I have used this maker for just over a year now and can tell you it makes decent coffee but not the best. Over the last year we have had some real good hot pots and some luke warm/weak coffee using the same grind and type. At 1 year and 22 days the maker just quit on me so I took it apart to investigate and found that the wires going to the heater were loose so after moving them around a bit it now works again. I think there is a design flaw in that the hot water tube has to pass thru the cold water tank so it cools the water down on the way to the basket. I measured the temps coming out of the sprayer at three intervals during the cycle and here is what I got. 165F at start 180F mid way through and 185F at the end. This is no way hot enough for decent coffee! Just for kicks I returned the hot water for a second and third go thru and the hottest I saw was 195F with the water coming out so fast that it would of esentially blown up on the counter if I had been brewing. It is not bad for the price point but I really wish it was hotter.Get more detail about Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker.
