ZWILLING Enfinigy Drip Coffee Maker with Thermo Carafe 10 Cup, Awarded the SCA Golden Cup Standard, Black

Technically, the coffee maker has mature features without being over-engineered. The drip system into the thermos is quite good; the prebrew saturation works quite nicely; keeping the coffee warm post brewing is a nice method without overdoing it. It's easy to keep clean, takes up less space than I thought it would, and, if it's important to the user, it looks quite good and timeless in design. The digital control is easy, but does take a little learning initially. My drinking habits in the morning are that 8 cups of coffee are made at 6 am and drink on that until late morning. First cup is around 175º F and by 9 am it is still above 150º F or more. In fact it stays hot for at least 2 hours, I would say, then begins to cool somewhat. I usually microwave it by cup as I need to and don't find the taste degraded at all. Cleanup is easy. I used to habitually make K-cups or perhaps French press in the evening but the Zwilling is so quickly cleaned, I'll make a fresh pot of coffee in the evening. I can't say I have any complaints about it. The only thing that comes to mind is, when cleaning and lifting the drip mechanism, water remaining in the dripper runs down into where the filter basket would be and goes onto the thermos stand. A little messy.
