Summary
Wirecutter's top drip pick and CNET's best overall — it nails SCA Golden Cup standards with a programmable timer that the Moccamaster lacks. A strong choice for people who want convenience alongside quality.
The coffee-nerd consensus pick for drip brewing. Brews fast, tastes exceptional, and is built to last decades — not years.
Pros
- SCA-certified Golden Cup brewer for optimal extraction
- Programmable auto-brew timer — only top pick with this feature per Wirecutter
- Compact and stylish design fits most countertops
- Consistently top-ranked by both CNET and Wirecutter in independent testing
- Brews a full carafe in under 6 minutes at optimal temperature
- Built like a tank — Dutch-made with metal and durable components
- SCA-certified for Golden Cup brewing standards
- Widely praised by both coffee enthusiasts and casual drinkers
Cons
- 9-cup capacity is smaller than many competing models
- Plastic components raise some concerns for microplastic-conscious buyers
- Less community buzz than the Moccamaster among coffee enthusiasts
- Expensive at $300-$350 compared to budget drip makers
- No programmable auto-brew timer on most models
- No built-in grinder — you'll need to buy one separately
Our take
The OXO is the pick for people who want great coffee AND the ability to wake up to a pre-brewed pot. It's the most feature-complete quality drip maker under $300.
If you only buy one drip coffee maker, buy this. Reddit's coffee communities and expert reviewers agree more on the Moccamaster than almost anything else in the kitchen appliance space.
