We purchased this machine after replacing a 5-year old Krups machine. Our finicky friends recommended this machine saying it was the best one they've ever had. I found it cumbersome to operate. Here's why:
1. Because it is a stainless steel pot, you have to guess how much water you're putting in the carafe. Once poured into the machine, you can see how much your putting in but may have to go back to get more water. Wouldn't be a big deal in of itself except for another thing...
2. The lid. The design is irritating beyond belief. You twist it on and after brewing have to use a towel to untwist it because it gets vacuum sealed on there practically. Also, when pouring, you have to untwist it so the "O" is matching the "O" on the spout. And then it's a slower pour compared to the plain ole pot.
3. The coffee basin lid needs to be snapped into place to create a seal on the aroma. Why not just make a lid that closes and seals without having to push it down and snap it?
I'm sure all these things except for the first make it a technically great tasting cup of coffee, but for me, the average Jane, just wanting a quick cup of joe... it's a few too many steps for me to enjoy fully.
Maybe I'm just too cranky before I get my first cup?Get more detail about Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker.
