recommends have to be cut down because they're too tall. The #4 filters the mfg. The Bunn stainless steel pour-over is a much better coffee maker but it's also twice the money. The Good: Coffee is brewed quickly, tastes fine, and it stays hot.The Bad: It doesn't pour well. The lid is crazy and hard to line up.
The lid is hard to tighten,has ridges that are very uncomfortable to turn and it's hard to tell if you have it on tight. It looks very stylish on my kitchen counter, but that's the only thing I like. Thermal. When you pour, you can only tip it so far or it spills all over. I wish I had my old coffee pot back, but they don't make it anymore. Even with the extra little cap provided, the stainless steel pot keeps coffee hot about 2 hours. We had a glass thermal coffee pot before which kept the coffee hot for at least 4 hours.
I switched to this type of make because I am tired of a glass carafe which has no insulatory capacity and also breaks very easily. You don't have to screw it down so hard-dah. I am a scuba diver and you learn to tighten the knob and then back it off just slightly.this can be true for many things in life. Be sure you buy the BD15 vs 17. Buy it. The carafe does keep the liquid hot for 12 hours as advertised. This is the height of the unit and the 17" will not fit under most US counters. I don't know why people rate the turn top as difficult to loosen.
The first one leaked so bad that I had several cups of water on the counter before I dumped it back out and this was while I was trying to put coffee in the filter. Just packed up my second one to be returned. Don't waste your time. I never even got to the point of making coffee. Both units leaked water out of the main tank, and not just a little.
It is rare that you find find a better product at a lower price, but the Zojirushi fits the bill. It is also half the price of the Braun. I am pretty picky about my coffee maker and I am very impressed by this product. I have the Braun KF 600 and it stopped working after a few months so I purchased the Zojirushi and was pleasantly surprised. The Zojurishi brews a better, faster pot of coffee and keeps it hotter in the thermal carafe much longer than the Braun.
