Great little machine
A wonderful little coffee maker when you just want a couple of mugs to get you through the morning. It’s simple to use and makes a tasty pot of coffee. The instructions are in Japanese but it a simple machine and, if you’ve made drip coffee before, you don’t really need them.

Makes great coffee
Love this little machine, the water area is nice and wide for pouring water into and itâs clear plastic so you can see the water and it make great tasting coffee. And Itâs 1/10 V. Makes one big 18 oz mug coffee or 2 small 9 Oz cups. Love their big coffee 10 cup maker too !!! Very easy to clean

Pretty, but a pain to use
I quit using it about a month after buying. It worked OK & coffee was pretty good, but was pain in the rear to use. Makes only a small amount also, but I did know this when I bought it..It’s in storage now & may use again if the one I have now goes bad.

Love, love
Love, love, love this coffee maker! It’s compact and takes up little room on my counter. And it’s small enough that I can take it with my when I travel out of state for extended periods on my contracting job. The instructions were in Japanese, but I didn’t need them. It’s so easy to figure out and use. I wanted this brand because I have the Zojirushi rice cooker, so I know from experience that their products are excellent quality.

It comes out OK but I still would have liked to have some instructions in English
No English instructions. How difficult is it to use a coffee maker? There are Japanese symbols on the outside for different water levels. I recently read about a Japanese method of brewing iced coffee over ice. I have tried this by putting ice in the carafe and brewing. It comes out OK but I still would have liked to have some instructions in English. The water starts on the coffee immediately. At first I thought it is not hot enough to extract the most out of the coffee, I use Gevalia and want to get the most from the brew. What I have been doing is to start and let some water get on the grounds and then turn it off for a little to let the coffee “bloom”, then turn it back on to finish the cycle. It is easy to use and easy to clean. And it makes coffee really fast.

A must for coffee aficionados!
I am a coffee aficionado and did serious research when it was time to replace my 12 yr old coffee maker. The great reviews held up to the promise. I received it about 3 weeks ahead of the approximate date. It was well packaged. This makes a delicious cup of hot or iced coffee. No plastic smell. Perfect temperature. The design makes for perfect drip placement over coffee. The instructions are in Japanese there are English instructions on their website. Well worth the money. It comes with a double sided soup and two filters. I did not have to fold the filters I bought as described in other amazon reviews.

What I like is the coffee grounds are in the removeable part …
no, the instructions are not in English…it’s a coffeemaker. What I like is the coffee grounds are in the removeable part of the mechanism, so it is easy to clean and no where for coffee goo to get stuck. The pot is sort of thin glass and probably a nightmare to replace if broken, but looks cool and works perfect.

I remind you itâs quite small. Get a bigger version if you needs more dose of caffeine. The colour is kinda deep brown which I didnât mind but my wife did.
Not sure why Amazon is offering this coffee maker when it is for 100V. Also not very handy as top of kettle do not hold, is falling and pouring the coffee from kettle is not easy. Not very happy with this product . I like the size but that’s it. Planning to return.
No complaints here, quality coffee maker, comes with a carbon water filter.Easy to use, instructions were in Japanese, but weren’t necessaryTakes up little counter space.Makes coffee quickly, without the burnt taste.
