Zojirushi 10-Cup Stainless Steel & Black Coffee Maker

D Hunt: We purchased this to replace a typical glass carafe with a bottom burner. We are a larger household of coffee drinkers, so we were looking for something more energy-efficient with less burnt flavor. Every product by this company we’ve owned (thermoses, bread machines, etc) has been great, so we picked this one.

That was five years ago. After usually 3 pots per day, our Zojirushi is finally starting to struggle to keep up. It works, but roughly. Not gonna lie, we haven’t been diligent about its upkeep. At all.

I looked around for other options to replace it, but nothing seemed to meet our needs better. So we just bought another. Price went up in five years, but the quality appears to remain as good as ever. Old Zoji is headed off to live a nice life of semi-retirement in the garage. He’s not dead yet!

Honestly this coffee pot is easily the best and most important kitchen appliance we own. This reliable little work horse has basically become a member of the family. Definitely recommend.

Jim: They really did a wishlist coffee machine here:

- removable water reservoir, makes it easy to refill
- timer, so coffee is brewing and ready while you get ready for the day
- large circular drip head for better saturation and extraction
- smaller brew basket, while, yes it is a standard size, it is nice to get a higher bed of grounds, for better immersion.
- thermal carafe (especially since Zojirushi has good thermal products, sort of like Japanese Yeti)
- flat bottom brew basket for smoother brews
- 200F general brew temp (depends on altitude and power source integrity)
- as well as brewing options

There is more, but yeah, you get the point.

I’m surprised I haven’t heard more about this. it is basically a “Mr. Coffee meets Ratio 6”, but somehow iconically Japanese.

Travis Morgan: I bought this coffee maker because I didn't want my coffee to cook on a burner. This was perfect for that. The coffee stays fresh for many hours. Now, there is one issue as others have mentioned. It sometimes overflows making a big mess. Now here is the thing, when I make it, it never overflows, but when my wife makes it, it overflows about 80% of the time. Coffee grounds and coffee go everywhere. My wife isn't one to listen to me but I am convinced she is not grinding the coffee long enough before putting it in the filter. When she makes it, there are still some small pieces of beans rather than it being all powder. I heard her grinding the coffee for 5 sec and then put it in the coffee maker just to have it overflow and she is cussing and swearing at the coffee maker calling it "stupid." Of course, she doesn't listen to me when I tell her to grind the coffee longer. Like I said, it doesn't overflow on me and it comes out perfect. When she makes it, there is a mess everywhere. Because of this, I can also tell you, it is very easy to clean, the parts come out easily and you can rinse them easily. I know because she leaves the mess and I end up being the one to clean it. So, for...

Tim: My purchase goal was a clean and simple drip coffee maker. This achieves that and then some. The fact that the company sells replacement parts is a huge bonus for a coffee maker that I plan to use for a long time. I highly recommend this model worth every penny.

Amazon Customer: I went on a three year espresso only bender and my machine finally broke so I decided to give the drip world another look. Having many Zojirushi products in our home I decided to get this as I knew it would be high quality and deliver a good end product like all their other products'.

It doesn't fail. Coffee is consistently better than going out to buy it at any shop. The insulated container keeps the coffee hot for hours on end. Quit enough that I usually don't even know anything is happening.

If you are researching a drip machine that can keep your coffee hot and fresh for a long time just get this. It will not disappoint.

Lari: I love this coffee pot, it’s so easy with the removable side water tank and swing basket for coffee. No need to pull it all the way out from underneath the cabinet to fill!
My only complaint is that the warmer only stays on for an hour, then you have to push the button again for another hour, which is a hassle if you work early and you’re spouse sleeps in.
Definitely recommend though if this isn’t an issue.

Loricia: Easy to fill reservoir at a height I can read and fill. I am short and normally have to stand on tiptoes to fill my previous coffee makers. My hands are small enough to reach into the pot with a brush to give it a scrub. It makes a delicious cup of coffee even from cheaper quality coffee. It does not make your coffee bitter, as some have said. I do not like bitter tasting coffee and usually look for soother blends. This coffee maker extracts the flavour from the ground coffee and makes it perfect for me.

Will Senger: Without a doubt, after many years of trying different brands, this is the coffee maker I wish I had purchased many years ago.

There are some cons to owning it, and I will get into that later, but for now I want to focus on the quality coffee this unit makes.

So, with two uncles who are chefs, I learned a long time ago that an oil slick on top of black coffee is not good. Apparently, the oil slick occurs when the water temperature is not well regulated. Indeed, this machine makes coffee with almost no oil slick at all -- even with inexpensive beans.

I do not grind my own coffee. I buy it ground on the spot or pre-packaged. I purchased five different varieties of coffee ranging from $6 to $23 per pound to use with this machine and all have been excellent when brewed with this masterful piece of equipment.

I drink black coffee. This is an expert machine for preparing black coffee. I am sure with cream or sugar it is just as exceptional.

The pros: The detachable water tank makes filling so easy. It is beautifully designed for filling and placement. The lid is rigid and goes on or off without any hassle and the tank is wide enough inside to clean...

Lit Lush: After reading reviews for many other coffee makers on Amazon.ca in the $100-200 price range, my partner and I felt discouraged. Too many bad reviews. Then we increased our price range to around $250 and bought this excellent ZOJI Rushi EC-YTC100XB.

To save you time on research, here's why we rank the Zoji Rushi Programmable coffee maker 5 STARS:

EASE OF USE:
This Coffee Maker is intuitive and easy to use and also comes with a manual. The reservoir is removable for easy filling, as is the coffee basket. PLUS it comes with a metal filter that you can remove if you prefer paper filters.

PRO-TIP - Filters: The manual warns not to use both metal filter and paper filter together. Simply choose one way or the other. This is because "double filtering" on any coffee pot will result in water not passing into the carafe, and thus grind/coffee overflow will happen. Easy to avoid: Don't double-down on your filters. :)

PRO-TIP - Water: Use filtered water, and do not EVER use your coffee pot to fill your reservoir. This is because you do not want oils from your cofee to get into your machine. That will decrease the life-span of the machine and will make your coffee...
