1. 5HT Verified Buyer – 18 March 2024

   I have owned several coffee making appliances in the past, ranging from basic drip machines to multiple offerings from Keurig and Nespresso. Prior to ordering this, my go-to was a $1000+ Saeco super-automatic machine, which I not only used to make the occasional espresso but also for my daily cup(s) of regular coffee. I realized one day that I was running low on coffee beans and hopped on coffeemakers.us.com to order some more. Unfortunately, I accidentally ordered several pounds of ground coffee, and no longer owned any machines that I could use it in. It was during the height of the pandemic, so I wasn’t going into work and couldn’t simply give it away to a colleague. Therefore, I got on coffeemakers.us.com to find the cheapest way to turn those grounds into brewed coffee. Lo and behold, it was this. The coffee I had ordered was nothing fancy, just Cameron’s Highlander Grogg. I measured out my coffee, boiled my water, and prepared my first cup of coffee, which was very easy to do with this device. When I took my first sip, I was stunned! I tasted what I’d been missing for years; a flavor that my $1000+ superautomatic simply wasn’t designed to produce in a cup of brewed coffee… I’ll stop my rambling and cut to the chase, the super-automatic now lives in a cabinet and this is my go-to for making coffee. It’s super easy and quick to use, even easier to clean up and makes a consistently delicious cup of coffee. I imagine I’ll end up “upgrading” to a nicer pour-over unit someday, but to be honest, that will just be to fulfill my need to buy new coffee gadgets and not to improve upon any flaws in this unit.

   Excelente producto. Muy práctico para mis viajes. Si quieres sacar el mejor provecho, calibra el grado del molido previamente al balance de tu preferencia acidez-amargor. Si no tienes molino y lo compras ya molido, aún así tendrás un buen café. (recomiendo usar filtro de buena calidad, y café de especialidad)

   This works perfectly. I love that it has that holding tank on top to slow the rate at which the water flows. And I can just fill that and let it go. No need to stand over it with kettle in hand and slowly pour the water over a regular filter without that holding tank. Best yet is that it makes a great cup of coffee!

   

4. Cat dad Verified Buyer – 12 May 2024

   Drink a lot of coffee, and tea which is why I have a kettle. The water dispenser is an interesting design, and brews a delicious cup. The lid being able to double as a coaster is a nifty touch too. All the pieces fit together nicely, and the smell of the brewing coffee is borderline torturous. Highly recommended by this mechanic!

   If you want the ability to take control of your coffee experience then the OXO Brew Pour-Over is definitely something that you need to invest in. I will start with the most important thing, taste. It should only take you a few brew cycles before you dial in your perfect cup. Subsequent brews are so easy after you get your process down. The OXO produces a superior tasting cup of coffee. The brewing process is not overly complicated, unless you want it to be. To brew an excellent cup of coffee you don’t need a gram scale or other special gadgets; but that too is up to you. It only took me about 4 brewing cycles to brew my perfect cup. I must note, that it took my wife just a few more brews before she got to her perfect cup. But that is the beauty of the OXO; you get to brew YOUR perfect cup! From start to finish, it takes about 4 to 5 minutes to complete the brew cycle. This is my process and some of the gadgets that I use. 1. Bring the water to 205 degrees. For this i use an electric water kettle. You could heat your water various ways; the experts say 205 is best, so I went with an electric kettle for consistency. 2. I use high quality freshly roasted whole beans. But, you can use whatever you want to include ground coffee, to brew your perfect cup. 3. I use a high quality burr coffee mill. Again, I went with what the experts advised. I think that it’s in the milling process that I get the most control over the taste and strength of my brew. I can control the amount of grounds as well as the size of the grinds. Again, you don’t need a burr mill, you can get better results for your perfect cup by adding more or less of your favorite coffee. 4. I don’t measure the grounds that I place in my OXO for my dailycup(s). However, I did measure during the first 4 cups as I dialed in my perfect cup. Now that I have my mill setup all I have to do is make sure that I’m not on my wife’s settings, push the button, and then I’m ready to brew. 5. The setup for the OXO are simple. Grab your favorite cup, use a quality #2 cone shaped coffee filter (I purchased one of those gold tone reusable metal filters, but I DON’T recommend them for the OXO. The reusable filter didn’t quite fit (first picture with paper filter, 2nd with reusable filter) but worse, it allows fine coffee sediment into your cup.) I pre-wet the paper filter with a little water from my kettle, place my grounds in and, with the OXO sitting on my up, pour-over, in a circular motion wetting as much of the grounds as possible, about 1 ounce of water and then put the OXO’s water reservoir in place. After about a minute or two, I fill the reservoir to the 11 of mark (no need to use a measuring cup). About 3 minutes later you are ready to enjoy! I recommend the OXO for the ability for you to fully control all aspects to brew your perfect cup of coffee!

   

6. The J Verified Buyer – 8 August 2024

   I am not motivated to go through a complicated process to make coffee. Anything that involves preparing and cleaning up is not worth it to me. Because of that, I have always only used k-cups. I was trying to find something that was almost as easy, but would allow me more flexibility in the coffee I use, and hopefully taste a little better. I also didn’t want to spend too much. After reading reviews, I ended up with this coffee maker. I have to say that I am happy with it. It takes slightly more effort than the Keurig, but not much. I boil about 11 ounces of water in the microwave (I boil it right in a glass measuring cup), set up the filter, coffee, and mug, and pour the water in. Once it’s done I get rid of the coffee and filter, rinse everything, and leave it in the drying rack until next time. There is very little work involved. And I do like the coffee better than the k-cups. I use a little more of the ground coffee than the instructions recommend (I use roughly 4 tablespoons for 11 ounces of water), and I end up not being able to taste the water like I can with k-cups. I have only used cheap coffee so far, but I still like it a lot. I do suggest that when you scoop the coffee grounds into the filter, you pile them up in the middle. With this design the water tends to make a channel down the middle of the coffee. (Water goes down the middle rather than spreading across the grounds.) So, if you start with a level pile of coffee, the last of the water will be going through almost none of it – it will go down the channel in the middle straight into your cup. You will see what I mean in my photos of the coffee grounds after brewing (this started with the dry grounds being piled high in the center). I like this coffee maker. It accomplishes exactly what I wanted. I am getting coffee that I like better with only a little more effort than the k-cups. As a bonus, there is no plastic waste and, over time, I might even save a little money.

   

7. Greg Dee Verified Buyer – 27 August 2024

   We got this brewer for Christmas & have made coffee with it about 3 times now. Each time I noticed that the water seemed to pour quickly through 4 of the holes & nothing came out of the others. Upon closer inspection,n I noticed that some of the holes at the bottom of the water tub are much larger than others. I’m not sure if this is normal but have tried contacting the company & will update you with what they said.

   

8. James A. Meeks Verified Buyer – 3 September 2024

   It makes the perfect cup of coffee, you just need to use good quality coffee that has the perferred taste and strength that you like. The guide included gives you the amount of coffee to use for the size of cup you want to drink, then you just pour that amount of boiling water into the water reservoir which has the mesurements on it. I just threw my Keurig coffee machine away, along with the bulky container that holds the keurig cups, and I now I have more kitchen counter space and better tasting coffee. Plus this will save me a lot of money not buying those expensive keurig things that aren’t good for the enviorment anyway! It’s a bit more time consuming making a good cup of coffee, but well worth it. So slow down for a minute and enjoy your coffee!

   

9. Love the USA Verified Buyer – 4 September 2024

   I cannot say enough good things about this coffee brewer. First of all (and most importantly) it makes an excellent cup of coffee! No electricity. No timing issues normally associated with pour over coffee makers. Don’t get me wrong. I still love my pour over brew, but let’s be honest, sometimes, you just don’t feel up to the whole “ritual” of pour over. In the morning, I just need some good tasting ‘Joe” that is easy and quick. Put in a filter. Add your grounds. Place the top water bin portion over the top. Place the whole thing on top of your mug. Remove the top lid and add the correct amount of water for your cup (8oz, 10oz, or 12oz) and then sit back and relax while this does the rest. My helpful hint if you want to make the coffee to taste even better… 1. About a minute after you pour in the hot water, pick up your mug and the whole contraption together and move it in a small “swirling” motion for 3 or 4 swirls. Then, put it back down and let it finish brewing. If you do this, it will distribute the coffee more evenly in the filter and make for a better tasting final cup. Try it and see if you don’t agree. This is my go to brewer for my morning coffee now. I just love it’s ease of use and the results are undeniable.

   

10. Elizabeth Verified Buyer – 1 November 2024

    This thing was well thought out. I was using a different brand with a more traditional style till the plastic cracked. This OXO is a time & effort saver. No more standing there for several minutes while pouring slowly, since the clear water tank allows me to walk away & do other things while it does the pour over for me. As the water tank just holds up to 12 ounces (plus maybe another ounce or so of space to the top rim), I do wait a few seconds till some water has drained through the grounds and add a little more. Then cover with the lid & leave till it’s done. My coffee cup holds at least 16 ounces, & I drink every bit of that.
    This is a time saver for rinsing too, compared to the old metal mesh style filter I had. I always needed to check that one for a few coffee grains that got stuck in the sides & make sure the faucet was somewhat forcefully hitting it. The new water tank doesn’t need rinsing at all after this process, (unless you have enough grounds that they touch the bottom of the tank during the brew), & the white cup that holds the paper filter is a really fast rinse, since it has solid, streamlined sides with no mesh-holes. The only, only minor improvement I could imagine would be to allow the water tank to hold a few more ounces, but doesn’t bother me since I found my little work-around. The plastic is thick & solid, & I don’t expect cracks to shorten it’s lifespan. Love it.

    Edited to add: If you’re not crazy about adding paper filters to landfills, I found compostable #2 cone filters on this site made by “If You Care”, I think was the name of the brand. Some reviews say they’re weak & let coffee grounds through, but apparently not if you fold the two seamed edges real quick as the instructions say. I just ordered some, & the wait is like a month, so will have to use regular ones from the grocery store till then.

    Update, 12/‘22: It’s still great. Use it daily.
    I realized later that this setup may not seem any better than just a fully automated bean-grinding drip coffee-maker to some, but it actually is, because 1) there’s never any descaling to worry about or parts to seriously clean, 2) the footprint is very small & takes up minimal space on your countertop, 3) no need for electrical power, & 4) you get total control taste-wise over your joe. And it’s completely quiet. : ) Still ordering & using the If You Care brand compostable paper filters in it, and they haven’t ever leaked grounds for me. I don’t even need to fold the seems as instructions suggested.
    Overall a good morning routine.

    2nd update, 8/‘23:
    Still using it daily; still no cracks or problems; using the same compostable filters; still love.
    : )

    It’s durable, attractive, very well designed and most definitely makes a flavorful cup of coffee. Drip rate seems perfect out of the single opening on the bottom of the pour over funnel letting the coffee grounds steep properly. The reservoir water tank is optional but I tried it and liked it. It worked perfectly for me. It saves time. You don’t have to stand there with your hot water kettle slowly wetting the grinds. After setting up your paper filter and filling it with fresh coffee, set the tank on top of the brewer and fill to the amount of water you need and walk away. Super easy. There is no viewing window to see how much coffee is going into you cup so make sure you add the correct amount of water needed. I would imagine it’s easy to overflow your coffee mug if you over do it with water. Common sense stuff. I have only used it with my own set of #2 brown filters from Melitta. Great combination in my opinion. Zero regrets with this purchase!
    

12. Kassy Land Verified Buyer – 23 November 2024

    This last month I found mold in my espresso machine and decided to switch to pour over to avoid that issue. I bought multiple pour over devices to see what was best! This one is hands down the winner for me. The drop is perfect, it only takes 2 minutes or so to drop completely. It’s very convenient for me and my husband to use because we each have our own , we can just use it right on top of our individual mugs. He prefers a stronger coffee and Im more on the weak side, so this is perfect for us !!! It really makes the perfect cup. Don’t forget to order coffee filters because you have to use one. (It comes with a handful).

    

13. Adrien Verified Buyer – 22 January 2025

    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.
    

14. Anonymous Verified Buyer – 9 February 2025

    I love rich, deep coffee flavor. Love multiple shots of espresso with a tiny cream and sugar or French press with the same. Have ordered pour over in coffee shops and was never really impressed. This device was on sale for Black Friday and I bought it for myself for Christmas. It makes the dreamiest, smoothest, richest cup of coffee. I add a tiny heavy cream and maple syrup–divine hubby loves it black. Don’t go over 200°! We preground our Starbucks Verona beans at Costco and use 1/4 cup grounds for 9-10oz. Highly recommend and will be buying as gifts for true coffee lovers.

    

15. Kaliona Verified Buyer – 22 February 2025

    We full-time in our RV so wanted a space-saving way to make my morning Chicory beverage. This works perfectly. I love that it is large enough to fit my favorite 16oz mug. I did have to grind my roasted chicory a bit finer than normal to get the deep dark brew that like favor. I discovered that I can add a bit of ground dark cocoa with the chicory in the filter for a chocolaty beverage. Quick and easy to clean. Also, I don’t use special sized filters as they are hard to find when traveling. I buy regular cone filters and just do a quick trim with scissors. Works fine and is cost-effective.

    

16. FuntimeFandrew Verified Buyer – 25 February 2025

    I mainly use this for camping. It’s great that it’s small and seems robust. OXO makes a folding version, which isn’t quite as nice. Only complaint is that I wish they included a storage case for it. It takes about the same amount of time to boil 12oz of water in a jet boil as it does to make a cup of coffee with this (~2 mins), so making multiple cups is quite streamlined. It fits nicely in the $4 IKEA Kuggis 7x10x6 box, along with a small bag of coffee and filters.

    

17. DBP Verified Buyer – 2 March 2025

    I enjoy coffee every morning. I’ve always wanted a Technovorm Moccamaster but they cost a lot. I’m so glad I gave this a try. It’s super easy to use and produces a smooth, non-bitter delicious cup every single time. It comes with a handy guide that states how many grams of ground coffee you need for however many ounces of coffee you want to drink. Of course, like any coffee making process, much depends on the coffee you use and the grind. I use a medium grind and find it works perfectly for me. It’s also really easy to clean. I’m now enjoying coffee that tastes better than from any automatic drip maker I’ve used.

19. Jen Snyder Verified Buyer – 6 March 2025

    Really, seriously, this thing is easy, inexpensive, and does its job well. In the past I’ve had: coffee machine (takes up too much space and gets funky inside, even with cleaning); French press: thought I’d use it a lot, but despite trying many techniques, I still have grounds in my coffee (yes, including coarse grind), and I don’t love the cleanup; current compact Keurig – I know I know don’t hate – with a pain disorder sometimes you just need something that takes 0 energy, and the pods are improving; and now this little guy. I also considered a Chemex (slow drip), but it seemed to require too much supervision (I’m tired, ok). I’m pet sitting and don’t have my keurig machine, so I brought this, and am on my second day using it. Couldn’t be simpler – 1. Boil water 2. Put filter in white bottom part, scoop ground coffee into filter 3. Put reservoir (clear part) on top of the white bottom part, then place onto any cup 4. Pour boiling water into the reservoir 5. Wait about a minute or two, until all water is drained into your cup, and DONE. Excellent coffee in your mug. The pieces fit together gently, no snap. You can use it with almost any mug, because the water drains through a small hole under the filter. It doesn’t need to fit securely, you just place it on top. Cleanup is simple – just throw away the filter and rinse if you would like to. I think I’ll be using this and my Keurig on alternate days.

    

20. Kimberly M. Verified Buyer – 19 March 2025

    I ordered this coffee brewer because of currently having limited kitchen space. And, of all the versions of this cup-top manual brewer, I liked the idea of the lid and water-measuring guide-cup (though they are totally unnecessary). This manual brewer is easy to use and to clean up after.
    I have been using the water-guide most of the time, as it directs the water causing the grinds to stay in a smaller area of the filter, slowing down the waterflow and making a stronger brew.
    This style of brewing may require use of more grinds per cup, or switching to a stronger coffee, to get the perfect coffee strength to your taste – because it brews so quickly. Also, if you can brew your coffee into an insulated mug, it’ll keep your coffee hot, longer.
    FYI – the lid does not fit snuggly onto the brewer; it nestles onto the water-measuring cup perfectly but only sits atop the brewer cup.

    Estaba buscando una cafetera que me permitiera hacerme una taza de café que tuviera un sabor como el de las cafeterías, este producto satisfizo mis expectativas.
    

22. Keith Verified Buyer – 7 April 2025

    Morning coffee could not be any easier now since I purchased the OXO single serve pour over. After having already owned and broken two glass carafes, I decided to avoid glass on the third go around. I was tempted to purchase a pour over/safe for stove top use glass carafe but decided that I had enough with worrying about breaking the glass carafe. No more worries about it tipping over in the sink, on the counter, dropping it, chipping, the list goes on and on for anything made of glass. And the worse part when the glass breaks, its not the broken glass it the no coffee tomorrow morning part of it. As for the ease of use, just set it on top of your mug (my cup is a 20 oz) and pour the hot water into the reservoir. I wait about 30 seconds (since I use more water than the reservoir will accommodate) and then pour the rest of my hot water in, place the lid on top and come back in about 5 minutes for my hot cup of coffee. I don’t know why I waited a few months before writing this review because within the first week the OXO single serve pour over was a game changer. No worries about breaking anything, Pour your hot water into the reservoir, no need to wait and continually pour the hot water over the coffee grinds like other products. This allows me to do other things while the coffee is “brewing”. Once the well is empty, place the lid on the table top side down and you can sit the pour over right on top of it. Others have complained about the holes in the water reservoir being uneven and blaming poor manufacturing. From what I can tell this is by design, 6 holes all evenly spaced apart, every other hole drips faster than the one next to it. Sometimes this will create an indentation in the grinds as the water drips down. So for those first 30 seconds that I wait, I sometimes rotate the water reservoir slightly to even out the dripping. I say sometimes because that’s only if I remember to do so. Clean up is easy, remove the paper filter, quick wash and done. Never have to worry about breaking the glass carafe. With the OXO Brew Single Serve Pour-Over Coffee Maker there will be coffee tomorrow morning.

    This OXO pour over set up has been in use at my house for two years during the colder, hot coffee drinking months. It works great, and is superior to ordinary pour over funnels with its addition of a water chamber. I have found that it works best with a sturdy, wide bottomed mug. Even though I exclusively hand wash it, my partner has put it in the dishwasher a time or two. OXO says that it’s dishwasher safe, but the water chamber has sustained some small fissures. I would prefer that it was made of glass instead of plastic, especially since I have concerns about using such hot water in a plastic container. A ceramic base would also be preferable. It’s otherwise pretty perfect. I take it with me when I travel to avoid using those awful, wasteful coffee pod machines.
