Its dishwasher-safe components make it easy to clean, while the slow pour spout allows for a controlled and flavorful brewing experience. ## Description Using hi-tech photo-etching technology, Sowden has developed a micro-thin filter with more than half a million microscopic holes giving outstanding filtering ability and making it possible to produce what we call SoftBrew Coffee. Put your preferred amount of ground coffee into the filter and pour in hot water, just off the boil. Let it brew for four to eight minutes and your coffee is ready. It is that simple. Nothing to worry about except the hot water. We have followed our principle of reducing things to a minimum in order to make coffee brewing the simple treat it is supposed to be and bringing out the natural flavour of coffee. The new Sowden SoftBrew filter is definitely an easy way of brewing an excellent cup of natural coffee. ## Features - Easy to clean - All parts dishwasher safe - High quality porcelain - 18/8 Stainless steel filter - Slow pour spout ## Images ![Oskar SoftBrew Coffee Maker with Scoop, 4-Cup - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41cEKbRGaNL.jpg) ![Oskar SoftBrew Coffee Maker with Scoop, 4-Cup - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71P58YCXULL.jpg) ![Oskar SoftBrew Coffee Maker with Scoop, 4-Cup - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GXyIMqVVL.jpg) ![Oskar SoftBrew Coffee Maker with Scoop, 4-Cup - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81T3RtSUt8L.jpg) ![Oskar SoftBrew Coffee Maker with Scoop, 4-Cup - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nFRdcc8IL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How is this different than a french press, or is it?** A: It's basically a French press, but without the pressing. The brew is similar to a press, but allows much less sludge into your cup (some does still get through, but wildly less than with a French Press).It's much easier to clean, and has fewer parts (there are three parts: the carafe, the filter, and the lid), and due to the microholes in the filter, you have more flexibility in the grind - anything from medium-fine to coarse works OK, unlike a press, in which coarse grind works best. You also have the flexibility to allow the grounds to "bloom" before the main brewing, which is nice. It DOES take some experimentation, in the amount of grounds, the grind, the length of the brewing, how to let the grounds bloom - stuff like that - until you wind up with a decent cup. I found that using instructions meant for the Eva Solo brewer worked best as a starting point than any other brewing method. But my first few cups were pretty watery until I figured it out.I got my best results by doing the following:1. Preheat the carafe by filling it with hot tapwater, and letting it sit while you do the rest of your tasks.2. Grind your beans, and place them in the filter basket, next to the carafe.3. Heat the appropriate amount of water using the method of your choice.4. When the water is ready, dump out the pre-heat water from the carafe, and place the filter and grounds in the carafe.5. Pour water over the grounds until they are evenly wet. Then pour the rest of the water down the Softbrew spout (this disturbs the grounds less).6. Let the grounds sit for one minute to bloom (they will be frothy and float on the top of water).7. Using the back of a spoon, press the grounds under the surface of the water and stir gently just a bit. 8. Put the lid on the brewer. Let sit for 1 minute (some grounds will float to the surface again).9. Remove the lid, push the grounds down again, and stir gently, replace the lid.10. Let it sit for 3 minutes. Serve.The main things to experiment with are the amount of grounds needed (I use 1 TBSP of whole beans per 8 ounces, but most people like it stronger), and the final brew time.I empty the filter basket into the compost (I have a rubber spatula that works well for this), then rinse all parts well. I run the carafe and lid through the diswasher and handwash the filter in hot soapy water 1x/week. I soak the filter in vinegar overnight every couple of months (probably just wiping it with vinegar would be good enough, though). **Q: Can someone be more specific? What EXACTLY is 4 cups or 8 cups in mL or fl oz?** A: Hi, one cup is 8 ounces. A typical coffee mug is more than that, probably closer to 12 oz. We get around 4-5 of our size cups out of the 8 cup coffee maker. Hope this helps. **Q: Can you put this coffee maker on a hot pad on low to keep it warm?** A: Sowden recommends a candle warmer to keep the pot warm, not a hot plate, other electrical device. If you pre-heat the pot with boiling water prior to brewing -- and you should for better brewed coffee -- the pot will keep warm for roughly 20 minutes. Sowden states that the coffee is kept at an acceptable drinking temperature (70° to 85° C) for up to 20 minutes. http://www.sowdenathome.com/sowden-softbrew-coffee-frequently-asked-questions/ **Q: what is the difference between the oskar model and the regular sowden?** A: The names (Oskar, Joe, James, Jakob) are just different aesthetic designs. They all work the same way. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely DELICIOUS Coffee! *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2014* The Sowden Softbrew uses a patented microfilter, but it is still a "low-tech" method for making coffee--dump in coffee, add hot water, and wait a few minutes. The result is absolutely DELICIOUS coffee! (For my fellow coffee geeks who may be unfamiliar with this product, the end result tastes somewhere in the middle between pourover and French Press.) I have now brewed quite a few pots, and I have used a fairly fine grind (not as fine as espresso, but close) all the way up to an extremely coarse grind, all with good results and no clogging. There is some sediment, but not much, and the bulk of it is left in the bottom of the pot. The way the pot is shaped helps in this regard. Occasionally there is some sediment in my cup, but like French Press, Turkish, etc, I just don't drink the last sip.The pot pours smoothly and beautifully--you don't have to worry about uncontrolled splashes of coffee going everywhere. Clean-up is quick and easy, and all parts can go in the dishwasher after rinsing. Further, with the filter removed, the pot can even go into the microwave for preheating--just run some tap water into it, pop it in the mic for a minute, and then empty it before brewing. (Although I haven't found this to be necessary, it is an option I have tried, and it does work.) The porcelain pot retains heat well, so your second cup will be nice and hot, too.Be advised that the description refers to 5 oz cups (I recognized that prior to purchase, but it seems to take some folks by surprise, so this pot will make up to 40 ounces of absolutely wonderful coffee. I roast my own coffee and own a number of different brewing devices, including a Bunn Phase Brew, a Bonavita Immersion Dripper, a pourover cone, an Aeropress, a Yama Vacuum Pot, a quality espresso machine, A Moka Pot, an Ibrik, and more. The Softbrew is one of my favorites. It is beautiful and a conversation piece, and you can also make cold-brew coffee with it, adding to its value.Highest recommendation ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Takes some tweaking *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2014* A couple things they don't tell you but you need to know.- This makes a great cup of coffee but it takes more time than they suggest. Start by using more coffee than they recommend - a little more than you would use for a drip coffee maker. In my case it turned out to be twice as much as they suggest, but then I do like strong coffee. Next, they suggest letting it sit for "a few minutes'' after pouring the hot water in. That will get you some hot colored water. If you want full flavor, you need to let it sit for at least 10 minutes.- Other reviews point out that the carafe does not keep the coffee hot long. They are correct. The second cup is going to need 30 seconds in a microwave (not a big deal to me).- Reviews also suggest that cleaning is a hassle. Not so! But there are some things they don't tell you. Do not try to wipe out the grounds with a paper towel - that seems to force them into the little holes. And wash from the outside in - the force of the water separates the grounds from the filter that way.If you've read this far, you are obviously interested. I'd recommend buying it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Simple, stylish, and makes good coffee. Needs better insulation and better filtration. *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2015* I like this brewing method. For the last few years I've been making pour-over coffee with paper filters with good results, but don't like how all the good oils get trapped by the filter. I tried a friend's French press for a couple weeks and liked how it keeps the oils in the coffee but didn't like all the sediment that gets through and found the results very inconsistent and often bitter.The Sowden is better, smaller amount of fines in the coffee (still a bit too much for my tastes) but a great full flavor (even from cheap pre-ground coffee!) without being too bitter. The filter and grounds can be easily removed after the desired steep time by simply lifting it out. I'm still experimenting, but around 5 minutes seems to give good results.I deducted one star since, as other reviews have mentioned, it isn't well insulated and cools down too fast. Even if I pre-heat the pot with boiling water, it only stays hot for about 30 minutes. You either have to drink fast, reheat the later cups, or transfer the coffee to a properly insulated carafe.Deducted another star, since I'm getting too much sediment in the coffee, regardless of grind.My best results have been decanting the 1st 2/3 of the pot directly into an insulated carafe, then pouring the last 1/3 through a pour-over filter. That keeps most of the oils, gets rid of most of the sediment, and keeps the coffee hot. Unfortunately, it turns what should be a simple process into a complicated one.Pros: makes great coffee, easy to use, easy to clean, works with pretty much any grind, just not too fine.Cons: cools down too fast, still lets in too many fine particles. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8392153-oskar-softbrew-coffee-maker-with-scoop-4-cup](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8392153-oskar-softbrew-coffee-maker-with-scoop-4-cup) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
