Question: Is this only a 10 cup or 12 cup?
Document: The only improvement I could suggest is increasing the capacity to a 12 cup versus a 10 cup.
Would also prefer to see 12-cup capacity instead of 10. Note that the controls and water level indicator is on the side instead of in front. Finally -- something designed for a left-hander!Overall, it is a nice rig for the price - I would recommend it to friends and family and buy it again if I needed another machine.
Interesting, my #4 Krups goldtone filter fits perfectly.I've had no overflow or leakage problems (though I am not trying to make 12 cups in a 10 cup pot either!). The only concern is the carafe lid is sometimes challenging to get open. It has ridges on it, which can be hard on hands, though using a towel to open easily solves the problem.
It should be IMPOSSIBLE to brew with the topper on. Major flaw!Have had a Keurig for a while for weekend coffee, and cmopletely appreciate the incredible engineering of that machine. It gives me hope there is an equally good 10-12 cup brewer equally as good at a reasonable price. But it's NOT going to be a Zorji!UPDATE ON 1/18/2012I've had this coffeemaker for over a year now, and for the most part, am still mostly pleased with it.
It was a toss up between the Zojirushi 10 cup thermal and the Cuisinart 12 cup thermal. I decided to go with the Zoji 10 cupper and am a happy customer for over a month. 3 things helped me decide. #1: The Cuisinart has a loud alarm when done brewing. If you have sleeping kids, then you know this will not do. #2: I noticed my doctor had one in his office and said he had it for 5 years and loves it.
Design does not allow for a rich brew to be obtained. I am using more coffee in this 10 cup pot then I did my old 12 cup and it is still weak. The water runs through it so fast there is no time for the coffee to brew. The water does not get as hot as previous makers I have had and that may be the problem. The water has to be hot to brew. Another issue, the stainless steel pot is very thin and does not retain heat.
We have learned to use a little less coffee (we like it strong so were probably using coffee for 12 cups in a 10-cup machine) and keep one eye on it while brewing. *sigh* Still searching for the perfect, simple automatic coffeemaker. Too bad, this one seemed great at first!SECOND (AND LAST) UPDATE:Done now, used for 8 months. It's just too touchy, and it overflowed for the last time yesterday, it's outa here.
I researched and researched to find a 12 cup thermal drip coffee pot. I settled on a 10 cup and then on this one. I read the reviews and consumers report. I get it, fill it, and have a mess on my counter. Leaked like crazy. I had run one pot through with clean water as directed and then filled it for the next morning when I went to move the pot there was a ton of water on the countertop.
Bought this machine for the office. I wanted a thermal carafe because, too often, we break the glass carafes or forget to turn off the burner and ruin them. Very happy with this coffee maker. It does what it's supposed to do - brews coffee and keeps it hot in the carafe. I did take the advice of another reviewer and I swish around a little hot water in the carafe before brewing. The only thing I wish were different is that it were 12 cup instead of 10.
And that's without preheating the carafe.Spout is okay, it'll pour with the lid turned any way once "open". Timer is easy to use and works.Takes about 8 minutes for 10 cups of coffee. It is a bit loud when shooting the hot water from the tank to the filter cup.Speaking of the filter cup / basket, the whole thing comes apart easily for cleaning. NICE!Only wish it were a 12 cup model.
Answer: I want to say its a ten cup. I will say that I never got to use it because mine leaked from the water level window and base so I returned it and now dont remember the exact cup capacity.
