Zojirushi Coffee Machines
The Japanese maker of rice cookers — and beloved coffee brewers.
Zojirushi is a Japanese brand most famous for its rice cookers and thermos bottles, but baristas and tasters know it for a different reason: a tiny five-cup drip machine that punches far above its weight in extraction quality.
Their coffee philosophy is restraint — insulated carafes, patient brew cycles and a deliberate rejection of scorching hot plates in favor of taste-first engineering.
