OXOBrew 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 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'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.

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.

Great product - makes great coffee. Moisten coffee grounds , place water reservoir on top of cone, pour hot water into reservoir then place lid on top. Wait a few minutes, then collect delious fresh coffee! Rinses clean or pop in dishwasher. Easy, eco and looks good.

Perfect for my pour over filter coffee. No more standing pouring water gently and carefully over the coffee. It does the job for you. Coffee flavour is not affected at all by the change in method.

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.

Item is of great quality for its price point. It makes a lovely cup of coffee due to the drip holes in the water reservoir. You can get these without the reservoir weer you pour the water in slowly but this is much easier and more consistent. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another when I undoubtably drop this one!
