At last, a man who brews coffee properly. Kudos, Jon.

Hi,
Boil what kind of water? I use multi-stage filtered/RO with UV light
water. Drink only a cup un the morning. Rest of all day I drink all kind
of tea.

hey, that's a good tip. just checked their web site, sure enough they
sell replacement parts. Already have a couple of their other kitchen
things - I'm sure that at least the rice cooker is from them - as the
girlie's mom is Japanese, and they sell a lot of Japanese cooking type
stuff. Don't recall a problem with anything, and she's had at least the
rice cooker since college, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, that's one nice think about Zojirushi, they're pretty good about
spare parts, even small parts. I've got a bread maker, hot water boiler,
and coffee maker from them. I'll likely replace the old rice cooker with
a Zojirushi as well.

I seem to recall a review about that coffee maker that mentioned that it
was one of the few where the hot water going up through a hose that
passed through the water reservoir did not cool it so much to affect
brewing. Still, I often flip the hot water spout back over the reservoir
for a couple of minutes to recirculate the water to warm it up so the
coffee is hotter.
