Zojirushi - EC-DAC50 Zutto 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker

Zojirushi makes the best drip coffee & you can replace individual parts if needed. Have had mine since 2017 and its still going strong. Timer options so it brews automatically in the morning is also helpful so you can just get up and go without worrying about making it in the morning.

Love my zojirushi 5 cup makes quality coffee and about $100

I would remove the carafe for the beginning of the brew to allow more of an immersion brew, and reinsert/release the coffee after 3 or 4 minutes. The Zutto is literally half the size of the Moccamaster, so it makes sense that it would handle smaller amounts more easily. Obviously this is a hack because the KBGV is not designed for single cups.

Howdy, Hoping to find someone that has used or at least touched a Zojirushi Zutto. I brew one 336g/21g cup weekday mornings. I have a Zojirushi Zutto and think it makes pretty decent small volume drip. I am tired of how cheap it feels. It is super light weight plastic with a carafe the feels like it is one bump away from shattering. I like the smallish footprint. I've looked at the moccamaster cup one but it looks like the water distribution worse than the Zutto. I don't want to take the time for pour over during the week. I'm also considering a switch or cleaver but really like the convenience of drip. Does anyone have any suggestions? TIA

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed, helpful response. The more I look the more I realize why I picked the Zutto in the first place. I was set to buy the Aiden until I saw all the plastic. I think for now I am going to stick with the Zutto but will certainly report back if I find anything else. Like most of us, my first priority is taste. I'll take coffee I like from a machine I don't over the opposite any day.

My Zojirushi is a beast. Not one issue in 5 years of daily use.

Have the same one, can’t recommend it enough. Especially if you need your coffee to start before you wake up.

We have this one and love it!

Did you order the Zojirushi from Amazon? I got one for my mom and she had the exact same experience. Turns out the water was coming out at 150f when contacting the beans (typically this is 200-205f) so it was WAY too low. Filed a claim with Zojirushi and they said Amazon is not an authorized reseller to take it up with them. (Amazon sucks and sells a ton of used/broken stuff so I’m not surprised by this) Returned it to Amazon, and bought direct instead and it’s MUCH better. I own a MM and it is better for sure. But 0 bells and whistles.

I highly recommend the Zohirushi 5 cup. Consistent brew every time. Of course a lot depends on the coffee but imo this does it well

I second the Zojirushi, stays warm forever too

I have a Zojirushi. Makes good coffee, brews into a thermos and stays hot all day.
