method and is much faster and easier to make
    • Overall I'd highly recommend this as long as you can live with those two limitations.
    • It shows cute little water drops on the LED as it brews, and a hot cup once it's done
    • We verified the water was the proper temperature, and we simply don't know exactly WHY the coffee isn't tasting as good as it could, but we've decided to return this and go with a less expensive option
    • coffee maker works as it should, I like
    • The coffee carafe itself keeps the brewed coffee warm for quite a bit if you want to take it off the machine and bring it to a table or desk (if you work from home, as I
