Yes. It is certified by the Specialty Coffee Association for meeting its home brewing standards on temperature, volume and time.

Does it have a programmable timer?

No. This model has no clock or programmable start, so you start each brew by hand.

Can it brew into a travel mug?

Yes. Flip the well cover for shorter mugs or remove it for tall travel mugs, and brew a single cup directly into the mug.

How does the carafe keep coffee hot?

It is double-wall and vacuum-insulated, so it holds heat without a warming plate. Preheating it with hot water improves retention.

What is the single-serve accessory?

It is an optional add-on filter that sits in the large basket to improve flavor when brewing one mug. It is not included.

Can you pour a cup while it brews?

Yes. The brew-through, pour-through lid and drip-free valve let you pour mid-cycle without stopping the brew.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers rate it as one of the better SCA-certified drip brewers in its class, praising the even extraction and the carafe that keeps coffee hot without scorching it. Complaints center on the lack of a timer and on the extra step of preheating the carafe.

About the OXO Brew 8 Cup Coffee Maker (8718800)

The OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker brews anywhere from a single mug to a full pot. BetterBrew precision brewing controls water temperature, water volume and brewing time. It is certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) for meeting its home brewing standards.

A Rainmaker showerhead spreads water evenly over the grounds, and an integrated bloom cycle supports flavor extraction. The double-wall, vacuum-insulated thermal carafe keeps coffee hot. Its brew-through, pour-through lid lets you pour without opening the carafe lid. A drip-free valve lets you pour a cup while the machine is still brewing.

The coffee maker can also brew a single cup directly into a travel mug. Flip the well cover to raise shorter mugs, or remove it to make room for tall travel mugs. An optional single-serve accessory fits in the large basket: add a filter to the accessory, then place it in the basket. The stainless steel body is sized to fit under cabinets, and a cleaning mode is included.
