Zojirushi EC BD15 Fresh brew coffee maker is 15 inch consider pretty tall coffee maker. Before brewing and you have to swing the lid for pouring the water and coffee.  The hot steam comes out from the top part so it is not wise to let it brew directly under the counter top, better to pull it out from under the cabinet when it's running. This could be little bit tricky if you have shallow counters.

Zojirushi Fresh Brew doesn’t use hot plate, so you won’t find a burnt coffee smell. The coffee drip into stainless steel thermal carafe and it keeps the coffee hot for hours without altering the taste. The thermal carafe is quite stylish; it stays cool to the touch, perfectly insulated and has no breakable glass liner like some carafes have. The base has an easy to read water level indicator, with markings up to 10 cups, apparently this 10 cups indicator slightly larger than Braun or other coffee maker 10 cups indicator Braun.

This coffee maker considers automatic drip coffee maker. It has an electric timer clock module to set the coffee to complete brewing by the desired time. You’ll love how easy it is to take apart to clean up, all Zoji coffee maker parts (except the base, of course) is dishwasher safe.

One minor drawback of this coffee maker is it uses #4s paper filters but this paper filter slightly hanging over. You have to push is a little otherwise it will catch the handle and the paper will not place properly. For under $83 this Zojirushi EC BD15 Fresh brew thermal carafe coffee maker is a stealer, this coffee maker comes with absolutely everything you need to get a great coffee.

I have 2 sessions in a day where I can taste my cup of coffee, first in the morning as usual and feel even better during weekend and another one while relaxing after a busy. Taste a good coffee start by coffee beans selection before we can roast, grind, or brew. Personally I have 3 tips to get a the best coffee beans

Coffee is unique, every single origin has its characters, I recommend try many as possible before stick to one, two, or three your most favorite coffee. In my opinion there are no such the best coffee in the world every single coffee is unique, find your most favorite taste: rich, strong, and slightly acid or smooth and balance.

Choose your favorite store and stick with them (unless they are out of stock) Find the coffee beans from your neighborhood will even better, this all about trust. When you choose your trusted store you can go wrong. Now many store offer a sampler product to let their customer experienced coffee taste.

The beans freshness and quality. A fresh coffee will taste so much better than an old one. For this reason it is critical for me to buy freshly roasted beans if I’m not plan to roast it by myself. A fresh coffee should be clean and dry.  

After then roast and brew as you like, pour in a carafe, insulated coffee mug, or coffee travel mug. I recommend choosing a stainless steel mug rather than a plastic mug.

And remember, once you have found the best coffee beans and roast for you, you always can order online and have your little indulgence delivered to your door.
