Zojirushi - EC-YTC100XB

I swear by my zojirushi drip coffee maker. Thermal carafe that keeps coffee hot all day & can set a timer to start whenever you want. I prep everything the night before and have it start at 5am. https://shop.zojirushi.com/products/ecytc

Zojirushi EC-YTC100XB. The only units better are the Mochamasters.

We, too, were unimpressed with the Moccamaster, especially given its price. After trying it for a week after our old Zojirushi coffee maker died, we ended up going back to a Zojirushi and bought the EC-YTC100XB. It’s been running great for 7 years. Has an insulated vacuum carafe, water comes out of the head at a consistent 190 degrees, and has a timer. It’s less than $200. The drip coffee out of this tastes as good as a pour over.

I recently had to replace my coffee maker. The selections I went through leave me convinced that you're not going to find anything worthwhile under $300. I'm talking the simplest of requirements like programmable and actually brews coffee at the programmed time. Doesn't overflow. Lets you use a paper filter. I don't need a "gold star standard" cup of coffee. Who are they to tell me what my coffee should taste like? I don't need a sensor to tell me my water level is correct or that my carafe is in the appropriate place, I have eyes. I ended up with a 10-cup Zojirushi with a stainless steel carafe that I got for under $300 during a sale on Amazon. It's not a 12-cup like I wanted. It doesn't like paper filters. It doesn't have a lit display and doesn't display the time when the timed brew is programmed. It does everything else well, and I'm tired of dealing with the poor selection out there. The only models that ticked all my boxes were $500, and there's no guarantee they're going to last long enough to justify the elevated cost.

Came here to suggest this exact Zojirushi! We’ve had ours for almost 9 years now and it’s still going strong. Love the auto brew setting, which we use every morning. Cannot recommend it enough.

I have the 10-cup thermal carafe Zojirushi and its awesome. While not SCA certified, the coffee coming out of the shower head is in the correct temperature range, and it has a bloom phase. The thermal carafe is very well made. I bought it because I needed a 10-cup capacity brewer with a timer and thermal carafe / no hot plate.

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

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

I have the same one and love it.

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.

They make a great product and it will last forever.
