 The Best In Its Category June 18, 2006

I spent a lot of time online looking for a 4 to 5 cup coffeemaker to suit my needs. There are the usual suspects: Mr. Coffee, Braun, etc, that seem to get universally bad to mediocre reviews from people, especially people who know anything about coffee. I decided to skip all of those and look for something that would make a really good cup of coffee.
My choices became limited to two coffeemakers: one made by a company called Bodum (which looks like some kind of laboratory beaker) and the Zojirushi Zutto. The Bodum model supposedly performed well and made excellent coffee under ideal conditions, but many people who reviewed it said that it was prone to mishaps such as overboiling. So I went with the Zojirushi. I was not disappointed.
The Zutto is extremely well-designed and functional. The coffee filter is in the lid of the pot (not attached to the maker, like most autodrip models), and there is a removable charcoal water filter to remove chlorine, etc. It's very easy to clean, attractive and perfect for a small space. After running water through it a few times to remove the burned-plastic taste you would get from any new coffeemaker, I brewed up a pot of Green Mountain. The coffee was excellent, the best I've ever had from an automatic drip maker. After the pot was left on the burner for 10 minutes, the coffee still tasted good, with only a very slight hint of a burned taste. I'm assuming this means that the heating element is set to the correct temperature for keeping the coffee warm.
There were no problems with pouring; you just have to place your thumb over part of the lid when you pour. The Zojirushi Zutto is a well thought-out and sturdy product, far better than anything comparable from any American company.

This coffeemaker was a bit more expensive than others available, but the engineering on this thing is just unbelievable. My wife and I have been using it for about three months now, and we still marvel at how well it works, and the quality of the coffee it makes. Some of the things we really like include the fact that we can take the removable resevoir to the sink to fill it rather than try to pour water into the machine with the possibility of spilling it; the conical container for the grounds is in the coffee pot, so it is very easy to empty the grounds, and coffee doesn't drip onto the heating plate after removing the pot; it uses a #2 paper filter, and I've found that a similarly sized Swiss Gold foil filter also works for those who don't want the paper filter to soak up the coffee bean oils (but you'll need to be a little more careful to hold the top on the pot when pouring the coffee if you don't remove the filter first; And I could go on with the good things. I don't believe it has an automatic shutoff on the hotplate, or at least we haven't found one, but we don't use it anyway. All in all, I think that using this is like driving a Lexus instead of a ten year old junker. It's a neat piece of equipment, and it makes great coffee.
excellent coffee maker! March 15, 2007

After a long search for the perfect smaller-size coffee maker, I took a "chance" on this Zojirushi 5-cupper. I never knew Zojirushi made coffee pots or anything else besides rice makers, but my familiarity with that quality product gave me a little brand confidence. I am VERY pleased with my decision. First off, the color is great because being grey, it does not show the coffee stains in the filter area, if it even stains (I have seen none yet). HUGE plus is the removable water tank because now you can clean it real good. The tank can also be filled while out of the machine which make is easier to see, if necessary. An unusual feature is that the filter is in the pot, not the machine. However, I now love this feature because, once again you can really clean it good! Also note this is a cone filter (#2) and that means good strong coffee. love it love it love it
Here's the real scoop - at least IMO July 6, 2009

I have only had the Zutto coffee maker for less than a week, but can already say that I like it a great deal. It does not have all the bells and whistles of many other coffee makers, but it does make great coffee into a glass, not un-insulated metal carafe. It does have a water level indicator, unlike the only other (as far as I know) four cup cone-type filter machine. Having the removable water tank is a great feature. Now, let me talk about some of the negatives mentioned in other reviews. Some have said that a gold-tone permanent filter will not fit. I don't know where they got that information; I have one and it fits and works beautifully. As to the coffee not being hot enough - 180 degrees is supposed to be 'optimal' for brewing; I measure 173.8 on a very good digital cooking thermometer right after brewing. I can't believe that 6.2 degrees makes that much difference, and I do not consider this "not hot" as stated in another review. I have no trouble holding the lid in place while pouring. I see no splatter of hot water during brewing. No, you cannot get a cup during brewing, but with a coffee maker this small, the short wait should not hurt. I now use a smaller amount of coffee than I did in either a Black and Decker or a Mr Coffee and get stronger, more flavorful coffee with more aroma than with either of the above. What's not to like? Oh, you have to turn it off manually...Oh well!
Great coffee and easy to use October 30, 2006

This is a very nice coffeemaker for anyone wanting a 4-5 cup maker. It is easy to use, no clocks to set, nothing to program, just add water, filter and coffee and press one botton. The coffee tastes great, better than my old vacuum style maker. It is easy to clean and looks good, uses #2 filters or cut down #4's.
