Oxo Compact vs Goodful Side-by-Side Comparison
OXO Compact cold brew coffee maker vs Goodful. A compact brewer that brews for quality vs a large brewer for below par quantity.
Oxo Cold Brew Compact
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Goodful
Tested Using Methodology v1.0Overall Verdict
The OXO Compact is a free-style cold brew coffee maker. Its brewing method is somewhat unique. Grounds are not stirred, but left undisturbed and water is distributed via its proprietary rainshower dripper. It produces one of the strongest cold brew concentrates we have tested.
The OXO requires a fair bit of shelf space to brew ( HD: 7 in x 5.1 in ), but the concentrate empties into a small decanter which you can easily store in a refrigerator door. The Goodful, on the other hand, is only for brewing in a refrigerator door and may not fit a small refrigerator.
The Goodful is also an immersion filter brew using a brew ratio of 1:18. Therefore, the brew quality is somewhat insubstantial. Furthermore, the lid design is clunky and the quality of the materials unknown. The Goodful is also very similar to the Takeya which is an all round better proposition.
