 Krups gold filter does not fit July 12, 2010

The amazon site suggests buying the Krups 052 Gold Tone Filter for use with this coffee maker. It DOES NOT fit. I had to return the gold filter. I have been using bamboo filters and am pleased with the results.
Good simple, small maker July 7, 2010

This can make excellent coffee with the few caveats mentioned in some of the other reviews. In particular, its water heater isn't quite fast enough in heating water to the proper temperature (200F). Basically, the first water out is cooler than it should be, but then it warms up as the maker progresses. It works fine when starting out with room temperature/warm water. This is no Technivorm, but its a lot cheaper and smaller.
Water is dispersed in a 5 point pattern -- the 4 corners of a square plus the center. In general, grounds are pretty well saturated if you don't put too much in (not an issue). Roughly, the upper limit works out to 5-6 scoops of beans (the provided scoop holds about 14grams of beans). Beyond this amount, the grounds are likely to bloom and hit the filter cover as well as not get saturated evenly. If looking for a gold tone filter, the Cuisinart GTF-4 works fine. The Krups 052 filter will NOT fit. The Krups filter is too large and will not allow the plastic top to fit onto the filter holder.
Very nice coffeemaker. July 5, 2010

I have had my Zojirushi for a week now and have only 1 complaint. I would love the lid to be a little more secure on the carafe, otherwise it's a great product. Nice looking, takes up very little space, and produces a nice, hot cup of coffee. Clean up is a breeze with this unit. Very pleased with my purchase and well worth the money.
Well-made Coffeemaker July 2, 2010

I'm really pleased with the mechanics of this coffeemaker. It's well made and designed. It works as advertised and makes good coffee.
My only comment relates more to how I like coffee than to the coffeemaker. I like generally strong coffee. I gravitate to the bold coffees at Starbucks, and some of them aren't bold enough for me. The gold standard for me is a Melitta cone filter coffeemaker that I pour into by hand. I know just how to pour so the coffee pools in the filter and spends more time in contact with the grounds, but yet doesn't drain too quickly. Accordingly most drip coffeemakers make coffee I find too weak. Same deal with the french press, because the coffee doesn't all steep in the grounds and then flow through.
Back to the Zojirushi. It has two large holes relative to my favorite Melitta, which has one smaller one, so I completely plugged one of them and partially plugged the other to make it drain more slowly and extract more coffee flavor. By doing that it's now the equal to my Melitta, and much much less trouble than having to stand there and manually drip water into the grounds.
Great little coffee maker June 16, 2010

The thing I like the most about this coffee maker is that it is so clean. I should explain that I had to get rid of my last coffee maker because it got infested with ants - little caffiene crazy monsters that built a whole ant society in the bottom of the machine. Hopefully they will leave Zutto alone because there is no danger of coffee overflowing the filter basket and getting into the water tank and generally making a mess everytime I brew. Zutto's design has the coffee filter basket separate from the machine; it sits in the top of the oversized glass carafe. This means nothing is going through the machine itself except water. And the separate basket makes it especially easy to dump the grounds and rinse it out every time you brew.
Additionally Zutto seems to be well made; it's plastic but it's not cheap plastic. And it makes good coffee, hotter than my last couple of machines, and has a built in water filter.
The filter basket and its lid do just sit in the top of the carafe, and the instructions recommend more than once that you keep your thumb on the tab at the top of the handle so that it doesn't all fall out when you pour. This has not been a problem for me, though some people might not like that.
My only complaint has to do with the labeling of the number of cups. We are all used to the riddiculously small measure of 5 ounces that seems to be the standard size used on American coffee pots. Due to some crazy mixup with the metric system, Zutto's cups are only about 4 ounces. You need to make 3 cups to fill up a mug, and the machine should be compared to others that claim to be 4 cups, not 5. However, Zutto does come with an appropriately sized down scoop that will keep your coffee strength at the level recommended by your local barrista.
