The only thing I am dissatisfied with is the fact that it overflows easily while brewing (about half the time), especially if a gold cone filter is used. Yes-I am sure to remove the cap for the lid. It brews excellent coffee.
I only brew without the lid in place now. It really does brew excellent tasting coffee though. Not a big deal, but we are supposed to be able to brew through the lid.
I'd had my eye on this coffee pot for awhile before I purchased it. It seems to push hot water through much faster than the design of the lid can handle. ;)
The basket separates easily from the base for quick cleaning and the carafe keeps coffee hot through the day without the burnt taste. It overflows if paper filters(it takes #4 cone filters)are used as well.
I want to love the coffee maker as so many other people do, but there are just too many problems.the coffee tastes great.when it's not running all over the counter. We tried different coffee grounds, making sure everything is absolutely clean and it still does it. It does it often enough that we cannot use the automatic settings, and have to stand over it to make sure that it's flowing into the carafe, repeatedly checking water level, and trying to figure out if it's actually going into the carafe. This is an absolute PAIN, and we might as well be making coffee the old fashioned way, pouring hot water into a cone manually (which by the way, makes absolutely better coffee).
The coffee tastes delicious and most important, stays very hot in the carafe for hours. Directions are easy to read. It is very simple and easy to operate and clean.
The temperature of the coffee is 165 degrees upon finished brewing. Setup and brewing were perfect the first time. The complete process of online purchase through Amazon and delivery was flawless.
I have had this product 3 months now and could not be happier. Cleaning is simple and effortless. I highly recommend this product and Amazon.
I disconnect the coffee maker after making coffee and store it under the counter in a cabinet. The last cup tastes as good as the first cup because of the carafe.
Take that carafe anywhere and the flavor and heat is retained for hours. 5 minutes later and a bit of steam noise signals it is done. Note the placement of carafe and make sure it is centered correctly and tap the start button.
Excellent design - not idiot proof but close. Rinse carafe with warm water and screw on lid tight. Best value coffee maker on the planet.
Fill reservoir with cold clean water and required coffee in basket. An excellent coffee brewer. Use a #4 filter and fold it at the bottom seam twice and on the edge once.
Perfect fit.
I was determined that this was the coffee maker that I had to have. If you use the #4 you have to fold it just so and sometimes it will still cause it to overflow. I was very excited to finally get my Zoji. This is a very "picky" machine.
I took mine back and got the Cuisineart Grind and Brew. Not to mention that the holes need to be lined up perfectly or this will also cause it to overflow. It is disappointing to wake up in the morning to the smell of yummy coffe but to find it all over your counter instead of in the carafe. I LOVE IT. Very disappointed in this machine. I read alot of reviews and researched.
I felt that it was way to much work and worry. There is nothing like fresh ground coffee.and guess what.it actually brews it right in the carafe instead of all over my countertops. I was so disappointed when I found out that more than 50% of the times I used it, the coffee ended up all over my counter top instead of in the carafe. The instructions say to use a #4 filter, but it really required a #3 which are nowhere to be found.
