hi guys this is Brian Bennett for CNET appliances and we are taking an up-close look at the zojirushi fresh brew plus thermal carafe coffeemaker for one hundred and ninety dollars this coffee machine certainly is on the expensive side but it does have a few pluses that definitely our selling points first off you notice that it has a very big water tank right here what I like about it is that it is removable so you can just pull the whole thing up take it off you know hold it underneath your kitchen sink and your tap and just fill it up right there or you could just set it on your kitchen countertop and fill it by a pitcher and take it put it back into the machine no fuss no muss it's pretty easy to do the other really cool thing is that it has a large thermal carafe this carafe actually will keep its coffee hot for well over half a day I'm talking about 13 or more hours at a hundred and fifty degrees which is a pretty piping hot cup of coffee zojirushi definitely makes some big claims about this coffee machine it's part of its gourmet line of cooking products and they also say that it reaches the ideal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit which enables a very flavorful brew a very nice and rich cup of coffee the only problem is it takes a very long time to actually brew which means that the coffee is over extracted and a little bitter for my taste and that's something you definitely don't want in a coffee machine that cost this much those O's Arushi fresh brew is definitely a decent coffee machine I just wish it wasn't as expensive if I could have gotten this thing for $70 that would maybe convince me to make the purchase but at $190 it's just extremely expensive you can buy something from Bonavita such as the VV 1900 TS that essentially bruised extremely delicious coffee for the same price that's something I would suggest you do it ultimately is just more enjoyable to use for more check out my review of this coffee machine as well as other coffee makers at cnet.com I'm Brian Bennett for CNET appliances
