OXO - 9-Cup Coffee Maker

I have the OXO that's going on 10 years of near-daily use and after all that time it's finally starting to show its age. The coffee in the carafe isn't as hot as it should be and the red "clean me" light comes on way more frequently. I've been looking at the Mocca Master as a potential replacement or, honestly, just another OXO. Anyone who's owned both have any thoughts? I wfh and tend to drink a pot over several hours in the morning so the one with the heated glass pot is tempting me. But I've had such bad luck in the past with warming plates overheating the brewed coffee.

Anything certified by the SCA is going to make a great cup of coffee. Lots of folks swear by the Moccamaster, I have an OXO because it was like half the price, but I doubt you can go wrong with anything on this list. https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer

I've had both the oxo and the moccamaster and would lean towards the moccamaster. It's literally add water, add beans, and flip the switch. The cleaning is a little easier on MM and it's got good support for replacement parts if you ever need them. I had a minor issue and they shipped me a new part next day. You can't go wrong with the oxo either, but I prefer the MM, especially from a BIFL perspective. Alternatively go for the Mr. Coffee base model and just replace it when the time comes. They can last for decades too.

If she *enjoys* her coffee, getting the grinder makes a huge difference - but also has a few settings she'll want to test to get right: how much time and how coarse of a grind. Both are pretty easy to figure out, and once she has the settings, she'll never need to touch them again. I don't know if this would be a barrier to her using the grinder, but I have the OXO grinder and OXO 9 cup coffee maker and it's SO much better than any "standard" drip coffee maker.

And serviceable. I bought and fixed up a second one that had a hard water buildup in the boiler; it's pretty straightforward to take apart and clean out the water system.

I can't speak to the "8 Cup", but OXO's "Brew 9" produces one of the best-tasting cups I've gotten from drip coffeemakers, and has lasted me over ten years completely issue-free. I have an Aeropress, and it indisputably for me produces the best-tasting cup, but Brew 9 still does a great enough job for me to use it 99% of the time.

I have an oxo on 9 barista brain coffee maker that's probably about 10 years old. https://www.oxo.com/barista-brain-9-cup-coffee-maker.html (also now comes in black) it has a timer. yeah the beans sit overnight but that's a compromise I'm willing to make for hot coffee when I roll out of bed. it's been great. makes great coffee. and oxo has great customer service (they replaced a carafe I confessed to dropping after the warranty was up without asking any questions). it only in the last week has had a minor quirky issue with the control knob but it still works fine. so is it bifl? probably not quite. will it serve you well and have coffee ready in the morning. heck yeah brother.

I have an Oxo 9 cup. I love it. It's been very reliable. The only problem for your mother might be the red light that comes on to tell you to clean it. I have get the manual out to remember how to get the light to go out when it's done.

The Oxo 9 cup is supposed to be a cheaper version of the mocca master. I use that as it has preprogrammed timer or it takes 4 minutes to brew. Anyone else try the Oxo?

Only get the moccamaster if your mom buys quality coffee. If she's a Maxwell house, Folgers or Seattles Best gal, then stick to the OXO. Moccamaster does the best job extracting the flavor from beans. But if the beans are shitty, that's not actually ideal.

The Oxxo 9 cup coffee maker is really good and very stylish too. It makes outstanding coffee at around $200 or so. If you don't mind dropping $300+ on a coffee maker, the Technivorm Moccamaster is very good. They are extremely well built and all repairable with easy to buy parts from Technivorm. I got mine for $10 in a thrift shop so I feel it is a great value at that price. But I know lots of people who have paid full price for them and they all love theirs. I would have a hard time shelling out so much for a coffee maker. Also sometimes they go on sale.

Thick beefy glass weighs a lot and pulls a lot of heat out of the coffee. Both major negatives! Luxurious feeling plastics are full of toxic chemicals. They prioritized plastics that don't leach toxins or flavor into the coffee. We have an OXO gold cup certified $200 coffee maker at work that makes the worst coffee known to man. It tastes like plastic no matter how many times I run water, vinegar, coffee through it. But it feels high quality haha

Used to own this one. Makes amazing coffee. Programmable option or use a smart plug. Save $ on machine, buy better beans! Support.local roasters. Get. Handmade ceramics to drink from.

Longtime coffee addict here-my trusty Oxo 9-cup has fueled me for over eight years, but I'm itching for a change :) Recently gave the Moccamaster a shot, but it wasn't practical in my situation. The Breville seems like a good alternative. It appears practical for me and the fine calibration settings are intriguing. Just curious if anyone here made a similar switch? What has your experience been?

I got an Oxo and I'm disappointed. It's fiddly (too many little parts, including a rubber tube inside the carafe) and cranky. Every couple months it just refuses to brew coffee until it has been descaled 3-4 times, a process that takes a couple hours. And I have soft water.

Same situation, no time for fancy coffee, but want the best drip I could get. I have an Oxo drip, with their burr grinder. Best drip coffee I've had. I looked at the Moccamaster, but this seemed fine.

I had an OXO that lasted about 12 years. Would have lasted longer if I descaled it more often. Now on a Moccamaster. I think the Moccamaster has a better build and the aluminum carafe is glass lined. But if you are buying regular coffee both of these are overkill.

I had every expectation it would be great! All Oxo products I've ever had are wonderful. But this coffee maker is horrid. We only have it because I'd been using my Moccamaster Cup One in my office and the others were getting jealous. So my boss bought a nice coffee maker but now he thinks I'm an idiot because the coffee it makes is disgusting hahaha

I hate my oxo

I have one from Oxo that's been going strong for years now.

https://www.oxo.com/barista-brain-9-cup-coffee-maker.html have the previous gen going on 9 years. handle on the carafe failed and was replaced without questions or jumping through hoops. has an automatic timer so I can have coffee before my brain works. the timer and price are the main reasons I didn't get the technivorm moccamaster.

Pour Overs are as complicated as you want to make it to be. I dont really do anything that complicated and once I find a technique/recipe that I like, I just stick to it. If you don't count the time that it takes for the water to heat up, it only takes a few minutes to make a cup. I personally enjoy the process and feel like it's a good 5 min break to brew the coffee. I have a good oxo machine for drip coffee but I rarely use it because I only drink 1 small cup of coffee a day. I would say maybe start with pour overs to see how you like it first? Both method basically require a lot of the same gear, like you'll need a scale/grinder for both. The only difference is that you need a electric gooseneck kettle + pour over device (they're not really expensive, v60 switch is maybe $35) vs a drip machine. In the worst case scenario, where you hate the pourover process, the electric kettle is still a great tool to have in the kitchen (if you don't currently have one). The electric kettle has become one of my most used tool in the kitchen because it boils water so much faster than the stove. I wish I got one sooner lol.

rockin the oxo for about 5 years, got it for $60 open box at a swap meet

I have the same setup as you (except my OXO is the 9-cup model). Fantastic coffee every morning.

Simple is better. We've had an OXO 9-cup and make two pots per day, going on 4 years. How many do you make? And what CPOC have you had?

The Aiden might be overkill -- sounds like the thing you want is a good drip coffee maker with a clock. The "clock" part isn't the expensive thing (you can get a Mr Coffee thing with a clock for $30), it's the "good". Tbh I'd buy a decent one second hand. I've used the Behmor Brazen and Oxo 9 cup, and recently switched to the Breville Precision (all second hand), and can vouch for all of them, tho I really do like the Precision the best. And all are cheaper than the Aiden.

I just bought the Oxo 9-cup: excellent. Great thermal carafe. Perfect if you don't want to mess with pourovers or grinding beans.

We have an OXO drip coffee maker with a thermos. We did need to drill the crosshatch in the removable top as grounds were getting stuck...I didn't want a hot base for the coffee to bake/fire hazard. And no glass coffee pot! We also have: 2 French press Pour over Small stove top Sugar (check your regulations) We provide a OXO grinder and local, fair trade beans.
