Just what I was looking for - Zojirushi EC-BD15BAFresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker

I have a lot of coffee machines in the course of my 50 years of ownership (ok I do not have a lot of its first 15 years or so) and I also sold Zojirushi EC-BD15BAFresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker in 2000, when I was in the Department of Household Goods worked my local Filene's department . Save As I said in the title of this review, I think the Zojirushi Fresh better than any of those other brands Brew, not because there are more bells and whistles (or not), not because it is better (it is) but because it is the best coffee I've ever had making.

The machine heats the water at a temperature of 185-190 degrees near-perfect delivery. The infusion time is just perfect, it delivers 50 oz jug of 9 1 / 2 minutes (calls it a Zojirushi 10 Cup Carafe, I call it 2 1 / 2 cups, but I am a 20 oz cup). The coffee comes out nice and warm and not too weak in too short a time boiling, steaming still a long maceration time.

Fresh Brew uses both the # 4 paper filters or a # 4 gold filter. The original design used a # 3 filter and filter support is a bit 'small for quarter # If you moisten the filter (as one might have in any case) before using it in the holder, it fits perfectly. I tried the coffee in this machine with both a gold and a crude, air filter, I personally like making coffee for the filter paper (the gold filter allows more particles to get a coffee).

For the best cup of coffee possible, you grind your coffee finer than it probably was. I have found that a step is expressed Ginde me the best flavor. He also received the biggest reason why people is a bad coffee from a coffee machine that coffee is not enough. In this unit I use 1 4.3 balls of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water, so I can use for a full 14 balls.

On other machines I've owned (and DeLonghi Krups in particular), the tank was so long and narrow that it was difficult to fill it without flooding the work surface. Not so with the Zojirushi has the shell of a beautiful, wide open.

Moreover, unlike some machines for coffee, the Fresh Brew carafe of a spout so that the coffee goes in the cup / mug, not all of the bank. The jug itself is an isolated, coated, stainless steel, vacuum jug. Absolutely no heat to the outer surface of the jug, of course, that will keep your coffee hot transfer. Also, since this is a pitcher, there is resistance at the base of the Fresh Brew. This means that there is no chance, the coffee is "burnt" by sitting on a heating pad for too long. Leaving the goblet of Fresh Brew coffee when you leave it in for a long period of time to plan. The Carrafa has a peak that could attract, the opening where the coffee goes into the pot. Sealed becomes the hot coffee and fresh feel all day, but that prevents the tip jar sitting on the coffee machine.

What are the bells and whistles, the Zojirushi has infused only a digital clock and a programmable automatic.

On top of everything else, the Zojirushi sells for about half to two-thirds of the recommended retail price of other brands. How can you do something wrong? The Zojirushi Fresh Brew, you get the best cup of coffee (in my opinion) for about half the price of other coffee makers.
