I have another black and decker 5 cup coffeemaker and it is much sturdier, made of better plastic, and the main thing is that the holes that drip water into the coffee grounds on this one only drip into the very center of the grounds, whereas the other one I have drips over the whole basket of grounds.

Dont get me wrong it does look like a cheap plastic piece of crap when you get it

You will find out how much bad plastic taste it has.

Tried another two pots of usually wonderful Brazilian coffee (Jacques Vabre Notes de Bahia) and my not so fussy coffee drinking darling could still taste the plastic

the machine is cheap plastic.

Also, the water container is shaped slightly different and the coffee compartment is pure plastic and apparently not the same size

Terrible plastic or chlorine taste and smell.

Works fine but makes coffee have a terrible chemical/plastic taste.

The unit seems to be made of a flimsier plastic than other coffee pots, but I believe that is why the price is so low.

Although it works fine for the price, it has an awful plastic smell that carries over to the brewed coffee making it taste terrible

Made of cheap plastic😫 Too expensive‼️Would NOT buy again‼️

Makes very little noise, no excessive steam, no annoying beep when it's done brewing, no drips, no horrible plastic smell

At first I was hesitant because it seemed to made out of cheap plastic, but after having a cup, one of my better investments

If you are indifferent as to your coffee...and, just want it 'quick & dirty'

Also easy to clean as it doesn't have a lot of electronic part.

Zojirushi is about 4 years old and still working as if new.

My coffee maker stayed on for 5 hrs and scared the c...p out of me as I came back to my house
