The art of perfect coffee,
down to an exact science

A delicious cup of coffee is art and science combined; the art

of extracting rich avors and aromas from coffee grounds, and

the science of time and temperature colliding in just the right

way, at just the right moment.

The OXO Barista Brain Coffee Maker heats water to the optimal

temperature to help your favorite roast reach its full potential,

and precisely maintains that temperature throughout the
entire brewing process. Water is pumped to the brew basket

in perfectly timed cycles, starting with a short cycle that
allows coffee to bloom for full avor extraction. The intelligent
microprocessor monitors time, temperature and volume from
start to nish, ensuring the precision of hand-crafted coffee

with the ease of ordering at your favorite local coffee shop.

You choose the number of cups and we’ll do the rest, creating

a pot of perfection every time.
