 Follow-up to my 2009 review Jerdon21B brewer August 25, 2010
S. Oliveira (South Florida)
This follow-up review is in response to several reviewers' complaints and low ratings.
1. Use an 8-cup paper filter and appx. 3 Tbs. of ground coffee for each full 24 oz. of FILTERED water.
2. Descale the brewer every 2-3 weeks for optimal performance. Wipe off the sprayer to prevent clogging.
3. Room temp water will heat faster than cold. Fill the brewer up to 1/4" of the top which will produce appx 22 oz. of coffee. Refrigerated filtered water can be heated in the brewer for several minutes by leaving the cover up. Do NOT allow water to overheat. Tap the brew basket to evenly distribute coffee grounds.
4. When brewing is finished, wait several minutes for all the coffee to drip into the carafe, OR open brewer cover, fold down the paper filter over coffee grounds and press down with a spoon to extract all the liquid. Some liquid will remain in the carafe cover which should be rinsed with fresh water, tapped and allowed to drain. This brewer is designed to completely contain hot liquid and prevent exposure to cool air. The carafe and cover EXPAND when hot which is why it is somewhat difficult to remove the cover. Allow to cool down before removal.
5. The brewed coffee has been tested for freshness and quality after 24 hours. It tastes no different from the moment it was made because there is no burner/warmer to cook the coffee. However, to be on the safe side, refrigerate left over coffee and reheat in the microwave oven, or prepare iced coffee. Always check the carafe before brewing a fresh pot to make sure there is no left over beverage, because you cannot SEE the contents.
All in all I am very satisfied with this brewer even though it took a bit of time getting used to it. Incidentally, a standard coffee or tea cup measurement is 5-6 oz., while a mug can measure up to 12 oz. and thermos bottles even more. As stated above, this brewer will produce appx. 22 oz. of beverage using appx. 3 Tbs. of drip (medium fine) grind coffee.
 Poor design... not a 'thermal carafe' as advertised March 9, 2010

I purchased this coffee maker to replace an older (14+ years!) Braun model which was getting noticeably slower despite repeated cleanings.
All I wanted was a no frills, four cup, coffee maker. The 'thermal carafe' was a bonus.
What I received was a unit, without instructions for use, which has a cheap plastic, double-walled carafe posing as 'thermal'. There were no starter filters included and those needed remain a mystery. I suspect that, being the type of appliance found in motel rooms, coffee pods are required.
I tried three pots of coffee with mixed results. None were drinkable...
I returned the coffee maker and purchased a model at WalMart. I ignore its digital timer and life is good!

Delivered right on time. Works very weel and keeps coffee hot without changing the flavor. We are happy with this purchase. Will keep buying Jerdon products.
Big Mistake December 5, 2009

I made a big mistake with this purchase. Made of cheap plastic with a thermal carafe that holds no heat at all. After 2 tries I gave up, boxed it up, and gave it to Goodwill. I gave it one star because it did at least make coffee.

Have used this pot for several months. It makes coffee very quickly, keeps the coffee hot for an hour or more and is easy to cleanup after use. I would highly recommend it.
