I've owned one for two years now, it serves it's purpose as a drip coffee maker, no complaints.

Yes! I own this one. My wife and I have different preferences for our coffee. It makes two mugs of coffee all for me. It's a no frills simple design, the heat plate isn't too hot, and in typical Japanese fashion, it's compact.

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.
