The OXO Brew 9 Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker, featuring a sleek design with a black base and stainless steel carafe.

Setup and First Use

Unpacking and Initial Cleaning

1. Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the coffee maker for any damage.
2. Wash the carafe, brew basket, and shower head cover with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
3. Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.

Preparing for First Brew

1. Place the coffee maker on a flat, stable surface.
2. Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water up to the 9-cup mark.
3. Insert a paper filter into the brew basket. Do not add coffee grounds for the initial cleaning cycle.
4. Place the carafe on the heating plate.
5. Plug the coffee maker into a grounded electrical outlet.

Initial Cleaning Cycle

Before brewing coffee for consumption, run a full cycle with only water to clean the internal components.

1. With water in the tank and an empty filter in the brew basket, press the brew button to start a cycle.
2. Allow the cycle to complete. Discard the water from the carafe.
3. Your coffee maker is now ready for use.

Operating Instructions

Brewing Coffee

1. Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water to your desired level (up to 9 cups).
2. Place a paper filter into the brew basket.
3. Add your preferred amount of medium-ground coffee to the filter. A general guideline is 1 tablespoon of coffee per cup of water, adjusting to taste.
4. Ensure the thermal carafe is properly placed on the base.
5. Use the single dial to select the number of cups you wish to brew. The display will show the selected amount.
6. Press the dial to start the brewing process. The coffee maker will preheat water to the optimal temperature (194-205°F) before brewing begins.

The OXO Brew Coffee Maker preheats water to the SCA-preferred temperature range of 194°F to 205°F for optimal flavor extraction.

The Rainmaker shower head ensures even dispersion of water over coffee grounds for consistent saturation and rich flavor.

Pause and Pour Feature

You can temporarily remove the carafe during the brewing cycle to pour a cup of coffee. The drip-stop mechanism will prevent coffee from dripping onto the heating plate. Return the carafe to its position within 20 seconds to prevent overflow.

The double-wall thermal carafe keeps coffee hot, and its design allows for easy pouring.

Setting the Wake-Up Timer

The OXO Brew Coffee Maker features a programmable wake-up timer, allowing you to set a specific time for brewing to begin automatically.

1. With the coffee maker plugged in, turn the dial to enter the time setting mode.
2. Rotate the dial to adjust the hour and minute, then press to confirm.
3. Once the current time is set, you can set the auto-brew time. Refer to the display for prompts.
4. Ensure water and coffee grounds are loaded before the set auto-brew time.

The single dial allows for easy programming of brew settings and the wake-up timer.

Care and Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

• After each use, discard the used coffee filter and grounds.
• Wash the brew basket, carafe, and shower head cover with warm, soapy water. These parts are top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Wipe down the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.
• Empty and clean the drip tray regularly.

Regularly clean the removable drip tray to maintain hygiene and prevent spills.

Descaling

Mineral deposits from water can build up over time and affect performance. Descale your coffee maker every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.

1. Fill the water tank with a solution of one part white vinegar to two parts water.
2. Place an empty paper filter in the brew basket and the carafe on the base.
3. Run a full brew cycle.
4. After the cycle, let the coffee maker sit for 30 minutes with the solution inside.
5. Run two full cycles with fresh, clean water to rinse thoroughly.
