OXO Brew Single Serve Pour-Over Coffee Maker

This is exactly what I was looking for; an easy way to make fresh delicious coffee without any mess that is consistent every day. We have a Keurig, but to me the coffee just doesn’t taste good. The Keurig does brew coffee quickly, but if it doesn’t taste good, then what’s the point? This pour-over system is very easy to use, it fits my coffee cup perfectly, it makes it easy to dispose of the grounds, and clean up is a breeze. It’s also very light (its plastic) so if you wanted to take it with you traveling you definitely could. I think for the price and the value you get, especially the great taste, this is the way to go. You can buy ground coffee on sale at the grocery store for 1/3 the price of K cups. In the end, taste is the most important factor to me, and while pour over brewing does take a few minutes longer than using a Keurig, it’s definitely worth the time.

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.

1. This unit is comprised of a dripper to place on any mug/cup, the water reservoir to place atop the dripper, and the lid (which can also be used as a coaster/ drip catcher). Also included are 10 #2, unbleached filters. 2. OXO recommends #2 filters, so it's nice that they included them. However, standard basket filters, which are much cheaper, can be easily converted to cones. Simply flatten the basket filters, bring the bottom up so it looks like a taco, then bring one side of that "taco" to the center. You'll know you did it right if it looks like a cone. I'm sure there are many online tutorials if you don't mind listening to someone tell you for 5 minutes what they're *going* to do lol. Anyway, it's much cheaper, so practice until you get the hang of it. I also cut discs out of regular filters for units requiring those. 3. This unit is plastic (BPA-free), which is nice because it doesn't get hot; the heat remains in the water, keeping the coffee hot. The dripper interior is dark, a charcoal gray, so there won't be any visible staining. 4. The advantage to this system is not having to stand there while it's draining. And I fully take advantage of that by not wetting the filter before use (I've never done that for *any* method of coffee making, and don't notice any "paper taste " whatever that is), or "blooming" the grounds. 5. The reservoir holes are not of uniform size. Some stream, while others drip. This is a quality control issue, surprising for OXO. Also, the holes are positioned so that, while all of the grounds are hit by the water, *it's not uniformly so*. You can tell by the "hole" in the center of the brewed grounds. This is a design defect, which needs addressing. 6. You *can* use the dripper as you would a Melitta cone by not using the reservoir--if you want to stand there the way you have to with Melitta and other pour over systems. So there are positives and negatives. Happily, the coffee was delicious--after adjusting for the defects. BTW, I didn't grind my own coffee or use a special grind; I used the same store-bought coffee I use for the drip coffeemaker and other pour over methods. It's possible to lift the reservoir after filling with water, and swirl it a bit to get a little more extraction from the grounds along the sides, but I didn't even want to do that. I simply added a little more coffee and that worked for me! I want a fast system and this suits me. I boil 10 oz of water, and don't even need to look at the reservoir marks. Once you figure out your coffee to water ratio, it'll work for you, too, so I do ultimately recommend this product. It's also worth noting that OXO did not invent this type of reservoir pour over system. Drip-o-lators have been around for some time. I am the pour-over queen lol so, as well as the Melitta, I also have a small, vintage, aluminum Wearever drip pot, #3042, which I've used for decades. Those tiny holes are perfectly spaced and configured so as to uniformly saturate the grounds without my standing there with measured pouring (as I have to do with the Melitta cone), so OXO should be able to do the same thing. And, PLEASE, how about some colors? A "happy" yellow, among others, would be nice! EDIT: After using this daily for about 6 weeks, I've added another star! Despite some design defects mentioned above, this quickly makes a great cup of coffee. Another thing you can do with pour overs is sprinkle cinnamon over the coffee grounds before brewing. That will clog drip machines, and cinnamon doesn't mix with liquids so you can't just add it to coffee. BUT sprinkling over grounds with this system extracts the flavorful cinnamon oils. Nice! Update: I like this so much, I ordered the black, and love it! This option was not available earlier, so it pays to check back in from time to time.

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 🎄😂🙌

My bad. I guess I didn't read product specs. This product is 100% plastic. Guess I was hoping for glass and ceramic ; ) My reason for switching to pour over was to avoid the heated plastic of a drip maker. Don't get me wrong, the lazy factor of this little unit is huge. No standing there slowly pouring your hot water in perfect circles over your freshly ground beans. No, just quickly fill the clear reservoir, cover with the lid and walk away. Come back in about a minute to a fresh, hot cup of coffee, albeit with a smidge of plastic added in. I used it for about a week, trying to justify in my mind that it was probably just a minute amount. But I got over my lazy self and went back to my stainless filter and glass carafe. A good product for someone who drinks a single cup and doesn't mind the plastic issue.

Ótimo material!

And even more so when I found and purchased a permanent gold filter for this pour over maker. At first I was using the filters papers supplied so I bought another batch of papers. In the meantime I was "missing" some of the "oiliness" of coffee as I had known and loved it for over 60 years. My favourite brew was simply coffee grounds in the jug, a small pinch of salt*, add water just off the boil, stir, wait for it to brew, then pass it through a sieve-like "coffee strainer" and enjoying quite a bit of the "sludge" in the bottom of the cup. Perhaps "cowboy coffee" may have been a fair description? Then I discovered that there was a permanent gold filter available for the Oxo pour over and immediately bought one. I now have the very best of both worlds. Easy to brew, easy to clean up, and most importantly, the *full* coffee experience that I have enjoyed and loved over a lifetime. I don't think this device can be beaten for ease and simplicity, *and* providing coffee the way that I like it. * re "small pinch of salt" - One day, many years ago, when working offshore in the oil patch I volunteered to make the coffee for the crew on break and went through the usual rituals. I was pulled up by an old Dutchman who said, "Hey, you forgot the salt!" "Salt?" I asked, "What salt?" "You should always put a pinch of salt in your coffee," he told me. A couple of other Dutch guys in the crew nodded their approval. I thought they were taking the P but I added some salt anyway. Since I tasted that coffee that day I have *always* added a pinxch of salt to my brew. Only when someone insists on "where did you get this beautiful coffee?" do I tell them my secret. Give it a try.

Buena calidad buen precio

I use reusable filter.

Great product, especially with the 3 percolators for water onto the coffee grounds. Because of the percolators, boiling water does not need to sit to cool down for too long before making the coffee. The water does an even distribution of pour to the grounds to allow it to soak consistently and enough for proper brewing. I believe the type of filter you use will alter the taste of your coffee too. I have used and am using the same paper filter for this coffee dripper and the coffee tastes so much better! Great buy. One wish is that they make one out of glass. Not too sure on the hot water on plastic. It seems to be pretty durable though.
