While researching some of the best selling coffee makers on the market today, we happened upon the Zojirushi EC-BD15BAFresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker. And while this model doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that some of those super-expensive coffee makers possess, it is still being touted by many customers as one of the best coffee makers available in the lower to intermediate price range. And since this model is marketed with an emphasis on providing better tasting coffee that stays nice and hot for hours at a time, we couldn’t resist finding out more about it. We’ve put all our findings for you here in this Zojirushi EC-BD15BAFresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker review.

Stainless Steel Carafe

Let’s face it – if coffee doesn’t stay hot, it isn’t very good, right? And just about every coffee maker around provides a built in hot plate to prevent coffee from getting cold. However, the hot plate is a double-edged sword. When standard, glass coffee carafes stay on heating plates for too long, the coffee gets burned. And if there’s one kind of coffee that’s even worse than cold coffee, it’s that nasty, smell burned stuff. The Zojirushi EC-BD15BAFresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker helps you to avoid ever having to smell – or heaven forbid, drink – burned coffee again.

This model comes with a sturdy, stainless steel coffee carafe. This carafe traps the brewing heat into every pot, which keeps the coffee hot. And the stainless steel also prevents the burned effect that plagues so many glass coffee carafes. The end result is coffee that stays fresh and hot for hours, without ever getting burned up and stinking up the whole house. If you’ve ever felt like there was just no way to keep your coffee nice and hot without burning it, you’ll love brewing up pot after pot into this gorgeous, well insulated metal carafe.

Brew and Pause

If you’ve ever wanted a cup of coffee, but had to wait for the entire pot to brew before getting that much-needed first cup, you know how important brew/pause features are. Essentially, this feature allows you to pause the coffee maker, pour yourself a cup from the carafe and then restart the coffee maker. With traditional coffee makers, that do not have this feature, the coffee keeps dripping and trying to get that quick cup results in a huge mess. Now this isn’t a feature that most people will rely on day in and day out. But on those days when you just have to grab a cup to get going, and don’t feel like waiting for the entire pot to brew, the brew pause feature can be a real life saver.

Automated Brewing

These days we’re all used to appliances that have automated settings. And perhaps no kitchen appliance needs a timed feature more than our coffee makers. If you get up at the same time every day, isn’t it nice to have steaming hot coffee waiting for you? The Zojirushi EC-BD15BAFresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker features and easy to use, automated feature that lets you choose the exact time that brewing should begin. All you have to do is add your favorite blend and water to the reservoir. Then you pick the time you want the machine to start brewing, and you’re all set to start off your day with delicious, freshly brewed coffee.
