Like the sleek look this Oxo 8 cup coffee maker adds to my kitchen.  Easy to use and the convenience of switching from a single cup and carafe is a plus without losing that fresh brewed taste. When brewed it’s the perfect temperature but I wish the carafe would hold its temperature better. I prefer to just do smaller amounts in the carafe and repeating to make sure I always get the right temp or a single cup. Also at the end of the cycle a little puddle of water in the tank remains and needs to be wiped out. Overall the Oxo brews a nice cup of coffee.
