Has anyone compared the taste of coffee made by oxo machine and chemex?

My brother has a chemex which makes excellent coffee. I however prefer the oxo. In the couple of weeks we have had it, my wife and I have enjoyed some of the best coffee we have ever made at home. The oxo is very convenient, put your water and coffee in, turn it on and come backed 8 minutes later to a full pot of coffee. The chemex needs to be tended to as you make it. Both taste great but I would take the oxo for a daily coffee maker.

Can anybody please tell me where I can buy parts for this thing?

When I rated this coffee maker one star, it was exactly because I could not replace the faulty pour-stop brew basket; I had to purchase another entire unit in order to have a correctly functioning coffee maker. Rebecca with OXO wrote to me saying "Thank you for leaving us a review on Amazon.com. I am so sorry to hear that the pour-stop on the filter basket of your Coffee Maker jammed. We proudly offer The OXO Better Guarantee on all of our products and we'd love the chance to make this right. Please contact us at your convenience at tellus@oxo.com or 1-800-545-4411 so that we can help you out." Good Luck to you! I still had to buy another unit, and it grates me every time I look at it.

Any difference between 9 and 12-cup models other than size and separate kettle? $100 is a lot for 3 cups (I already own a tea kettle)

Like others have said it does use a different paper filter size and shape. We have the 12 cup and the reason we got it was for the separate kettle. Yes, I had a kettle on my stove before. The benefits of this kettle are that the hot water can be set to a specific temp and kept at that temp for up to 30 minutes. If you already have a good electric kettle that can do that, then this coffee maker might not be worth the upgrade. (Also at the time that we bought this machine it was priced at only $4 more than the smaller machine since it was on sale on Amazon!) We've had it for 1 month now and we really like it so far.

Can you use this 9 cup version to make hot water like the 12 cup version can?

Yes, you can use it to make hot water, although there is no separate carafe like the 12 cup version. I simply put however much water I want to heat up in the tank and omit any coffee or filter. The water heats up through the machine and fills into the stainless carafe. Same process as brewing coffee, just without the coffee.
