While we are no fans of stainless steel carafes, we actually appreciated OXO’s carafe. ✓ Double-walled stainless steel carafe that keeps coffee hot for longer. OXO believes that coffee stays fresh for one hour after it has been brewed, and the timer is meant to keep track of that time period of optimum freshness. ![]() It turns into a freshness indicator once one brewing cycle has ended. The control panel of the OXO BREW 9-cup coffee maker features a backlit screen that displays the status. We noticed that OXO Barista Brain brewed coffee much hotter than other drip coffee makers. ✓ Optimal temperature and time for a perfect tasting cup of coffee This machine is certified by the SCA, which guarantees that that coffee brews at the optimal brewing temperatures (197-205 degrees Fahrenheit). Thus, you can enjoy their full flavor potential in a better and tastier cup of coffee. What that means is that the coffee grounds will be soaked with water evenly. The showerhead evenly disperses water over coffee grounds for uniform saturation and full flavor extraction. The rainmaker shower head is a simple but effective improvement in the brewing process. ✓ An even extraction for complete and rich flavors. In fact, when I was brewing, I was able to notice that the water flow stopped several times during brewing in order to allow coffee grounds to be fully soaked and to bloom. The BrewBetter technology uses a microprocessor to control the brew cycle in such a way that it replicates the pour over method. After that, the water passes through a silicone bridge, and it is then poured in the brew basket.Īdditional perks: I was so excited for this OXO Brew Review. It has an innovative design that allows the water to pass through the heating element at the base of the tank, and then to be suctioned up through a tube placed in the middle of the reservoir. Water reservoir: The water reservoir is not removable. It may create issues for those who do not have a lot of space under their top cabinets. OXO BREW is 8.30 inches deep, 15 inches wide, and 17.20 inches tall. Unit size: The unit itself is indeed very tall, but otherwise quite slim and handsome. This was much lighter than expected, given the size of the coffee maker. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it weighted only about 8 pounds. With stainless steel, I thought it would be a heavy machine. Weight: When I was preparing this OXO Barista Brain review, I was expecting a super heavy and bulky coffee maker. It is important to remember that, according to OXO standards, each cup of coffee contains 5oz of coffee liquid. That is a very useful feature to offer, because it allows me to brew depending on my needs, and it helps me avoid situations in which I need to throw out unused coffee. This machine uses #4 paper filters that I was able to purchase separately.īeverage size: OXO Barista Brain gives me the possibility to choose between two brewing settings: 2-4 cups and 5-9 cups. Therefore, in order to brew coffee using the OXO Barista Brain, I need to use paper filters. The basket does not come with its own filter, as is the case of many other drip coffee machines. The manufacturer recommends that I should use 8 grams (or 1.5 teaspoons) of coffee grounds per each cup of coffee (up to 13.5 teaspoons of coffee grounds). Voltage: OXO Barista Brain is made for 120V, and can be used in Canada and the US only.īasket size: OXO BREW’s basket is large enough to contain enough coffee grounds for 9 cups of coffee. The brew basket sits over an insulated, double walled, stainless steel carafe that keeps the brew hot and fresh. I was able to access the brew basket by raising its lid. The timer is set up automatically to count up to 60 minutes, indicating the time period over which the coffee is still fresh and still has the best possible flavor. On the other hand, the digital screen (located above the rotating dial) allowed me to easily and quickly view the following: Program the coffee maker for the next brewing.With a backlit button/dial, I was able to select the following: A digital screen to view the time and current selections.A backlit button/dial to set up my preferred brewing.The control panel was fairly straightforward and featured only onle backlit button/dial and a digital screen: The machine had two parts: a reservoir with the heating element, and a brewing basket with a stainless steel carafe. I liked the versatile looks with stainless steel and transparent water reservoir. Though minimalist at first, I found its design very impressive. My coffee machine was made of both plastic and stainless steel materials. I was really excited when I got my own model for this OXO Barista Brain review. ![]()
