Yes. OXO says it meets the Specialty Coffee Association's home brewing standards for temperature, volume and time.

Does it have a programmable timer?

No. There is no clock or timer, so you start each brew by hand.

Can it brew a single cup?

Yes. It brews into a mug or travel mug, and an optional single-serve accessory improves one-mug flavor.

How do I keep the coffee hot?

The double-wall vacuum-insulated carafe holds heat without a hot plate; preheating it with hot water helps.

Is the carafe dishwasher safe?

No. OXO says to hand wash the carafe and lid with mild detergent.

How does it compare with the Bonavita Connoisseur?

Both are SCA-certified eight-cup brewers. The OXO adds a pour-through thermal carafe and single-mug brewing; the Bonavita is simpler with fewer parts.

About the OXO Coffee Maker - 8 Cup

The OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker brews anything from a single mug to a full pot. Its 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.

The Rainmaker showerhead spreads water evenly over the coffee grounds, and an integrated bloom cycle supports flavor extraction. The double-wall, vacuum-insulated thermal carafe keeps coffee hot without a heating element under the carafe. Its brew-through, pour-through lid lets you pour without opening the carafe lid.

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 fit tall travel mugs. An optional single-serve accessory is included: add a filter to it, then place it in the large basket to brew. The stainless steel design is space-efficient for countertops, and a cleaning mode helps maintain the machine.
