Before coming over to Tools of the Trade, I was a contractor (I hope “was”; finishing the projects underway seems nearly impossible with this cold snap), a tool reviewer, and a D-List YouTuber. Some of it was on the DIY side of things at a corner of the Internet called MyFixitUpLife, if you literally have nothing to do.
Anyway, I tell you that to tell you this: I had the Oxx Boxx—which I found during my Remodeling Show demos—in line for a review and fell in love with it. The company sent me one to review and talk about on social media and I was about to do that when I started working here.
So, instead of re-reviewing it (other than to say that the power and fill lights could be a little bigger and a little brighter), I hope our existing review (which I mainly agree with here) fills your cup.
Since this was written, however, Oxx has become a subscription coffee service and the cost of the unit has fallen at least $50 to just south of 2-bills, a price I found at Home Depot and Amazon.
If you’re of the mind that pumping 80-gagillion little plastic cups into the world isn’t going to help the Pacific Garbage Patch get any smaller, compostable coffee pods—with good coffee in them—are available. I bought them at a Whole Foods store and found them at Amazon.
