We purchased the EC-BD15 (similar to EC-DB15BA in all details) after analysing other products, and had it for about 7 months. Next in line were a Capresso, Braun and Cuisinart coffee makers. But you're talking to someone who's had for 12 years a stovetop Bialetti 6-cup stainless steel espresso maker; so, not quite interested in gadgets about making coffee, because in the end, it's the coffee that counts. And the EC-BD15 does its job well, indeed.
I was introduced to Zojirushi in Japan, through rice cookers and vacuum bottle containers they make. As many japanese products, the Zojirushis are built with quality in mind, and do not want the shame of making a shoddy product.
KISS - keep it simple and stupid. Hence, few controls on the way to make the coffee: Pour water, place a #4 filter, put coffee, press ON. Wait for the beast to brew coffee (yes, the sounds the coffee maker does might surprise at first, but it's now accepted , and we look forward to it!), and enjoy. As far as not burning the taste, it goes with the vacuum bottle construction. And, yes, it will keep the coffee warm long enough so you can have friends over, brew coffee as you serve dinner and enjoy it, without having to break from the table midway to make coffee for dessert. The stainless steel carafe might need clean up from time to time, but it's like any stainless steel appliance. Its design is also timeless. Th EC-BD15 indicates it's a 10 cup, but I currently use 2 cups / american cup (or mug), so it's more likely you'll pull 5 cups out of a full load. A travel mug... well, you get the picture.
But make no other assumption: any cup of coffee will degrade in time (pity!) and it's only the sum of good ingredients - freshly ground coffee beans and good water. This machine will merely make the best of it!
PS. Read other reviews as well! "Uses #4 filters; automatic mode, ..." Some great reviews in there, good and bad.Get more detail about Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker.
