Zojirushi's EC-BD15BA 1.5 Liter Fresh Brew Coffee Maker with Vacuum Stainless Steel Carafe is gorgeous and functional and will look spectacular on your countertop. It has many wonderful features.Lots of folks dislike the burnt flavor that coffee gets when it sits in a glass pot over a heating element. To avoid this, coffee shops often brew right into large thermal pots to keep the coffee warm without it becoming overcooked. The Zojirushi Fresh Brew does that, too, but in home-sized batches. It looks great, too, with a glossy black body and stainless steel carafe and brew basket.
To brew, lift the lid and swing the water outlet spout to one side while the filter is being loaded; the spout will return to its proper position when the lid is closed. A small red ball in the water gauge makes it extra simple to read. And an electronic clock module also serves as a timer that will start the brewer at a specified time. The carafe's lid is designed to be on during brewing, with a small cap to help keep the heat in after it's ready. The Fresh Brew also has a pause-and-serve function that stops the flow for 30 seconds while a cup of coffee is served.
To clean the brewer unit, use a solution of white vinegar and water, following the instructions in the accompanying booklet. The unit is not immersible. The exterior can be wiped with a damp soft rag; do not use abrasives or scouring pads. The filter reservoir is removable; clean with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. The coffee brewer measures 15 by 12 by 9 inches (includes carafe handle when unit is completely assembled), and it uses #4 cone-shaped disposable paper filters. The Fresh Brew comes with a detailed instruction booklet. Zojirushi guarantees its products with a one-year limited warranty. --Garland Withers

I just can not get a strong cup of coffee regardless of the amount of coffee grinds and the filter.
I regret buying this coffee maker.

Coffee seems to taste better with this maker. I'm assuming it's because of the stainless steel carafe.

The heating element died after only 6 months !
At least they referred me to a local service provider, five minutes from my house (hence an extra star).
Still very disappointed, considering that a coffeemaker I had, 1/5 of the price of this one, lasted 5 times longer !!

We had this coffee maker for 1 year whilst brewing coffee 2x a day and it simply refused to brew one morning and never again brewed. ALSO IF YOU MAKE MORE THAN 8 CUPS OF COFFEE IT OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE PLACE CREATING A LIQUID MESS onto your countertop. Stick with Cuisinart or another well known brand that Macy's would carry.
Not to mention this unit is poorly constructed and feels cheap.

This is a great coffee maker for the price. I'm very puzzled by the naysayers. I suppose it's possible there are defective units out there? As for the one I received - it delivers on each count.
Coffee- delicious and HOT!
Looks - Great (the thin plastic complaints are unfounded in my opinion)
Ease of Cleaning - 5*'s!
For me, it's all about the LARGE 12 cup thermal carafe. I used to go through a cheap glass canister per year at least. Plus pouring the coffee with EVERY coffee maker prior to this one had to be done over the sink because of drips. Not ONE drip escapes the carafe. I LOVE THAT.
As for the complaints about the filter not fitting, the cap being too tight, coffee exploding all over the counter: I just don't get it! The filter thing is really unfounded, mine fit right in as long as they are flush with the bottom (the way they are designed). The cap being too tight? I think they are screwing it on too tight in the first place. Coffee explosions? Never happens to me, and it happened at least monthly with my old black and decker and mr coffee units. No grounds in the brewed coffee either.
I have to say - ignore the haters. They come off to me after re-reading the reviews as (I have to say it) nincompoops!!!!
No matter what time you set your timer for, enjoy waking up to the rich, hot, coffee from your completely trouble free new coffee maker.
