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.
I actually replaced my Moccamaster with a Zojirushi coffee maker(the Zutto) that cost a lot less and makes imo a better cup of coffee.
To op’s point, it’s about water temp and how well the machine can saturate and drain through the coffee.
The Zojirushi does it “better”.
