Oxo’s Golden Cup-certified Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker now available for purchase – CNET [CNET]

ready to buy. This compact machine is aggressively priced, and aimed squarely at the top dog in the automatic drip world, the $190 Bonavita Connoisseur.

With a compact frame and sleeker lines, the Oxo Brew 8-Cup certainly looks better than Bonavita’s stockier champion. The question remains whether the Oxo Brew can match the Connoisseur’s outstanding speed and coffee-making prowess. It won our Editors’ Choice Award for a reason — it makes delicious joe at a reasonable price.

Still, Oxo says that the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) has anointed the 8-Cup with its Golden Cup certification. Which according to Oxo guarantees the kitchen appliance will deliver coffee that’s good to the last drop. I definitely plan to put Oxo’s bold claims to the test as soon as possible.
