Editorial Review

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. Read more

Good coffee maker
A few weeks have gone by since I received the Zoji, and I'm very happy with it.While I can't tell if it makes 'better' coffee than other brands, it does make good, hot coffee; and the large carafe is a definite plus!The coffee stays hot for several hours.I have not had problems with small openings, tight seals, etc, as mentioned in some reviews. It's functional and handsome (as far as appliances go . . .)A good buy despite the somewhat steep price -

Love this coffee maker!
I think this coffee maker is great.Other people have complained about the coffee going all over if the pot isn't lined up properly when you start the coffee.To me, it is just plain laziness if you can't LOOK at where it needs to be before brewing to insure the coffee doesn't end up on the counter.Sure, maybe you shouldn't HAVE to do that, but big deal, really.For the other features it offers, I am fine with having to pay attention to where the pot is positioned.Some people have also complained about the coffee not staying hot....WHAT?!?!No kidding, I brewed a pot of coffee at 2 pm one afternoon and the next morning, at about 10 am, the coffee was still warm!Not hot enough to drink, but after 20 hours it was still warm?I think that is pretty darned good!I also like the fact that the water spigot, (where the water goes into the grounds), has multiple holes for a shower like effect, which more thoroughly saturates the grounds.The only thing that I have a little problem with is the lid.Because of the shape of the lid, it can hurt your hand a bit when you have to twist it from being on really tight.Other than that, I love it!I also got a Swissgold filter basket to go with it, which I highly recommend.

Great purchase
I have had this coffee maker for a year and a half.Having lived in Japan for several years, I knew the brand and the quality.I think it makes great coffee and I am a COMPLETE coffee snob!I like to have a cup throughout the day, and I am always pleased at how warm it is at the end of the day.

The best!
I bought this machine based on the reviews and I am so glad I did.This is a wonderful espresso machine.Easy to use, makes excellent coffee and foam.I find that to my liking it works best if the grind is fine, the coffee dial is set far to the left (small demi tasse) and the strength dial is at max (to right). Again I love this machine and highly recommend it.

High quality unit, affordable price, great espresso
This was the best price point I could find for a super-automatic espresso maker.It was also among the most highly rated by other customers.The unit has been great!I've had it for 4 months.My friends are always amazed by the quality of the espresso and they all want one of these machines too, now.
Almost What I Wanted
I took "Greg's" advice (see review above) and bought it at Bed, Bath & Beyond and saved 20%. Great tip, Greg. The machine is great and great looking and worked as advertised. Except, I like Lattes made with steamed milk and just "a little" bit of foam. This unit does not really have a steam wand, it has a "frother" attachment which produces lots and lots of foam. I used less milk and I used more milk but I could not get it right--the frother with its foam just overtook the milk pitcher. The problem is you cannot take off the frother and use a steam wand because under the frother is a plastic tube that is held in place by (you guessed it) the frother. If you like really large quantities of foam this will do it for you. So, went back to BBB and bought the Saeco Vspresso machine. Retails for $999 but (thanks again Greg) with my coupon I bought it for $800. It has all the features of the Delonghi plus you can remove the frother and the steam wand is available to use alone. It also has a stainless steel boiler and my wife loves this part--it is more compact on the counterthan the Delonghi. Again, this machine worked as advertised and would please most people.

AVOID THIS ONE
Only had this coffee maker ( second replacement) one year and it leaked from all over my counter. I asked for a replacement, crazy huh, and was told NO my time had run out. Well I am off on a hunt for a good coffee maker. THIS WAS NOT IT !! Do not waste your money.

Great Coffeemaker!
I had been using a Braun Flavorselect for several years, which was a great coffemaker but was showing its age.So when I started reading up on new models out there, feedback didn't seem so great for the new Brauns.So I found this one, loved the looks and the features, and the feedback seemed very positive.
Not worth the money.
I purchased this electric because of it's striking design, and programable delayed brewing. While it worked nicely for two years, just a month out of warranty it died! Overhaul, it was a good coffee maker but several design quirks made it difficult to use. The very small water reservior filling area is almost unusable. It's such a confined area, you end up spilling water all over the place. The second quirk is the NON- LIT very small digital display. Putting aside it only lasted two years, I decided to purchase another one. I ran out to one of local retailers and paid the $79 retail pop, used the new pot 3 days and the display died. It would shut off mid brew. At this point I returned it and bought a Mr Coffee 12 cup programable pot which I am very pleased with. In closing, the Cuisinart is too expensive, and doesn't over anything different than the 100s of other brands out there. ... Read more

Uniquely designed with similarities to an espresso machine, this coffeemaker features a 1450-watt boiler that brews a 4-ounce cup of coffee in just 30 seconds, or two 4-ounce cups or one 8-ounce mug in 60 seconds. Because the machine uses pre-measured coffee pods, the system is hassle-free, easy to clean, and guarantees a flavorful, fresh brew each time.Read more

Extra Good
The coffee maker is the most convenient and best I have had in my 60 years of marriage and the pods make the best coffee.I have recomended the products to many, many people.
Pod update
I bought this unit nearly a year ago and reviewed it then. Generally happy with the machine but grossly unhappy with the proprietary pods....buy the wrong ones and the machine leaks all over the place. This finally drove my husband and me crazy so we put the machine away. Two week ago we ran out of ground coffee, had some old pods so we pulled this machine out. LOVED the machine (sleek, cute, convenient)used it for a few days and fell in love all over again. THEN came the old problems. For some reason, the non-Senseo pods we had purchased worked but the vanilla flavored ones triggered big leaks. Husband still loved the machined and asked me to get more pods. Went to THREE grocery stores including Kroger and Food Lion, neither sold Senseo.Why are the manufacturers forcing a Beta/VHS battle?!? PLEASE make standard pods! These things are expensive enough. To then have to overlay boutique shopping to find the store that stocks pods for the particular machine that you have bought is incredibly annoying. If you buy a machine buy a lot of pods or research where to buy and, for god's sake, do not deviate your pods lest you suffer the leaking of the wrong pod!!!

I feel so spoiled!!
this coffee machine and gift pack is something I really didn't NEED but my daughter raved about it so much I purchased one too.Now I am spoiled with the best, freshest, coffee in the world each morning!Easy to use, no waste, FAST and FRESH...what more could you ask for?I LOVE it. ... Read more

The best expresso Pot
Bought this to replace my at least 10 year old Bialetti aluminum pot, and I am not disappointed. It makes the best expresso ever and is easy to clean. I bought this along with the Aerolatte "to go" milk frother, and have been making great cappuccinos with skim milk. It is also very pretty to look at; I love this pot!

Great Espresso
This is a beautiful little espresso maker that makes great coffee.It's just that simple.Everything works well, is constructed well, easy to clean, and comes with a really funny badly translated manual (don't worry, the instructions are still clear, just funny).

Best on the Market
I've tried the aluminum Bialetti Espresso Maker and although it works well, this one is superior. Worth the splurge--it's very well constructed, the flavor of the espresso is pure, and the elegant redesign of the espresso maker draws a lot of compliments. ... Read more

great for 1 person
Such a better cup of coffee than the drip type. It's great for 2 cups serving. And the best thing is it doesn't take up anyspace on my counter. It is just as convenient as an automatic. Why doesn't everyone use these?!

5 oz. cups
Boden MUST be talking about 5 oz cups when they say this is a 4 cups press.It barely fills my 20 oz mug and then it's kinda over flowing.I love this french press, it makes great coffee, I just wish I had more information to have bought a 6 cup press instead.

Pros: Great tasting coffee, easy to use, very stylish.

Interesting coffee
This system makes the best iced coffee I ever had.People that have trouble with draining the coffee or other problems are doing it wrong.I'm not the shapest tool in the shed, but I was able to figure the Toddy system out.My Bunn that I paid over a hundred dollars for is down in the basement collecting dust and waiting for a part due to a recall.The Toddy system is easy, convient, safe and makes great coffee.

Best thing since sliced bread
Easy to use, makes delicious coffee and is always available to make a single cup or more. How do you beat that?

'Zen' Coffeemaker
Sometimes it's the simplest things that work the best, taste the best, etc.This 'unplugged' coffee maker may look cheap, but it's held up through 3 moves, 1 other (traditional) coffee maker's replacement, and it's still going. I should buy stock in the company.If you like coffee, but don't like the jitters, get this toddy maker.If you're looking for a gift for the chef who has everything, get this toddy maker for him/her. GREAT for desserts.

The best coffee maker I have owned
I agree with so many others: this is the best home coffee maker.One does need to read the manual carefully.As Michael Stack on Aug. 12, 2006 says in his review, "...it's a bit counter intuitive."His review was most helpful in my decision.I have a Cuisinart coffee maker with the grinder.It was always a pain to clean and put back together daily.This is easy to clean and quick.The aroma flows through the house when brewing, and wakes me in the morning.Coffee is delicous compared to the Cuisinart.
Best available grind and brew
I recently purchased the new Capresso grind and brew to replace the older model which I have had for about 7 years.Yes, I have read reviews that contained negative comments, however I believe most of the problems expressed are actually human operator problems.Yes, you do have to put the filter basket in correctly and you do have use a course grind if you use oily beans so the grinder channel does not get clogged.It works great for me and I love it.

Also surprised by the negative comments....
I bought this coffee maker recently as I was looking for an all in one unit that allowed me to automatically brew coffee every morning. After reading the negative reviews I held off my decision to buy for a while and then decided to purchase and boy am I glad I bought this baby.

Great Machine
I bought this coffee maker about a month and a half ago and I love it!It is so easy to use, and takes no time to clean up.The only negative that I have found, is that there are some k-cups that are too weak.I stick with Green Mtn. Coffee and it taste great.If you are looking for a machine that makes a good cup of coffee and there is no hassles with filters, this is it.

Needs steroids
I'm sorry, but this unit makes very weak coffee.I really wanted to like this thing, because of the great variety of coffee choices available, but many of them are just barely drinkable.I have to go along with a reviewer on another site who said that it's OK the Keurig doesn't make a full mug, because you wouldn't want to drink a full mug of this stuff anyway.
Great Cup of Coffee in your home
This little machine makes as good, if not better, than any Starbucks or coffee house.Not near the expense or the trouble to get.I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys a "good" cup of coffee to start the day.I also purchasedthe my k cup reuseable coffee filter and it works great!!!! ...

Editorial Review

This is one programmable coffeemaker that's actually very easy to program. The touch-pad buttons are intuitive, and the printed directions clear, so there's no excuse for not waking up to the aroma of a freshly brewed pot of java. To prepare for making a pot at any hour, the lid lifts up (hinges in rear), exposing the brew basket: add a flat-bottomed paper filter and the ground coffee of your choice. There's ample pour space for water, the level of which you can view through a convenient window on either side. Simply close the lid and push the On button. Auto/On and the clock buttons set the time for delayed start. Read more

great coffeemaker
I recently bought this from Amazon. It was shipped promptly and I received it in excellent condition, much sooner than I expected. It is so easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee. There is no way it would leak on the counter if you put the pot back on the warmer correctly. It only fits in a certain way. My advice is go ahead and buy it, for the price, you won't find anything better.

It works
I got it and it not only looks great it works. That's what we are all looking for any way in a great coffee maker.

Best Coffee Maker I Have Ever Owned
We have had it for about four months with absolutely no complaints.Friends who have seen it went out and bought one.The complaints about short time staying hot are from people who don't read the manual.You can easily set it for 4 hours and, unlike typical hot plates on carafes, this one keeps the coffee hot without burning it.Easy to clean.

Loved it until this morning.
I have had the Cuisinart DCC-2000 Coffeemaker for about six months or so and loved it.This morning, however, it decided to stop working correctly. I left the kitchen while it was brewing and all of the coffee leaked all over the counter.What a mess!I then made just 2 cups and put a coffee cup under the spout and watched it.Sure enough as the coffee was brewing the spout was spewing.I don't know what coffeemaker to buy now.

Good Coffee - Bad Quality Control
I am about to return my third DCC-2000. These coffeemakers make great coffee and they are just the style I want. Everything worked great on the first one, but it only made one pot of coffee and then everything died. I returned it and got another one. The second one kept brewing OK, but I was never able to set the time of day or the Auto On/Auto Off times. I took that one back and got a third one. This one is like the second one except that I can set Auto On and Off times, but still can't set the time of day.

• Size/Capacity: 2 Boxes, 12 Pods Each

Reviews (15)

doesn't produce as rich as hand packed
First of all, it is silly to buy food in large quantity before you taste it. I got a package of 12 pods from my local starbucks for 4.95. I used it with my Saeco Via Veneto Espresso machine, it is on the lower end but nontheless a serious machine and could produce excellent espresso. However, the pod contains less than half what i usually pack and produce far inferior espresso with much less cream and aroma. And for the same money, you can buy four or five times more espresso grind. If you do not like the mess, get a tamper that fits the size of your machine.

Pour out the grounds???
I wish I had read some of these reviews before I bought both the caff and decaff pods, along with my Mr. Coffee Espresso maker.My first 2 tries yielded a liquid that looked like very weak tea.It's messy to cup open the pods and get the grounds into the little basket.So I dumped them all into a jar.
Espresso Shot vs. a Coffee Cup
It is truly amazing that people don't know the difference between espresso pods and coffee pods. Espresso pods are used for making a "shot" of espresso and coffee pods will make a "single cup" of coffee, big difference. These are ESPRESSO PODS and should be used in a ESPRESSO MACHINE, not a coffee machine. Secondly, the "standard" pod for espresso is called "ESE" or easy serving espresso and that is what these pods are made for. Anyone that bought them and tried them in a pod coffee machine like a Black & Decker or Senseo found out that they don't work. Nobody should cut them open unless they want to pay 5x more for espresso or fine ground coffee. Get yourself a ESE espresso machine and do it the right way. ... Read more

A handy workhorse for homes where tea is a staple, this 3.0-liter Micom pot from Zojirushi boils water then keeps it hot. Equipped with a handy electric dispenser, the unit requires no pouring and makes it easy to fill mug after mug or add a quick shot of hot water to a bowl of oatmeal or ramen. A micro-computerized heating system monitors water temperature precisely and includes a re-boil mode and three keep-warm settings of 175, 195, or 208 degrees F. In addition, a dechlorinating mode helps reduce chlorine and odors, while a descaling mode cleans the interior pot. The unit also has a timer so you can program it to have water hot on your schedule.

Should have gotten this long ago!
My sister has 2 of Zojirushi's air pump model always going in her house.I don't even think that she owns a kettle any longer.I loved the idea of never having to wait to have any kind of warm drink or soup but I have medical issues and did not have the strength to keep pushing the pump.
Hot.
Does a fine job of heating water and keeping it hot. It seems like a safe design too, with a sealing top and an automatic lockout switch that would be somewhat baby-resistant.
Top of the Line of Hot Water Pots
We started drinking lots of tea and I was tired of nuking it in the mircowave, plus sometimes you just want some luke warm water but it comes out of the faucet freezing cold in winter. So the electric hot water pot seemed to be the ticket.

Editorial Review

A virtually unbreakable polycarbonate carafe makes this coffee press sturdy enough for picnics or camping. To use a French press, grounds are placed in the bottom of the (preheated with hot water, if possible) carafe, then near-boiling water added. The lid with its stainless-steel rod and filter is pushed down after a few minutes of steeping, and the coffee is ready to pour. Many coffee aficionados swear by the French press method. The Hugo features a second mesh screen in the lid that removes even more of the coffee grounds sediment typically left behind by most coffee presses.Read more

BonJour Unbreakable French Press Broke
The inside plastic bottom press plunger part broke with the first 2 weeks of use. It simply broke into pieces. We used it 8 times or so before this happened.
Great for travellers
I read here that quite a few people have had problems with the screens and/or the plunger part breaking. I haven't had that problem with mine at all, but I'm careful not to grind my coffee too fine and I press very carefully.
What a disapointment
Makes great coffee some times.If one is not very careful, the coffee will shoot out the top when you press the plunger and scald the coffee maker!Even with the little tab turned to block the spout, has an unbreakable flask yet the inside press part just broke apart after one month.

Hamilton Beach 47454 found satisfactory
We've been using this coffeemaker at work for a month, and it's far better than the old Mr. Coffee because the HB BrewStation doesn't 'fry' to coffee.Four hours of warming takes a pot up to lunchtime, and then sometimes I clean the carafe and simply make hot water for afternoon tea, which stays hot all afternoon.
This is fantastic.
This is much better then my first brewstation- it hasn't leaked, it seems to have a tighter seal. I have M.S.- Multiple Sclerosis, I can't use carafes, because I have a shaking hand. I don't have to worry with the pouring of coffee with this. And it matches my silver & black appliances.

Still needs just a little improvement
I bought the first brewstation but after 2 years it started leaking from the dispenser and it was nothing you could do to fix it.I really had gotten use the 1-handed dispensing though and went for the step-up.The biggest problem with the new brewstation is I do not like the seive like brew basket (can be used with or without paper filters) being your only brew basket. Unless you have you coffee pot next to a garbage can get use to coffee streaming into the floor as you take the old grounds to the can before brewing another pot. It does this with or without a paper filter. All in all I still like it a lot,especiallythe newly designed "on" switch and "program" switch. The older designed brewstation had one switch that you hit once for brew and twice for program.It seemed like I was constantly making coffee when I meant to hit program or waiting on coffee to find I had set it to program. (The only problem I have found so far with this coffee pot is the filter basket.) ... Read more

Poorly designed but not all bad.
When I purchased this, it had far better reviews.The biggest complaint was that it didnt keep the coffee hot.However, Ive found that the coffee will stay hot for hours as long as you dont leave it sitting on the coffeemaker.This is due to the position of the lid when the carafe is in the brewing position.The lid is pressed down slightly when its brewing and releases heat.Removing the carafe after it finishes brewing alleviates this problem.
This is the worst coffeemaker I ever owned even though it's the most expensive I've ever owned.
I had great hopes for it.First, the filter basket arrived with a broken piece due to poor West Bend packaging so I had to go through the hassle of returning the entire coffeemaker.Once I started using it to make coffee, it started to periodically run over - usually because the coffee shoots somewhat sideways out of the cone and doesn't go into the pot but rather out over its side.I have tried every imaginable thing in terms of finer and coarser grind of the coffee, etc.Finally put a cookie sheet under the entire coffeemaker so at least it doesn't run down the front of the counter and onto the floor.Forget using the timer feature - who would want that mess developing before you woke up in the morning?I am normally an easy to please person who has reasonable expectations for products, but this is a dud.I suspect the favorable reviews of having been entered by West Bend employees.

Doesn't stay hot!
I wanted a thermal carafe pot so I could brew coffee once in the morning and have it stay hot for at least a few hours but this does NOT keep the coffee hot for very long even if you take it off the base to keep the closure sealed. Perhaps the coffee maker doesn't brew it hot enough in the first place. Warming the pot first helps but not enough and isn't practical if you like to use the timer function. I also have a complaint about the lid because it is hard to get all the liquid out when you're washing it. Spend the extra money and get a better machine! ... Read more

Pleasantly surprised
I had been searching for a coffee maker with a built-in grinder and even went as far as purchasing a Cuisinart for $150.00, which I didn't care for and returned.There aren't that many coffee makers out there with the built-in grinders, so I decided to give the Sanyo a try.I must admit I was pleasantly surprised at how hot the coffee was (compared to the Cuisinart) and how delicious.I was a little bit disappointed in that I thought the grinder automatically ground the coffee and brewed it, but got over that quickly, since everything else was so great.I also would have preferred the coffee maker been in black rather than the dark gray color, but again, it is a minor flaw to me.All in all, for the money, I don't think there is a better coffeemaker out there with the features it has for the low price.Buy it!Patricia Davis in Cave Creek, AZ

Perfect coffee maker for the office
This coffee maker is a 6 cup maker, which equates to about 2 office cups, perfect for the early morning coffee drinker.
Does as it says

By doing away with filters and cones, this 23-ounce French press from Frieling makes rich, delicious coffee in a self-contained, non-electric design. The press also smartly sidesteps the problem of breakable glass carafes with its high-quality 18/10 stainless-steel construction. At once beautiful, sleek, and sturdy, the mirror-finish piece has a satisfying weight, a comfortable full-length handle, and an all-steel mesh plunger mechanism ideal for coarse coffee grounds or loose tea leaves. Frieling's double-wall construction keeps hot beverages hot and cold ones cold if you use the pitcher by itself for milk or juice. Standing 8-5/8 inches high, the press disassembles completely for washing by hand or running through the dishwasher. Read more

• 18/10 stainless-steel, double-wall construction keeps coffee or tea warm after brewing

Beautiful, but Does Not Keep Coffee Hot
I'm so disappointed with this french press. I preheat the press with hot water, and brew the coffee for 5 minutes. The Bodum stainless steel press I have then pours coffee that is piping hot. I bought the Frieling press for my office because I thought it was so great looking. I'm just baffled by the fact that the coffee is lukewarm after 5 minutes. It seems that a lot of air can escape from the spout. The Bodum lid is designed to block air from escaping through the spout. The Frieling lid is not. No one else has mentioned this problem in their review, so I'm confused. It seems like a huge design flaw.

The Best That You Can Buy
I now own three of these outstanding coffee presses - all three sizes - and in my opinion, it is by far and away the best coffee press on the market today. In addition to it's pure functionality the eye-catching design makes it a great addition to any kitchen or for that matter, the galley of my boat.

Coffeehouse owner loves this french press
I love this french press. When at home and away from our commercial espresso machine and brewers, we have tried a variety of brewing methods and usually opt for the french press. We have owned quite a few french presses but none have been so well constructed and handsome as this. It is worth the extra bucks; we plan to purchase more for gifts this Christmas. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Farberware's attractive and intelligently designed cordless percolator combines "cup-a-minute" coffee brewing with serving portability and smart features. Its durable stainless-steel body, with a high-polish finish, strong stay-cool handle, and see-through top, fits securely on the base and rotates for easy lifting. Cup measurements are stamped discreetly on the side of the container. The plug-in percolating base is circular, with the heat element toward the back and the tidy timer and power switches at the front. Set a brew time with a programmable clock/timer, or percolate immediately. The base of the percolator plugs in, but the pot itself is cordless for easy, freewheeling serving. Read more

A disapointment, it lasted just two years
This percolater makes great coffee and I was very happy with it until it broke within two years. Actually the first thing that broke was the little plastic knob on the top. I called the company and they were very nice about it. They quickly sent me a replacement part. I thought, what a great company. Then when it would not work one morning just a little over two years after I bought it I called them again. They explained that it was no longer under warranty (I think I missed the warranty term by a month or two.) They offered that I could purchase a refurbished one from them for about half the price of the original (I paid about $70.00, a refurbished one was, I think, $35.00) but it came with no warranty and I'd have to pay shipping. I was very, very disappointed. Thankfully, I had my old drip coffee maker in the attic. I pulled that out and have been using it although it does not make as good a cup of coffee as this percolator did.
Great coffee maker
I purchased this coffee maker and it is the best I have owned. The best thing is I only paid $23.99 for the coffee maker. What a deal!! So what, if it only lasts a year or two.

Cordless, programmable, and yummy.What more could you ask for?
I've had one of these for many years and it recently went on the fritz after a LOT of usage.I'm getting another.It can't be beat - and the fact that it's cordless is huge.You can have a table full of folks for dinner, and walk around freely with your percolator; no unplugging required.And the coffee comes out delicious. ...

Orininal one was Great - This is Junk
I am the only coffee drinker in my family and had a Brew N' Go for over 6 years when the mesh filter began to separate from the plastic.Unfortunately, Black and Decker changed the design and I was unable to find a replacement filter from them or anybody.I looked for a replacement single cup coffee maker in several retailers and finally found one on Amazon at a very reasonable price.
