I have used a Zojirushi air pot for years and couldn't live without it. I
grind the beans in the morning, make my day's coffee, and immediately it
goes into the Zojirushi. The coffee stays hot, and most importantly, stays
fresh tasting through the late evening. Now and then I take a swig of
yesterday's coffee while waiting for today's brew to finish. I wouldn't have
any other brand. I"ve had mine for at least ten years and it still works as
ever. It is a bit more expense than competing air pots, but I think well
worth it
