OXO Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker with Stainless Steel Carafe, Matte Black

This coffee maker is easy to use and pretty to look at an I am delighted to have given myself the gift of easy delicious coffee. I usually drink French Press coffee, but I needed a way to make coffee with zero mess from coffee grounds. This machine brews delicious tasting coffee and the carafe keeps it nice and hot to the last drop. I also find it easy to clean which it also high priority when I shop for stuff like this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My older Cusinart machine was still functioning when I bought this machine on sale. I am very glad bc this machine is more streamlined and trustworthy than my older machine. One feature I'm glad for is the water reservoir and grounds basket having a bit of separation between them. In my older machine, any infrequent failures during brewing, like a grounds overflow, would make a terrible mess in the water reservoir due to their close proximity ( under one lid) that would take a lot of cleaning and flushing to remedy. Not an issue with this design. I also think the metal vs glass carafe is great for cleaning without concern of broken glass in the metal sink during frequent, vigorous cleaning.
