OXOBrew Rapid Brewer

I'm very surprised how great it is working even with some cheap ground coffee I own, the plumber is very easy to operate and the concentrate produced easily makes 2 cups of great coffee drinks.Is it also amazing how well the permanent filter works, I once worried it being some marketing gimmick and requires single use filters anyway, nope I was wrong, you can gently scrub off used ground coffee easily, even without adding any cleaning solution so it can go into trash bags instead of kitchen sink, avoiding potential clog.I still clean it by hand after a week of use, I understand it is dish washer safe but just want it to last longer.My only complaint is it doesn't come with a screw on cap for the bottom so the permanent filter isn't covered when not in use(the small cup itself doesn't mount to the main body in anyway during transportation), I don't think it will survive in my backpack bumping around the keys and other sharp items.

I like cold brew concentrate. My Toddy takes 12 hours, so you have to start brewing in the morning. With the new food waste laws, it can be hard to dispose of a pound of wet grounds. I can brew smaller amounts faster by sous vide, or by my FoodSaver or jar vacuum-but those methods are potentially messy. I like the Oxo. I can vacuum ground beans in a Mason jar and brew several batches quite easily, store the concentrate in the fridge and quickly make good coffee every morning. My Oxo is well-made, simple to use, has great instructions, is easy to clean, and stores neatly and easily. I highly recommend it.

This has changed my coffee-making routine for the better. Super convenient and quick to use. It's so simple you'd think it was magic. Easy to assemble and clean, and doesn't require any batteries or loud noises when using. This is an affordable alternative to those looking for a quick cup of coffee in the morning without all the hassle of a large traditional coffee maker.

The media could not be loaded. Still figuring out the settings for the right brew as I am not happy with the directions listed. I found out a pleasant surprise, Aeropress filters will fit into the brew chamber so you can make sure no coffee grounds get through( a bit of problem with finer grinds and less worry for cleanup). You can take this a step further by wetting the paper with boiling water (not for taste but better adherence to the brew chamber and adding heat to the chamber before brewing). Not surprisingly water will take time to go through the paper and metal filter, to get over this issue use the pump and screw it onto the brew chamber and give a few presses. Now the paper is form fitted and all excess water has been removed ready for coffee. Overall I want to like this thing more than an aeropress due to price but time and experimenting will tell if it can do better hot coffee. Have not tried the cold brew method with this I got another method for that in the kitchen.

First I might be a little bias as I like OXO products as they all seem to be very high quality and always reliable. I love this as I can easily make espresso or like an Americano, I can simply double the volume with additional hot water as recommended in the instructions. Quick and easy, simply grind your fresh roasted beans to a slightly coarse espresso size grain size, and then add it to your OXO as instructed, and tamper it once you have the correct amount. Add your boiling water to the line indicated and give it a full 1 to 1.5 minutes to bloom. Then press a few times and you will have some nice amazing espresso which will need to be diluted for coffee strength. If you go over 1.5 minutes, it will lean a bit more bitter. So far I've made about 16 batches using 5 different freshly roasted coffee beans and the majority have been exceptional. Easy to break down for cleaning, and easy to use. Very nice and would highly recommend if you like a nice strong coffee.

Really an all plastic hot water chamber in 2025? OXO requests it's customers to let boiling hot water sit in plastic for 2 minutes.Design function = 9/10 (it really works great)Material choice = 2/10 (I don't care if it's BPA free - what about degradation over time)?I have a Staresso and the water chamber plus most water touching parts are stainless. For the large volume OXO does, they couldn't spare $1-2 FOB more to line the hot water chamber w/ stainless sheet metal?Epic fail to design a product with that much land-fill plastic in 2025!

I didn't know what to think before I got this brewer. Now I've been using it every day. This is creating some of the best cold brew I've ever had. If you follow the instructions and use an espresso grind on the coarse side and let it brew for 5 minutes, you'll get a really strong concentrate. With a 2:1 ratio with water, it's perfect. I don't drink hot coffee, so this was something that I was looking forward to using for travel. It's really simple to use. It's easy and the coffee is incredible.

I usually love Oxo stuff and try and buy their products as much as possible. However this product is a big fail. When you do as they instruct the water passes through way to much. I would think if you played around with the grounds and got the exact grind correct and put the right pressure on the tamper it would work better. But I did not want to have to tinker with it. I even tried a filter in the bottom next to their filter and slowed it down some, but is just pours through. I forget about trying it with any teas. However, a very slight change in their design would make this a winner. By putting a sliding disk or a flip up lid or something on the bottom next to the filter would hold the water in until you released it. Then you could time it for however you want, then push the pump down and voila, you have tea or coffee. No worry about the grind also. It is a very slight redisgn to make it a good product. But as now I cannot recommend it for the average person.BTW, I am an inventor that has over 40 patents to his name in various fields.
