Which is better for a single coffee drinker?

The OXO. Its podless single-serve accessory brews 2–4 cups directly into a mug, so you don't make a full pot. The Breville's smallest batch is larger.

Which makes better-tasting coffee?

Both are SCA certified. The Breville gives you more control with adjustable bloom time and flow rate. The OXO's Rainmaker showerhead and bloom cycle are tuned for even extraction out of the box.

Is the Breville worth the extra $60?

Yes if you need 12 cups, a programmable timer, or cold brew. If you brew 8 cups or fewer, the OXO covers the basics for less.

Which keeps coffee hot longer?

The Breville. Its thermal carafe holds heat without a hot plate. The OXO uses a timed warming plate that runs 2 to 4 hours.

Can either make cold brew?

Only the Breville. The OXO is drip only.

Which is easier to clean?

The OXO has a cleaning mode with a reminder light after 90 cycles. The Breville is hand wash only and not dishwasher safe.
