OXO's 9-cup brewer delivers SCA-certified brew quality at roughly two thirds the price of a Moccamaster. The rainmaker showerhead saturates the grounds evenly, and the single-dial interface is genuinely pleasant to use. It is programmable, it keeps coffee hot without a burnt-tasting hot plate, and it produces consistently good coffee batch after batch. If you want a no-nonsense drip machine that just works, this is it.
