Zojirushi Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker

Rating

Zojirushi Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker makes smooth coffee and the carafe prevents bitter coffee taste. I'm not going back to any other coffee maker after trying this one. It's a definite keeper!!!

I cannot recommend this coffeepot ..I spent way too much money for a product that didn't come with all the pieces.The permanent filter was not included, which means that I have to use paper filters. The box says that a couple of filters are supplied with the coffee pot They were not included in the packaging of the coffeemaker. Also the lid needs to be turned to open for pouring, unless you like your coffee to drip slowly into the cup.

I received my coffee pot in a timely manner. I noticed when setting it up that the permanent filter was not included, which means that I have to use paper filters. The overall appearance is acceptable, but because its' design, with the controls on the side, I have to keep it sitting length wise along my counter instead of backing it into the designated space. The pot is not as thick as my previous stainless coffeemaker, but it does seem to keep the coffee as hot. Also the lid needs to be turned to open for pouring, which is a slight inconvenience. My previous coffeemaker had a button to push when pouring. It is not as sturdy as I had hoped, seeing as the water reservoir is separate from the hot plate, (which doesn't get hot because of the insulated stainless pot, of course.) Too, it doesn?t shut off immediately after brewing. I haven't figured out yet how long it remains in the ON mode until it shuts itself off. It must be handled with care if moving it about after filling the reservoir with water for fear that it will break in half. It's just not very sturdy. As for the value for the money...I think I spent too much. Would I purchase it again? No. But it will suffice long enough for me to get my money's worth, I hope?

This is a decent coffee maker that looks good and brews coffee quickly. The lid is hard to get off after the coffee brews and the coffee does not stay hot for very long. I have had better coffee makers, but this will do.

The coffee pot is amazing! Come back six hours later for hot, fresh brewed tasting coffee. The directions aren't so good. I recommend this pot, just remember the lid with a hole in the middle needs to be on the pot during brewing!
