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

The box and advertising says the part that the water comes out of is stainless steel. Does not seems like stainless steel - seems like shiny plastic - that has to be cleaned after every use because coffee splashes up onto the part. Having stainless steel part to dispense water was a huge selling point for me, so this was disappointing. Also, I honestly thought it came with a Stainless basket for the coffee as well, because the photos show it. Water cavity markings are FAINT and very hard to read. Have to run hot water into the carafe before use so the coffee stays hot for a few hours. CANNOT use carafe for water into the maker because the water cools the inside of the carafe and makes the resulting coffee not as hot. Carafe hard to clean. Top hard to clean - I have the silver machine with white trim. The white trim - especially on the the top of the carafe - is hard to clean. Stains after each use. Can see stains inside top - but can’t get in there to clean properly. EVERY time you remove the top filter portion of the coffee maker, water drips down onto the tray. You have to slam it down 3 times to get the residual water to spill down - after every use. There are pools of water at the tops/hinge of the machine. It’s super annoying to have to clean it up after every use. The carafe seems to be aluminum inside - not sure really - but it is stained and has been since first week of use. Soap and water have to impact on stains, and I am not going to do harsh cleaners in the carafe. No matter the angle of the pour, the speed of the pour or any other trick you try, you cannot pour coffee without drips. The top lip of the carafe has an edge that has to be scrubbed after each use to get coffee stain off of the plastic. You will miss the smell of coffee brewing in the morning. Because the coffee drips into a sealed lidded carafe - you cannot smell the brew, and you will miss that. And, frankly and most important - the coffee is not any better than other machines. I kept my old machine in storage, and today after trying this machine for 3 full months; I am trashing this zwilling and going back to my cuisinart. This was a huge disappointment.

Makes great hot coffee that stays warm in the carafe.

Works very well and the coffee tastes great! Would have loved it if the thermos would be heated too while the machine is on.

A month later I'm very happy with this coffee maker, I feel the difference in coffee taste compared to my previous machine (also with thermal carafe, but different brand and older). The taste is richer and more balanced. I like that the carafe has a wide opening, it's easy to wash. It also holds temperature really well, doesn't take a ton of space and matte black color looks great. So far I have no complaints and highly recommend this.

Makes flavorful coffee, quickly. Able to see the waterfall line easily, and looks beautiful on the countertop.

Pretty nice coffee maker. The bloom function is very effective and the thermos keeps the coffee hot up to three hours.

Coffee taste great, brews quick. would give 4 stars but the thermal carafe could have been made better as it constantly makes a clicking noise as you brew, it does not keep the 10 cups(really 8) hot for more than a few hours and no idea how to pour out the coffee when the carafe is low. Also, the cup selection(really pre-infusion) is confusing as for some, as the machine brews all the water you put in.

Very simple and effective to use. Doesn’t take up a lot of space and easy to clean

Replaced the glass carafe with the thermal carafe - love it. The carafe design works way better and keeps the coffee hot a lot longer.

Bought this. Love the small footprint. It slides up against the back of the counter nicely. Easy to use after and initial review the instructions. Easy to clean. The steel carafe pours well and keeps coffee fresh and hot. Makes a nice cup of coffee.

Makes a great pot of coffee. Stays warm for a long time and takes up less space on the counter than a traditional machine. It looks very sleek.

Excellent coffee maker however the plastic spout that goes almost to the bottom of the carafe is a pain. In order to wash it and the lid it must be unfastened and it just doesn't seem to do anything?????

I tried my friend's Zwilling coffee maker before I purchased one for myself. I like the design - not your average coffee maker. It is easy to measure the water and I can use my permanent coffee filter. Best of all, it makes great coffee.

The 30 minute shutoff should be adjustable, as is the case with most other high-end coffee makers. 30 minutes is too short for a full pot of coffee without the possibility of extending the warming time. Ruins an otherwise fine machine.

I haven’t had this coffee maker for a year and the carafe has already broken. The worst part is you can’t buy a replacement!! So if yours breaks you need to just buy a whole new coffee maker. Absolutely not ideal.

I have had this coffee maker for 2 months now. The 10 cup carafe is actually plenty of coffee and the machine itself is easy to clean. Coffee tastes great!

Every time you remove the top filter portion of the coffee maker, water drips down onto the tray. There is also pools of water at the tops/hinge of the machine. It’s super annoying to have to clean it up after every use. Terrible design.

Beware - The carafe's plastic handle breaks easily and you cannot get replacement parts from Zwilling. Google "zwilling carafe" to see the high amount of people trying to find a reolacemet carafe because Zwilling does not offer replacements.

This coffee maker is fabulous. As a result of how the coffee is brewed, you get a smooth cup of coffee with none of the bitterness you get from a cheap coffee maker. Pricey, yes but worth every penny and if you usually buy take out coffee, this may get you bringing it from home and quite frankly I like this coffee better than at coffee shops. We got the thermos carafe which I highly recommend. It keeps the coffee hot for hours without becoming stale and still tastes fresh.
