Zojirushi - EC-DAC50 Zutto 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker

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

Second zojirushi! My parents have had theirs for 10+ years and I also got one when I moved to college. My parents use theirs multiple times every morning. We have only had to replace the coffee pot if we break it since it’s glass, but you can buy replacement parts on their site

Zojirushi Zutto. Really like that the reservoir detaches.

Zojirushi Zutto EC-DAC50 Coffee Maker, if you don't need more than 2 large cups of coffee every morning. Empty nester family, this is perfect for us. My wife is a coffee person, she really likes the coffee this makes. No PDs required do it saves s pretty penny, too. Simple to use, cannot see what might go wrong with it.

This lil guy has been a monumental bang for the buck (<$100)… [Zojirushi EC-DAC50](https://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-EC-DAC50-Zutto-5-Cup-Coffeemaker/dp/B000EPLK6O/ref=asc_df_B000EPLK6O?mcid=b2a2c043798c329482f114456132786c&hvocijid=13038979648720604714-B000EPLK6O-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13038979648720604714&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9015261&hvtargid=pla-2281435180778&psc=1)

Nice! The hot plate doesn’t bother me on the 5-cup because the coffee’s not in the carafe long enough to impact the flavor. Goes right to the mug and down my gullet. And yes not SCA, but the temp is damn close, especially for the money.

Correct. Seems wonky, but makes it impossible to misalign the carafe under the dripper. I don’t mind because I never make more than a couple of cups at a time.

That’s the only reason we stopped using this exact item. It’s a tank and I loved the auto-start feature, but I just can’t do the plastic anymore 😭

I have the same one and love it.

I have a Zojirushi and my dad has the Mochamaster. Both make great coffee. But my Zoji has a crack in the carafe and it costs almost as much to replace as to buy a new one. For some reason that really rubs me wrong.

Love my Zojirushi.

I have the exact same model, mine sprung a leak in the heating element after two years. I’m not impressed.

Holy shit.  I just bought one at full price after a painful research project.  I fucking love it.  I am jealous of your price.

So far so good.  I thought it was funny in their video they went on about how good the pour was from the carafe.  Then I used it and was like damn that is a good pour.  It makes good coffee.  The removable water container is the best part.

I have that exact machine. $25 is a steal- you did well, as I ❤️ my zojirushi!

I, and the friend I sold on it, both got about 4 years out of zojirushi drip machines. Thermal carafes were great though. This was 10-15 years ago, not this model. Hope your experience is better than mine.

I don't have the Moccamaster but I have a Zojirushi, and will probably replace it with the Moccamaster. The biggest difference for me after having used many coffee makers over the years is brew temp. Cheap machines either start out with a low temp or degrade rapidly. You need a high brew temp to brew good coffee. There are people out there swearing by their 10 year old Mr Coffee but I'm sure their coffee is less-than-good and they're ok with that. Better machines will keep brewing at high temps for longer. If you care about good coffee, then you'd be replacing the cheap machines every couple years and it's more economical to just get a good machine like Moccamaster to start.

Me too, I've had it for about 6 years now and it's still making great coffee daily.

Love my Zojirushi as well. It's held up wonderfully with daily use for several years. Lasted much longer than previous machines.

They make a great product and it will last forever.

Agree
