OXO Brew Pour Over Coffee Maker With Water Tank

And even more so when I found and purchased a permanent gold filter for this pour over maker.At first I was using the filters papers supplied so I bought another batch of papers. In the meantime I was "missing" some of the "oiliness" of coffee as I had known and loved it for over 60 years. My favourite brew was simply coffee grounds in the jug, a small pinch of salt*, add water just off the boil, stir, wait for it to brew, then pass it through a sieve-like "coffee strainer" and enjoying quite a bit of the "sludge" in the bottom of the cup. Perhaps "cowboy coffee" may have been a fair description?Then I discovered that there was a permanent gold filter available for the Oxo pour over and immediately bought one. I now have the very best of both worlds. Easy to brew, easy to clean up, and most importantly, the *full* coffee experience that I have enjoyed and loved over a lifetime.I don't think this device can be beaten for ease and simplicity, *and* providing coffee the way that I like it.* re "small pinch of salt" - One day, many years ago, when working offshore in the oil patch I volunteered to make the coffee for the crew on break and went through the usual rituals. I was pulled up by an old Dutchman who said, "Hey, you forgot the salt!""Salt?" I asked, "What salt?""You should always put a pinch of salt in your coffee," he told me.A couple of other Dutch guys in the crew nodded their approval. I thought they were taking the P but I added some salt anyway. Since I tasted that coffee that day I have *always* added a pinxch of salt to my brew. Only when someone insists on "where did you get this beautiful coffee?" do I tell them my secret.Give it a try.

I purchased this for work so I no longer have to use the horrible and cheap instant they have there. I have to say I'm really pleased with this, it avoids all the faff of a cafetière and makes really nice filter coffee. Obviously the taste will depend on the actual coffee used, and I'm looking forward to exploring in this regard.I bought a reusable filter: Titanium Coated Steel Reusable Cone Coffee Filter With Elegant Flower Of Life Patern (No.2) - which is also a great product. It's slightly too big for the Oxo but still makes a great cup of coffee - I therefore haven't used the included paper filters, so can't comment on them.It may sound a bit cheapskate, but I actually reuse the coffee by leaving it in the filter and pouring more hot water into the Oxo, and I've managed to get three cups out of it (although the 3rd was a bit of a stretch). Otherwise, just using the coffee grounds once is a bit extravagant in my mind - like I say, maybe I'm a cheapskate!A really lovely cup of coffee from a really lovely contraption.

I love this coffee maker. I am the only coffee drinker in the house & love my real coffee in the morning. I did have a small cafetière, but it was messy & difficult to clean. I have also tried with just a filter cone over a mug - but judging how much water to pour in could be tricky...This has made life so much easier and means that I get a consistent mug of coffee every morning. I also find that I need less coffee than I did in my Bodum single cup/filter setup. Having the water tank to measure the water is excellent - and the way the water slowly drips through it ensures a good brew. I usually pre-warm my mug to ensure my coffee keeps hot for longer.It is very easy to clean - dispose of the filter and grounds in the composting bin then wash everything up.

I had to ease the tiny holes in the sprinkler before it would drip correctly, but that done it makes a great cup of coffee. Wish I'd bought one years ago.

Makes a really fantastic cup of coffee with so much ease. Not a lot of cleanup which is my problem with my french press, which I have abandoned completely in favor of this little thing. Nice measurements lines make it easy to see how much you're getting. I brew directly into my travel mug, toss out the grounds, just rinse the parts and set to dry. So delicious and so easy!

Like others I’ve given up on French press due to cleaning mess. This is clean, simple and delivers a great cup of coffee at a decent temperature which is helped by using the supplied lid on water tank as it is dripping. Whilst the kettle is boiling I take some of the warming water from it and put through the holder to wet paper and warm mug.

This is an easy and perfect method to make filter coffee.Plus, no nasty coffee grains at the bottom of the cup.I loved it. and it is not expensiveGo for it

I've been brewing pour over for years – V60 kettle, filters, and a burr grinder – but I wanted to try this to have a little less faff in the morning, since you can set it up and walk away. To my surprise, this gadget delivers a better, more consistent cup than anything I've used before. The controlled flow and the slightly reduced temperature (since the water sits in the reservoir before touching the coffee) all help bring out the best in the beans.A small thing, but the papers it comes with are really bad. Buy your own straight away.
