I love my Zojirushi machine--I've had it for a few months now and it makes great coffee that stays hot all day long, and it's easy to clean. My main issue with it are the filters. Everyone's reviews say that #4 permanent gold filters fit theirs. I've tried 4 different brands of gold filters, and none have fit so far. I know some people, in their reviews, have said that the filter issue has been resolved, but mine still has the weird sized basket. I emailed Zojirushi to ask them directly if there's a specific brand that fits their coffee maker. This is the letter I got back from them: "Thank you for your inquiry regarding the the filters for the EC-BD15 thermal coffee maker. At this time there is no permanent filter for our unit. We reccomend using regular #2 or #4 filters even though they are not a perfect fit. Please visit our website for further developments and we apologize for any inconvenince this might have caused." I've been cutting a half-inch off of normal #4 disposable filters, which is kind of a pain. If I don't do this, the lid won't close.
Just a quick update: I found slightly shorter disposable #4 filters that I don't have to trim, only squish a bit on top to fit in the machine. It's been almost a year and my zoji (knock on wood) is still going strong.Get more detail about Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker.
