Breville Grind Control
Score: 85/100
Zojirushi EC-YTC100XB Black
Score: 86/100Rankings
Zojirushi's EC-YTC100XB provides precise 200 °F brewing, pre-infusion, and a thermal carafe that keeps coffee hot for hours, plus an iced-coffee mode. Its reliance on paper filters and fixed 10-cup size may not suit everyone. Perfect for enthusiasts who prioritize temperature control and thermal retention.
The Breville BDC650BSS Grind Control combines a high-quality burr grinder with a 12-cup drip system, delivering fresh-ground coffee and a thermal carafe for lasting heat. Trade-offs include a bulky, non-removable water reservoir and the absence of a warming plate. It suits coffee enthusiasts who prioritize fresh grinding and customizable brewing over countertop space constraints.

Professional reviewers praise the Breville BDC650BSS for its high-quality stainless steel burr grinder, six grind settings, and steep-and-release technology that together deliver consistent, flavorful coffee. The LCD interface, programmable auto-start, and solid build are highlighted as strong points, while the lack of adjustable brew temperature, presence of plastic housing components, and missing certifications are noted as drawbacks.
Everyday users love the fresh-ground coffee taste, the ease of customizing strength and volume, and the thermal carafe that keeps coffee hot without a warming plate. Common complaints focus on the machine's large size, noisy grinder that can clog with oily beans, and the non-removable water reservoir that makes cleaning cumbersome.
