OXO got it right Update – I have now been using this coffee maker for over 18 months with no issues, and I’m still just as happy with the performance. I have made over 750 pots of coffee, and they are hot and tasty every time. I also have added some information in response to one of the comments left on this review, and a picture of the disassembled carafe lid which was cleaner than expected after 18 months of use.I have been using the OXO Barista Brain 9 cup coffee maker for about 10 days now, and overall I am very happy with this purchase. I have owned Cuisinart, Zojirushi, Mr. Coffee, Hamilton Beach, DeLonghi, and Capresso coffee makers over the past 15 years.

I find this machine to be better than either. At their best I would say that all three coffee makers are capable of making very good coffee, and I would be hard pressed to support the claim that the coffee made in this machine is consistently better than the best coffee from either of the previous brands. That said, it is very good. At Starbucks or at good restaurants I rarely find coffee that I enjoy so much. I don’t seek out coffee esoterica and I don’t consider myself a coffee snob; but I do buy good beans and I grind them for each use.If the coffee made in this machine is not measureably better, why would one spring for the extra money for the OXO machine instead of the Bonavita or the Capresso?Before we answer that question, we must explain why the thermal caraffe. The answer is that burners that keep uninsulated caraffes warm…
