Review notes

The OXO Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker falls short of expectations, as an initial plastic taste and persistent spilling from the carafe undermine its convenience features. While it boasts high-quality build materials and brews a full tank in about six minutes, the reviewer struggled for weeks to get the water-to-coffee ratio correct, wasting multiple bags of coffee. Furthermore, the oddly designed carafe consistently caused coffee to splash and spill during pouring. If you prioritize a truly automated, mess-free brewing experience, this machine is not ideal. Look elsewhere if you expect a flavor profile on par with a Chemex and are not prepared for extensive initial cleaning.
