Delicious coffee is an art, and a science. There's art in extracting rich flavors and aromas from coffee beans, and science in hitting the perfect timing and temperature. The Oxo Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker heats water to the optimal temperature to help your favorite roast reach its full potential, and then maintains the temperature throughout the entire brewing process. Water is pumped to the brew basket at just the right times, starting with a short cycle that allows coffee to bloom for full flavor extraction. The intelligent microprocessor monitors time, temperature and volume from start to finish, ensuring perfect hand-crafted coffee. Just choose the number of cups and the Maker will do the rest. Our Barista Brain Coffee Maker consistently brews gold-standard coffee from the first cup to the last, as certified by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (Scaa).
