OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker 8722000 overview
This OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker 8722000 review looks at a drip brewer that makes a single mug or a full pot of ground coffee, with a glass carafe and a podless single-serve accessory.
OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker 8722000 at a glance
OXO says it is aimed at people who want ground coffee, a glass carafe, and a smaller 2-4 cup accessory routine. It is described as space-efficient and sized to fit under cabinets when not in use, and the glass-carafe version is listed as SKU 8722000. OXO lists it as 8 cups and 10.285 lbs.
Design and build
The design is compact and centered on a glass carafe.
Glass carafe and cabinet-friendly footprint
The related product page describes the carafe as double-wall, vacuum-insulated, and says the machine is space-efficient enough to fit under cabinets when not in use. That makes it easier to put away between brews without changing the basic setup.
Removable mug riser for tall travel mugs
The mug riser can be removed for tall travel mugs, so the brew area can handle a taller cup when needed. It is still a ground-coffee machine first, with the glass carafe staying at the center of the design.
Features and performance
Its main appeal is controlled brewing, even water distribution, and a small-batch option without pods.
BetterBrew control, Rainmaker, and bloom cycle
OXO says BetterBrew controls water temperature, water volume, and brewing time. The Rainmaker showerhead distributes water evenly over coffee grounds, and the integrated bloom cycle is meant for optimal flavor extraction. Tom's Guide reported a 6-cup brew usually took around five minutes from start to finish, with coffee at 175 degrees Fahrenheit immediately after brewing and 165 degrees after 20 minutes in the carafe, plus a rich, flavorful cup with no unpleasant acidic notes.
Single-serve brewing for 2-4 cups
The single-serve accessory is designed for brewing 2-4 cups into the carafe or directly into a mug. That gives the machine a smaller-batch option for days when a full pot is more than you need.
Filter sizes and replacement carafe compatibility
The accessory uses Kalita Wave Filter 185. The manual says the larger filters should be labeled as 8-12 cup filters, and OXO says the replacement glass carafe is compatible only with the OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker with Podless Single-Serve Function and Glass Carafe (8722000).
Warming plate timing for half and full carafes
The smart-timed warming plate comes on for two hours when brewing a half carafe and four hours when brewing a full carafe. That gives you a built-in hold time after a normal brew.
Cleaning and maintenance
Day-to-day upkeep is straightforward if you keep up with cleaning and descaling.
Dishwasher-safe parts and hand-wash care
OXO says the Rainmaker showerhead, brew basket, single-serve accessory, coffee scoop, and mug riser are top-rack dishwasher safe. The manual says to hand wash the glass carafe and lid.
Descaling reminder after 90 cycles
The clean button light turns on after every 90 cycles as a reminder to descale. The manual says the coffee maker will not work properly if it is not descaled regularly.
What owners say about the OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker 8722000
Published owner comments mostly focus on cup quality, consistency, and how easy the machine is to live with.
What owners praise about the OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker 8722000
On Reddit, owners commonly praise the coffee quality and say it makes a consistently good cup. They also mention that consistency improves once the brew settings are dialed in, and Home-Barista owners commonly like the single-cup option because it works well for solo drinkers. Several Reddit owners also describe it as relatively simple to live with day to day.
Common owner complaints to watch for
The complaints are practical. Owners on Reddit say the smaller-batch brewing setup can be finicky about using the correct size and mode, and that the carafe lid and pouring can be awkward or messy. Tom's Guide notes the lack of a timer or delay-brew feature, and says the smaller-batch filters are an unusual size that may be hard to find locally.
Who the OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker 8722000 is for
This brewer makes the most sense for shoppers who want ground coffee and a glass carafe.
Best for ground coffee, a glass carafe, and 2-4 cup brewing
It fits people who like the option to brew a mug, a 2-4 cup batch, or a full pot without moving to pods. It also suits buyers who want a smaller podless accessory routine and do not mind a machine that asks for a little more setup attention in small-batch mode.
Trade-offs to know
The main trade-off is convenience versus control.
Trade-offs of the small-batch setup
The small-batch side is less automatic than a basic one-mode drip machine, so the routine matters more if you brew smaller amounts often. If you want the simplest possible coffee maker, that extra attention is the part to think about.

It is a sensible pick for ground-coffee drinkers who want a glass carafe and the flexibility to brew small or large batches.
