Your perfectly crafted cup of coffee is not at the end of a long line or dependent on a barista’s whim – it’s in the palm of your hand. The OXO Rapid Brewer makes rich concentrated coffee, on the spot, which you’ll then dilute with water or milk in a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio. No plugs, no charging, no fuss. Roughly the size of your thermos, the Rapid Brewer fits easily in your backpack or purse. Forget expensive pods and paper filters — the OXO Rapid Brewer features a built-in stainless steel filter and comes with a tamper to level the coffee bed, ensuring even flavor extraction. Just add finely ground coffee to the fill line, tamp firmly, add water to the fill line, and wait two minutes for hot concentrated coffee, five minutes for smooth low-acid cold brew. Then unlock the pump by turning it a quarter turn and pump your concentrated coffee into the carafe. (The pump also locks in place for safe storage on the go.) Pour your concentrated coffee into a serving mug or glass, and dilute with water, milk or ice in a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio. And the best part? You can adjust the amount of coffee grounds you use, the water volume and temperature to produce concentrated coffee that is precisely the flavor you love. Then use the concentrated coffee to craft just about any coffee drink — from an Americano to a Vietnamese-style cold brew, or even affogato — the possibilities are limitless.

Very Good!
With a pneumatic plunger, it is between a French Press and a pour-over. Easy to use, easy to clean, nicely made. True, it is small but makes a concentrated coffee that you would then dilute 1 to 2, or 1 to 3. Our goal was to make a quick cold brew–works great. All parts washable, except the plunger is non-submersible–just rinse with running water. And, yes, you need a good quality coffee grinder to get the required fine grind to tamp down. We have an excellent one from OXO. The engineers have put much thought and ingenuity into this product and design. Use it as intended! Be happy! Watch their video. For overnight cold brew, we have OXO’s larger cold brewer. Small one is great for camping, too.

Fantastic brewer that requires proper grinds
This brewer is a dream come true. No exaggeration. For over a decade, Iâve been trying to find a device that can process a proper cold brew. This does it in spades. Hot concentrate is great too. But the key for this to work correctly is the grind you use. The video OXO published with this item says to use fine ground coffee. No way if you use fine grinds will this brewer pump our coffee fast like the video. If you want fast processing with this, you have to use a medium drip grind. The coffee will cone out lighter than full-blast, but still strongâ¦Where this brewer shines is when youâre willing to use fine grinds and patience. A fine grind hot brew takes maybe an extra 5-7 mins. Youâll have to do multiple pumps over that span. But the coffee comes out strong and excellent. For cold brew, you have to use fine grinds. Medium grinds produce pretty weak + flavorless cold brew in my experience. The time it takes to cold brew requires real patience. Weâre talking 15-20 mins. BUT, the brew will be phenomenal. In the level of the best cold brew Iâve ever tasted. Again, you can go a little coarser on your grind for cold brew, but brew time will be over 5 mins (as the video shows) if you want any kind of good quality cold coffee.

I’m obsessed!
If you need or want espresso but don’t want to buy some huge, expensive unit that takes up your whole counter and is a pain to clean… Or if you like to travel with your own coffee this thing is amazing!!! I’ve used it everyday since my husband got it for me. Functions beautifully, brews quickly, is easy to operate and clean, tastes amazing and makes plenty. I’ve made full strength lattes for my husband, decaf for me and cold espresso for cocktails all with just a simple clean in between.

Not worth it
I usually love Oxo stuff and try and buy their products as much as possible. However this product is a big fail. When you do as they instruct the water passes through way to much. I would think if you played around with the grounds and got the exact grind correct and put the right pressure on the tamper it would work better. But I did not want to have to tinker with it. I even tried a filter in the bottom next to their filter and slowed it down some, but is just pours through. I forget about trying it with any teas. However, a very slight change in their design would make this a winner. By putting a sliding disk or a flip up lid or something on the bottom next to the filter would hold the water in until you released it. Then you could time it for however you want, then push the pump down and voila, you have tea or coffee. No worry about the grind also. It is a very slight redisgn to make it a good product. But as now I cannot recommend it for the average person.BTW, I am an inventor that has over 40 patents to his name in various fields.

Oxo Rapid Brewer vs. Aeropress
I have been looking for years for a coffee brewing system that would: 1) produce great tasting coffee, 2) be simple and quick; 3) simplify cleanup. You can see my progress in the first photo. I lean towards french press for the taste, but not for quick or easy.When I discovered Aeropress 4 years ago, I liked the simplicity and speed, and the ability to vary grind, temperature and time in search of the “perfect” gourmet taste. Let me add that I make coffee for 2 every morning, so the original Aeropress slowed me down; I had to brew two batches to make two 14 oz mugs. Cue the Aeropress XL, which makes enough concentrate for a liter of coffee Americano. It checked all my boxes.When Oxo Brew Rapid Brewer appeared this year, I had to see if it could beat the Aeropress. I did side-by-side comparison for a week with the same water temperature, same amount and grind of coffee, following manufacturer’s brewing instructions. Here is how they compare for me:SIMPLICITY AND CLEANUPThe Aeropress has 4 necessary parts: brewing chamber, plunger, filter holder, and paper or metal filter. If you throw away your paper filter with each brew (not strictly necessary) you can plunge the spent grounds directly into the compost bin, splash some water on the device and cleanup is complete.The Oxo has 3 essential parts: brewing chamber, water chamber, and air pump. Cleanup is easy, but it involves knocking the brew chamber against the side of your bin, then rinsing and wiping the bottom parts. Life expectancy of the air pump is unknown, whereas the Aeropress will probably live forever and if not, the plunger gasket, the only part that wears, is cheap. Winner: AeropressSPEED.Aeropress recipes usually call for brewing 1-2 minutes, then plunging. The plunging part can take 30-45 seconds and requires much more effort than the air pump of the Oxo. I want to award this one to Oxo because the time is nearly the same and it is so much easier to operate. But I do have to go back to making two batches like with the early Aeropress. Hello, OXO? Is the Oxo XL coming?TASTEThis is what it is really about, isn’t it? Oxo beat Aeropress, and I am not going back. Try it for yourself.P.S.I did not experience any excessive leaking. Users who reported this problem may not have ground their beans fine enough, or not tightened the parts as instructed, or had a faulty brewer.
