Which keeps coffee hot longer?

The original Brew 8-Cup's vacuum-insulated thermal carafe holds heat passively for hours. The newer model relies on a warming plate that runs 2 hours for a half carafe and 4 hours for a full one.

Can the newer model brew a single mug?

Yes. Its podless single-serve accessory brews 2 to 4 cups into the carafe or directly into a mug, and it changes extraction for a different flavor profile.

Is the newer model worth the extra?

Its lowest recent price was $176.73 on October 30, 2026, versus $179.97 on October 31, 2026. Pay the difference only if you want single-serve brewing and a bloom cycle; otherwise the original's thermal carafe is the better value.

Do both fit under kitchen cabinets?

Yes. Both are sized to fit under cabinets, and the newer model measures 7 x 10 x 13.5 inches.

Are both SCA certified?

Yes. Both carry Specialty Coffee Association certification, and the newer model is also NRTL listed.

Which is better for a household that drinks one or two cups?

The newer model, because its single-serve accessory brews small batches without wasting a full pot.

OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker vs OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker with Podless Single-Serve and Glass Carafe

Both are the same OXO 8-cup SCA-certified brewer, but the newer 871880/8722000 model adds podless single-serve brewing and a glass carafe with a timed warming plate. The original Brew 8-Cup is the better pick if you want a vacuum-insulated thermal carafe that keeps coffee hot without a hotplate. The newer model's lowest recent price was $176.73 on October 30, 2026, against a high of $179.97 on October 31, 2026.
