The Zojirushi Fresh Brew does that, too, but in home-sized batches. It looks great, too, with a glossy black body and stainless steel carafe and brew basket.

Excellent coffee maker, very happy purchase!

Husband says best coffee ever …
We really enjoy this coffeemaker. It’s very light - I think its because it does not have a heater plate. Instead the coffee drips into a stainless steel pot.

A real workhorse
Our Zoji has been our daily driver and has worked great for almost three years now. Its thermal carafe is extremely effective — the best we’ve found anywhere — *if* you preheat…
