☕ Zojirushi EC-YTC100XB Coffee Maker: Premium Stainless Steel/Black 10-Cup Brewer Review

I had trouble cleaning the first try. The unit keeps shutting down and needs to cool down to continue the cleaning cycle. After calling support I was told I need to send it in for repair which will take 2 weeks. Unbelievable! What should I do - buy another coffee maker while mine is being repaired. They will not refund my money and I only bought it in September. So much for their one-year warranty! Carefully! This coffee maker needs to be cleaned every 4 weeks with citric acid which costs about

We needed a coffee maker with a removable water tank that would fit under a shelf in our coffee bar. After reading hundreds of reviews from four different manufacturers, we decided to give this one a try. It's been about a month now and we are very happy with the operation. Both the storage container and the coffee basket allow you to work comfortably under the cupboard. The coffee basket slides out so that the used coffee grounds can be easily removed. The unit comes with a fine mesh filter…

I've been using this coffee maker for a few weeks now and am very happy. I had to upgrade my one-cup Keurig coffee maker to something more powerful after moving in with a friend. I have long liked the Zojirushi rice cooker, so I was excited when I saw that they also make coffee makers. older model. The stainless steel sieve is great and the carafe keeps the coffee hot for so long. This was a great benefit because my girlfriend wakes up 3 hours earlier than me and it prevents us from making 2…

I have used the Zojirushi YSC100 for many years to brew very strong coffee (full filter, half water) but the latter was lost when I moved house. We bought a YTC100XB but simply gave up in favor of the Moccamaster due to the poor quality and temperature of the coffee. Zojirushi is great for ease of use and cleaning. The 100 series machines do this best. Removable water tank prevents water from entering the counter when filling the device. The coffee filter holder is quick and easy to clean and…

I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews before I bought Zojirushi Fresh Brew and I was really excited when it finally arrived arrived. I liked the fact that it looked great and I could remove the water tank for easy refilling in the morning. After 3 months of using the car I can honestly say that this thing is a wreck of a train. The biggest issue I have with this machine is that it randomly overflows, spilling coffee and coffee onto the counter and into drawers below. At first my…

Overall I'm happy with this coffee maker. It replaces the Cuisenart, which I vowed never to buy again from a company that doesn't mind using a terrible $90 LCD. I read a review of the WireCutter coffee maker but settled on the OXO brand due to its height and some other minor issues. They rejected the previous version of the Z because the brewing temperature was below 200 degrees Fahrenheit and the brewing was slow. Both criticisms apply to this new model, which is why I'm deducting a star. I…

I'm a good coffee lover; I've been roasting beans myself since the 1990's, have a Pasquini Livia 90 and a Rocky Rancilio for espresso, a couple of presses and a Chemex for infusion. On weekday mornings when we need to get out the door I used the Capresso MT-500 which was on its last legs. I decided another automatic drip was in order. I've reviewed all of the current high end coffee makers but insisted on something with a thermograph, 200 degree brew temp, pre infuse, brewed over 40 ounces of…

UPDATE TWO WEEKS LATER - Still waiting for a 'decision' on the 'warranty' to send me a new decanter lid. They guard it like their entire quarterly profit is at stake. If you're looking for a coffee maker that you can pour over your counter and floor, there are plenty of options for $50. There's no point in buying a car for $200. Sitting here at the 60 day mark. And a few copies with coffee on the counter and on the floor. First it was great, coffee stayed warm all night which seemed good…
