The OXO 9-Cup Coffee Maker is hands down the best coffee maker that I’ve ever owned! It heats the water up to the proper temperature, and then showers and sprinkles the water over the grounds. Between the temperature, and the showering of water, the grounds get saturated slowly instead of water just pouring right over them. This brings out the delicious taste of the coffee, and the hints of flavors that you just don’t get with other coffee makers. The included measuring scoop makes for the precise amount of coffee, it’s perfect every time. My family and I have never had such delicious coffee, I can’t live without this amazing coffee maker. It’s very easy to use. Just plug it in, set the time, set the amount of cups you want brewed, add the water, filter and coffee and you’re ready to go. This is the best coffee maker that I’ve ever owned! I like my coffee, and this makes the best cup of coffee that I’ve ever personally tasted!
