Whether you’re brewing a single mug or a full pot, the OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker ensures a better-tasting cup-every time. Engineered with BetterBrew precision brewing to control water temperature, water volume and brewing time. The double-wall, vacuum-insulated thermal carafe keeps your coffee hot. Easily run the convenient cleaning mode to keep the machine in tip-top shape. The Coffee Maker can also brew a single cup of coffee right into your favorite travel mug.While many coffee makers have a heating element under the carafe, this can sometimes result in a bitter, burned or condensed brew. To maintain the quality of the coffee, the Better Brew precision of our 8-cup Coffee Maker relies instead on a thermal carafe, which prevents heat loss, rather than reheatingIf you prefer your coffee hotter, we recommend using a double-walled insulated mug and preheating any milk or creamer you add to your coffee. The greatest heat loss happens when coffee is poured from the carafe to the mug. Color: Stainless Steel.
