I replaced my 10 yo Black & Decker coffee maker. My hope was to have tasty coffee every day. Price of this one is 4x higher than the  old one. I usually buy roasted beans and grind them before brewing. When I first tried it and compared it with B&D. I followed instructions for Zutto, but for B&D, I followed my routine. Zutto needs more beans than B&D, so the taste is stronger than B&D. I need to adjust the beans for my favorite taste. But I felt Zutto had a flavor when I make cold coffee by brewing with cold water. I hope this will last as long as old B&D.
