Oster Coffee Maker

Oster Coffee Maker

We bought an Oster Coffee Maker in October of 2008. Which is only about 5 months ago. It has worked great except for about 3 of those 5 months.

Now the coffee pot leaks down the sides from underneath the top rim. It's like the liquid forms under the rim when you are pouring and then when you set it up right it runs down the outside of the pot. Very annoying and disappointing. They sure don't make coffee makers like they used to and now they are so expensive and only last a fews months to a year.

Before we had a Philips coffee maker and it worked for 20 years. In the last 6 years we have gone through 5 different coffee makers. Very disappointed. Thanks for your time and concern.

Coffee maker not shutting off - too hot.
by: Harper in Georgia

We purchased the 12 cup coffee maker on 9/14/2011 from Sams. Today, we made coffee and later heard a sound like boiling coming from the kitchen. The coffee maker had failed to shut off the brew cycle. The entire maker was hot, and smelled like something had burned out. I unplugged it to stop any danger of fire, and it took quite some time for it to cool down. In fact I poured cold water into the resavoir and it started to brew, it was still that hot.

This product is dangerous and should be pulled from the shelves. We will not buy another and do not want a replacement even if free.

Oster coffee pot leaks
by: Anonymous

I don't know the model number since I have had mine for almost a year now and have not kept the box or the manual that came with it. Mine started leaking from the bottom about a month ago. My husband took it apart and the rubber hose that draws the water to the percolater had split. Another fire hazard since the water was dripping near the wires for the circuit board. I am very disappointed since I thought Oster was a good brand name.

Oster 3306-33 coffee maker
by: Donna from Canada

In May, 2008, I won an Oster coffee maker.
It would drip from the sides of the lid just like someone else in these reviews experienced. I called Oster to complain. After 2 calls, they sent me a new one. It has worked fine until today. It just stopped heating so I guess the element burned out.
So it worked for just over 2 years- not a very good record. A cousin of mine had an Oster and hers did the same overflowing mess as mine. Very disappointing.

fire hazzard!!!!!!!!!!
by: Anonymous

I purchased a Oster coffee maker about 3 yrs ago and 3 days before the 3 month in store warrenty was up the timer went off to signal to me it was shutting off. A few hours later I went to make coffee and it was cooking hot and readt to explode. I made a pot of coffee after that and waited for the timer to go off and checked it an hour later NO LIGHT ON BUT BURNING HOT. When I took it back to the store they said they never heard of the oster doing that and replaced it with a kitchen aid as I was too worried about house fire and it lasted a year. I tryed the oster again as I preffer to set the temp and got tired if it leaking all over my counter and gave it to my daughter and it lasted another month then wouldn't brew after that so it lasted about a year. WELL HERE IS THE TOPPER I purchased another oster (3309-33) in july 2009 it decided not to shut off either. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL
I lifted up the lid hours after it shut off and steam just spit in my face!!!!!!!!!!

repeated problems with coffee maker.
by: France

I have had this problem on and off for three years. The Oster coffee maker just wont brew. The power is there but one cannot set anything as nothing happens the timer does not work and no indicator lights come on.
The company sent me two replacements and today the same thing happened. Worked fine in the morning and tried to make coffee this afternoon and one cannot set it to brew.
I think it is time for a new brand.

Oster 3309-33 replaced by a BVSTCJ
by: Anonymous

We purchased an Oster 3309-33 december 8 of 2008 and it simply stopped working on november 1 of this year 2009.

We took it for warrantee repair and one month later they gave us back a basic model BVSTCJ coffee maker worth about $60.00 in replacement of our $99.00 3309-33 warranteed maker. Apparently an equivalent product or so they say, but missing the plate temperature control and the on/off switch for the audible signal.

Last time we purchase any Oster products.

3307-33
by: Anonymous

We purchased the above model Oster coffee maker in December of 2007. To date it has worked fine, but now it appears to be constantly on. The burner heats up and if you fill the reservior with water it goes through the brew cycle without even being turned on. Not only is this annoying, but it is also a fire hazard.

Has anyone else experienced the same problems?

Oster Coffee Maker 3307-33
by: Anonymous

We purchased one of these coffee makers in late June of this year (09). By July it suddenly stopped drawing the water to make the coffee - so we returned it to the store we purchased at and received a new one.

Almost exactly the same time (1 month) went by and now the new one has done the same thing. We are returning it and that's the end of coffee makers for us.

This coffee maker was replacing a Cuisinart thermos style Grind & Brew DGB-600BCC maker that we fought with for over 6 years - it had the annoying habit of flooding our kitchen counter and friends who have the same one have the same problem, so it was not just this one machine.

Does nobody make a good coffee maker any more?

What model of Oster Coffee Maker are you referring too, as there are many models. I just brought a 3309-33 model, and I hope I don't have the trouble you describe?
