Back in September, we turned into overly caffeinated and extremely hyper versions of ourselves as we set out to find thebest drip coffee makeron the market. We tested 14 different models because there's no better way to start the day than waking up to astrong cup of coffeethat's made in a machine at the press of a button. Low effort, high return.
Of the models we tested, theOXO On Barista Brain 9 Cup Coffee Makerwas in the top three, and the good news is, it's currently $40 off at Amazon (down from $200 to $160). In our rankings, the OXO coffee maker made was tied with theBonavita 8-Cup Brewerfor first place based on performance, but it came in second mostly because of its size—it takes up more counter-space than the Bonavita, and most of us at Epicurious havetiny kitchens(we're based in New York City, after all). But if counter-space isn't a huge issue for you, there's nothing holding you back.
毕竟,含氧的咖啡师是那些smar之一ter-than-you-are-in-the-morning brewers, with a programmable wake-up timer, LED display, precise temperature control, and a vacuum-insulated stainless steel carafe. Here's more about theOXO On Baristafromour review:
"This coffee maker is very easy to operate, has a pretty design, comes with an excellent insulated carafe, and even offers a few extra features that theBonavitalacks. Like the Bonavita, the OXO has precise, temperature-controlled brewing: it keeps the water between 197.6–204.8° F. At the end of brewing, like the Bonavita, it was clear the OXO had evenly distributed water over the grounds. (Some coffee makers had dry spots in the grounds, which definitely led to an inferior pot of coffee.) The OXO brewed a nice-tasting cup of coffee, and the machine was super easy to use. It took only about 5 minutes to brew a full pot of coffee."
