NEWS – I’ve seen these little pour-over brewers before. They’re basically just a funnel with a filter inside; you dump all the water in and coffee quickly collects in your cup. Oxo’s Pour-Over Coffee Maker with Water Tank claims to make a better cup of coffee because of the way it distributes water over the coffee grounds.
Oxo says the water tank features a precise hole pattern that automatically distributes hot water evenly over coffee grounds at just the right rate to maximize flavor, and the dripper’s ribbed walls help encourage coffee flow to promote ideal brew time.
The tank is graduated for precise measurement of up to 12 ounces of water, so you won’t have to stand there waiting to pour in more water as it drips through. The tank’s lid helps retain heat as the coffee brews, then it can be used as a drip tray to hold the dripper after brewing is complete.
The Oxo Pour-Over Coffee Maker with Water Tank is $15.99 on Oxo’s website.

This all sounds like how my drip coffee maker works. I thought the point of pour over was the techniqie used by the barista couldn’t be easily matched by a machine.
I found one last Holiday season on clearance at my local Container Store, and picked it up. I like the fact I don’t have to measure out the water, and I can’t tell any difference from coffee brewed with my other filter cones.
