Title: Problems, problems
Review: The Zojirushi (fun to say) worked well but had continuing problems. First the heating element went out at about ten months. The warranty covered it but it is a two hour drive for me to the authorized repair shop and I was without a coffee maker for three weeks while they got a new element. Then the carafe top split into two pieces. I am very good with adhesives but four tries with different adhesives failed to keep it glued. Between the heat and the torque to open and close it, it wouldn't stay glued. Then the heating element went out again. This was after the warranty, but the repair shop went to bat for me and Zojirushi repaired it for free. I was just ready to try again gluing the top when the distinct smell of melting plastic filled my kitchen. The unit won't hold water and hence is useless. Less than two years is an unacceptable life span for any appliance.
