Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker

Customer Review: Zojirushi EC-BD15 drip coffee maker makes hot coffe that stays hot
Summary: 4 Stars

I've been searching for a drip coffee maker that makes hot coffee and keeps it hot. This one with the difficult to pronounce name does just that. The drip basket is thermally insulated so the water does not cool as it accumulates in the basket. The result is hot coffee in the insulated carafe that stays hot for a couple of hours. The only minus is that you have to be careful to clean the drip basket after use. If grounds get into the spring loaded drip mechanism the water can back up and the result is coffee everywhere. This happened twice before I consulted the manual. The good news is the the drip basket is easily removed. It simply slides up. You clean it and you're in business.

Description of Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker

Zojirushi Fresh Brew Coffee Maker EC-BD15 features a 1.5 liter stainless steel vacuum insulated carafe with excellent keep-warm performance for fresh tasting coffee. Unlike other coffee makers with a burner that quickly bitters the taste of coffee, the Fresh Brew Stainless Steel Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker comes with a stainless steel thermal carafe that keeps the coffee hot for hours without altering the taste. It also features an electric timer clock module to set the coffee to complete brewing by the desired time.
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
