Best tasting coffee ever and convenience as well

Undoubtedly, this makes the best coffee I've ever tasted. I see no reason for me to go back to hot-brewed coffee. Then there is the convenience factor. What this maker does is make what is essentially about 1-1/2 quarts or a little more of concentrate. I store the concentrate in one-quart BPA-free Nalgene bottles in the refrigerator. To make a single cup of coffee I dilute 6 ounces of the concentrate with 6 ounces of hot water and then microwave the 12 ounces of coffee for another 10-15 seconds.

The illustrations on Amazon do a good job of showing what you get. The Ball 2-Quart Wide Mouth Canning jar that is part of the kit sells for $4.40 + $7.55 Shipping on Amazon in case you wondering how to replace the jar if it gets broken. The jar itself is about 9-1/2 inches tall and bout 4-1/2 inches wide. The white plastic lid -- Ball Wide-Mouth Plastic Storage Caps, 8-Count by Ball are $6.27 on Amazon.

The critical components -- the stainless steel filter and the seal are both dishwasher safe along with the other components.

Coffee should be coarse ground. After some instruction by one of the grocery store employees I was able to open a bag of coffee beans and coarsely grind them into the bag.
UPDATE: I've never been a fan of iced coffee, but just for grins I tried some of the cold-brewed coffee cold and it tastes really good.

The Zojirushi EC-DAC 50 Zutto 5-cup coffeemaker has provided an excellent tasting and hot cup of coffee since my initial purchase. It is definitely comparable to the Bona Vita 1800 (at a much higher price) and superior to any other coffeemaker at comparable or higher prices. It is easy to use and service. It has a replaceable water filter that is usually changeable between one to two years. It's only limitation is that it's a 5 cup coffeemaker

I first tasted this coffee from a neighbor, using their Nespresso Citiz and I feel in love with the coffee as well as the machine. However I was never sure about purchasing a machine for myself as I was not drinking a lot of coffee at the time. I finally decided when the machine price was lowered and free shipping, and I am glad that I did!! Best coffee ever. Easy to use and clean, you will not be disappointed.

Best thing since sliced bread- love being able to try all different coffees without having to make a full pot.

I think my wife and I have tried half the Keurig Cup coffees on Amazon at one time or another, and I always avoided Starbucks because they are a little more expensive than the others, but having tried this coffee we are hooked. This is my wife's favorite while mine is their French Roast, but they are both exceptionally good in contrast to the others. We regard these coffees as one of life's little luxuries.

What a wonderful taste!!!  I LOVE THIS COFFEE!!!  I even love the look of the can.  I guess that the packaging "worked on me", but, it wouldn't have meant much if the coffee didn't also!!!  I can drink this at any time of the day.  It is such a clean and smooth taste to it.  I still have two batches of the coffee I was drinking before I got this and now I don't even want to touch them.  I will save those for when I have "company".

There is the best tasting coffee ever.  With or without milk or sugar, no bitter after-taste.

Excellent coffee that is convenient, arrived in a box rather than a bag that is easier to store in pantry

This coffee brewing system is the best ever! Every cup of coffee is consistently the same, and it is easy to set up and use. What is so great is that you can decide which cup size you want, and you are not limited to the K-cup brands since the brewer comes with the reusable coffee filter if you want to use the brand of coffee or tea that you are used to drinking. What I would have wanted to know before I purchased the product is if the reusable coffee filter makes coffee as good as the regular K-cups and if the system makes a consistently great-tasting beverage. The answer is definitely yes to both. We also have the Bunn restaurant-style coffee maker, but since we have this one, we use it more than the Bunn. With this system, you don't have to make several cups of coffee to sit on a burner and get stronger and throw out. Kudos to Amazon for the price as well--the lowest price anywhere.

Addendum: After buying a vacation home, I purchased another brand for there. It didn't make coffee hot enough. I gave it away and bought another one of these. The original one that I purchased did stop making coffee; however, I returned it to the manufacturer and they replaced it free of charge. I won't buy any other brand because I am so pleased with this one.

I absolutely love this coffee! I've never tried it before so I was pretty skeptical about just pouring the whole single serve packet into hot water but it all dissolved and it was the best tasting coffee I've ever tried! Just pour 8 oz of hot water per 1 single serve packet and you're good to go. I used sugar to sweeten it up but I didn't have to use my creamer. This coffee is so flavorful and easy to make in the mornings when I'm getting my son ready for school.
I received this product for free through Smiley360 in exchange for my honest review on Amazon and Nescaf&eacute;.

I love my little Senseo. Sure, French presses and larger machines have their place. Most mornings though, I just want to make myself one great cup of coffee, and this system does the trick.

The flavors in the pack are fantastic. The pods are sometime hard to find or over-priced, so buying these packs on Amazon is also very convenient.
If you don't use them that often, be sure to stick open bags in a ziploc bag & freeze them. The grounds stay fresher much longer.

Just got this DeLonghi and have to say it makes the best tasting coffee I've ever had with a home coffee maker!  The "Aroma button" time-releases water to saturate coffee grounds a little at a time.  That feature makes all the difference in the world!  I'm just using regular, name-brand coffee and it turns out wonderful!  You have to try it to believe it!

Even if it only lasts me about 6 months before it dies (according to some reviewers), I'll keep buying this same product/model from now on.  It's that good!

I fell in love with Keurig back in the early 2000s and have never looked back.  Not only is it convenient, but the coffee is a thousand times better than any brewing system that Ive ever owned.  Theres only one little problem with it though and that is the k-cups. I love the convenience of them, and the variety,. But lets face it they are expensive and not only that, they environmentally incorrect.  I drink a lot of coffee, and I cringe to think how many empty pods Ive contributed to landfills.  So I decided to try this Lotus Petal Sysrion reusable cup for Keurig.  Its great that I can fill it with my own fresh ground coffee, or store bought if I want. It works out great for me.  I just throw mine in the dishwasher when Im done, and Im done!  I would recommend this reusable Keurig filter to anyone, I love mine! I was given this item at no cost for my honest and unbiased review of it

I've been making chocolate flavored coffee for years and this is one of the best and most convenient.  Congratulations, Godiva!  I use two pods to make two cups with an expresso pod thrown in for taste as the third.  You won't regret it and there is a subscription price deal and free Prime delivery.  Green tea in the morning and this in the afternoon. Fabulous!

I love the ease and convenience of Folgers singles.  There's just me, and with the singles, I can have a cup of coffee any time I want one, with our having to fill up and run the coffee pot.

We are coffee snobs really must start our days in Southern California with a good, hot cup of coffee outside in the Zen Garden, or by pool in outdoor living area, with the newspapers. Great coffee is a must and with our conflicting busy schedules, he is up way before I and the coffee stays hot, tastes great,maintains its flavor after I wake up 2 hours after he brewed it. Great for couples who are on different schedules.  The blue button automatically turns off the warmer after two hours, so no worries, or "Oh NO moments when you are at your office about "did I leave my coffee maker on?" It turns itself off. Back to me when I sleep in, after two hours, and auto shut-off, just push the button and you will see the blue circular light illuminated, so know it will stay hot another two hours.

This particular unit is getting 5 Stars ( I would give it 10 Stars if possible:)  because of its longevity. This Cuisinart is used religiously, daily use and we love it for how well it withstands constant use. I have had mine over a year and it is still as good as day one. We love this coffee maker, taste of our brewed coffee so much, its time saving features, the ease in making coffee, and 12-cup capacity, and easy clean up, we actually pack it in its original box and we take it on our trips. Note we are not adverse to room service, in-suite dining charges, but prefer having coffee prepared the night before, on timer to wake up to and in busy, sprawling, behemoth Vegas, Los Angeles, Dallas, New York convention center hotels, you may have to wait, and wait for up to an hour when enormous compound hotels are sold out, with all guest demanding in suite dining morning coffee deliveries. Solution? Bring your Cuisinart Programmable Coffeemaker w Hot Water dispenser for hot chocolate, tea with you to your hotel suites. Why? You are on vacation and you do not want to wait for slow room service when you pay upwards of $20 for a 4-8 cup so-so taste, lukewarm carafe of their coffee.

LOVE it, will be buying another one of these if ours ever needs replaced but so far, so good. This thing has been schlepped to more hotels, in more states (@ 12 states and counting, just save your delivery box, packaging to protect it!) and has been our constant travel companion! lols

Enjoy! YOU will LOVE this unit.

Love. Love. Love!
My coffee is always ready to go! So fast brewing! I prepare at nught by grinding my coffee and putting it in the filter and draw my water and let the filler for water sit right to maker and in the morning when my eyes aren't fully open I just pour water in and 4 minutes later perfect hot coffe! Love the convenience! I also bought the reuseable filter so I could taste coffee and not the paper filter...I love the filter!
It takes no time at all for 2nd pot of hot water to heat up so I can brew the 2nd pot right away when needed! Meets all of my needs! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! As I like to brew a whole vs other makers only brew one cup at a time!!! Ooh! Can you smell my coffee brewing as I type this!!!!
