Zojirushi EC-YTC100XB Black
Score: 86/100
OXO Brew 9 Cup Coffee Maker
Score: 85/100Rankings
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 OXO Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker offers SCA-certified precision, programmable scheduling, and a large 2-9 cup capacity, delivering consistent, hot coffee. Its sizable footprint and inability to brew a single cup limit suitability for very small spaces or solo drinkers. Best for coffee enthusiasts or small offices that need flexibility and high-quality drip coffee.
