Zojirushi EC-BD 15 Fresh Brew Review

We purchased the Zojirushi EC-BD15 after reading on-line reviews.  We had previously bought tried coffee makers by both Mr. Coffee and Cuisinart.  The Mr. Coffee would not keep the coffee hot as long as we wanted.  It instead tended to "cook" the coffee, leaving it tasting burnt if left on the warming pad.  The Cuisinart product had a thermal caraffe, which we loved.  We also liked the 12 cup capacity.  Unfortunately, the basket spring broke twice.

I put a lot of time into reading reviews, searching for a coffee pot that #1, would keep the coffee hot all morning, #2, have a stainless steel carafe, #3, make a good tasting product, and #4, be durable.  

The Zojirushi EC-BC15 Fresh brew fit all the search requirements.  It has performed well for the 2 years since we purchased it. My only (minor) complaint is that the carafe is only available in a ten cup capacity, instead of the 12 cup I prefer.
