The Little Bread Maker That Could
5 Stars
The Little Bread Maker That Could
I purchased this little guy in 2008. I used it for a year or two and then stuffed it in the back of the cupboard. It worked great but there were a lot of good artisan bakery options nearby. Fast forward to 2020 and with the pandemic options were fewer. I dug it out and plugged it in hoping for the best but expecting something to be wrong. Nope. It still works like a champ! It has a tiny squeak (like a mouse) while kneading but to tell the truth I think it did that when new. It still runs strong and makes great bread. It is easy to use and a perfect size for a 1 or 2 person household. The included recipes will get you off to a good start but I also picked up a couple of books here on Amazon—just be sure that anything you buy has ingredients computed for the smaller 1# loaf size. The two I can recommend are: The Bread Machine Cookbook by Donna German, and, Bread Machine Magic. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy to experiment and still get good results. I’ve even successfully made blueberry jam with this thing. I don’t know what to say about the reviewers that have had issues… all I can say is that my experience has been a good one and I would highly recommend this unit, especially for smaller households. *******The following recipe I downsized to work in the smaller loaf pan of the “Baby Zo” and is what is pictured below. Even so, depending on how active your yeast is you may need to adjust it up or down a little. You can see my loaf rose a little bit too high into the lid and so the top middle part, although fully baked, didn’t brown all the way. This bread is rich, tastes delicious and the fragrance of the herbs wafting through the air adds to the delight. Perhaps it’s not strictly necessary but I sauté the onion until translucent before adding. Note: Dill seed is not the same thing as dill weed. Weed is the light, blow-away stuff that is commonly sprinkled on salmon. You want the seed which is heavier and more like caraway except rounder. It’s available at the supermarket. It works best if everything is allowed to come up to room temperature first but the timer function shouldn’t be used overnight because of the fresh dairy. Use the basic setting. Enjoy! DAK Dill & Onion Bread 3 Tablespoons of Water 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese 1/2 cup Sour Cream 1 small egg (or 1/2 large) 2 Tablespoons finely minced onion 1 Tablespoon butter cut into quarters 1 1/2 Tablespoons Sugar 1 Tablespoon Dill Seed 1 teaspoon Salt 2 cups Bread Flour 1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast

I need a maker with a small footprint due to space constraints. Initially, I purchased the Cuisinart compact model. Pros to that model is it can make a 1, 1.5 and 2 lb loaf while still a small footprint. Nice! It made decent bread. The price was much nicer. However, the dough cycle browned the dough. Given that was a mode I would frequently use instead of replacing that model, I selected the Zoji.

The footprint is similar on the Zojirushi, however, the Zoji is limited to only a 1 lb loaf. The size of the pan seems dinky. However, it is just for my husband and I so enough bread for 2 days and less being tossed due to staling. Since it is so small, even small missteps in measuring ingredients can impair the final result, so weigh those ingredients.

This unit has a handle so between it being light weight and the handle it is super easy to store in a cupboard and pull out when in use. Huge advantage. Recipe book has more than enough options to get your started and their website offers recipes optimized for the unit as well. The different modes are plentiful enough. I do wish it had an automatic option for adding in ingredients such as nuts or chips, but not a deal breaker. Good quality pan and housing. Super easy to clean. I suspect after a year or two of regular use the coating will wear off the pan, but that would be true with any model.

The price. UGH. I purchased this exact model for my sister 2-3 years ago for a gift. It was $100 or so on sale. Flash forward to this purchase and I paid $172 for a "nearly new" model. At the end of the day though, look at it like a math problem. 1 loaf of my husband's favorite bread (Daves) runs $7 or so, and we toss nearly a third regularly because he can't get through it fast enough. I can make the same amount for $2 and in 2 different loaves so there is no waste. I am estimating between my bread choice and his we will average $5 a week savings so in less than 10 months this device will pay for itself. If you are an artisan bread buyer you will save a lot that way too. If you need a special diet such as my sister (salt free), gluten free) then you will really use the heck out of the machine.

Overall, you can spend 5 minutes or less in the morning loading ingredients. Then you come home to fresh baked bread. If you end up not loving the vertical loaf shape it is easy enough to reshape and bake in the oven. It makes it super fast and easy to make bread, rolls, buns, pasta, cookie dough, etc. I have never made jam in the maker, but that is also an option. Happy with the purchase and hope to get years of use out of it.

My Zojirushi Mini (BB-HAC10) arrived a few days ago and I'm baking Loaf #4 as I write this. First, the delivery was prompt. I chose Amazon's free shipping but for some reason, it was sent overnight to me. That was a nice touch. This is my very first bread machine and I bought it because my husband and I (no kids) constantly have bread problems: the commercial loaves are too big for us and we end up throwing out 1/2 the loaf, OR we run out of bread mid-week when it is inconvenient to go to the store. Add to that our refusal to buy bread with preservatives and whatnot added to it. So it was inevitable that we'd buy a bread machine. Living in a condo with a small kitchen, this machine was an easy choice because of size (we hardly notice it on the counter now). The price was a bit of an issue but we justified that based on the superlative reviews this model has received. The first two loaves of bread I baked were truly delicious though a bit dense -- got the recipe off a website where the contributor owned an identical unit. But being new to bread-making, I didn't realize that there was a difference between "bread flour" and something called "whole wheat bread flour". I bought the latter... an absolutely delicious (and equally nutritious) version of regular whole wheat flour but of course requires more leavening than "bread flour". I had bought these ingredients ahead of time, having no clue what the Zo's own recipes contained, only knowing that most reviewers liked these recipes quite well. Loaf #3 was Zo's basic white bread and it turned out beautifully. In fact it rose so much that it was flat against the lid by the third rise. I had to open it and deflate it with a toothpick. Anyway, I'd like to save anyone who has ordered this Zo from the trouble of buying the wrong ingredients for the first few loaves you'd probably make if this is your first experience with a bread machine. Here's what you need for the regular cycle recipe for white bread from the Zo manual: water, bread flour, sugar, dry milk, salt, butter, active dry yeast (breadmaker yeast works too).
I also bought Beth Hensberger's "The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook" after using Amazon's search-inside feature and reading a bit of it. It's very comprehensive and very educational for beginners like myself (600+ pages for $14). Though most of her recipes are for 2-lb loaves, she says you can halve the quantities for 1-lb. Some people disagree. My Loaf #4 (raisin bread) is such a conversion and I'm hoping she's right! This Zo, by the way, is not made in Japan, but is made in China. The construction is of extremely high quality and certainly has that sort of "Hello Kitty" Japanese look to it. The bread pan is very thick and solid. It fits very easily into the slot in the machine and putting it in and taking it takes hardly any effort. I cannot believe just how easy the whole bread-making process is. I know that other reviewers have been saying that, but I couldn't imagine that bread-making could ever be called easy. But this machine really does make it easy. The hardest part, I would say, is making precise measurements and learning about some of the chemistry behind bread-making. I've also never, ever baked anything that required so little clean-up. The bread pan and mixing paddle barely look like they are used after each loaf is removed. Once, there was a bit hard dough stuck in the tiny space between the paddle and the rod that holds it, and I found that the quickest way to clean it was to soak the whole thing in water for 10 minutes. I'm hesitant to soak it in soapy water because I don't want anything eating into the non-stick coating. I've also been using the soft side of a sponge, not the scrubby side (even though the scrubby side is designed for non-stick coatings). The notch made in the bread by the paddle is quite insignificant. I've eaten airy breads with much larger holes in the slices before. The beeping sound after 30 minutes for adding extra ingredients and for completion of baking is soft and I've been using my microwave's loud timer alongside the Zo to make sure I don't miss it. The operation of the Zo is VERY quiet. My husband was in the kitchen cooking dinner while the bread was baking and I had to ask him to take a look and see if the machine was actually doing anything. (It was. It was kneading). Sometimes you can hear the whirr of the paddle in another room if there isn't any other ambient noise. The unit came with a plastic measuring cup (1-cup size) and a plastic tablespoon/teaspoon measure. It also came with a VHS tape which was useless for me. A DVD would have been so much better, or even an online demo on [...]. The buttons on the Zo itself are simple and self-explanatory. For example, I realized after putting in the ingredients of my last loaf that I'd have to use a new cycle and I was able to figure out in a matter of seconds which buttons to press. The Zo has a cake-making and jam-making feature and those will be my next ventures. The size of the 1-lb loaf, by the way, is substantial for two people - enough for two meals for two people.
Lastly, I did feel compelled to buy an additional 2-year warranty after reading some of the reviewers talk about units that conked out. (I bought it via Amazon from Square Trade for $22). I will follow up on this review in a few months.

10/13/2010 - Now that I've had this breadmaker for a few months, I have to say that I really love it. I use it 3-4 times a week. The process couldn't be simpler. The breads come out perfectly every time. When we have company I bake two loaves using the quick cycle. The cake function is great though the loaves are small. They're perfect for 2-3 people but not if you have company. Last week I used a 2-lb recipe for banana bread and had the Zojirushi mix it up but then I took it out and baked it in a regular size loaf pan in the oven. Turned out perfect. I've made jam twice. Both times the results were way too liquidy and uncooked and I had to transfer it to a saucepan to cook for an additional 20 mins on the stovetop. Still it saves you about an hour of stirring.

09/02/2011 - More than a year later, it's still going strong. There are two small worn out patches inside the pan that make taking the bread out slightly harder but I suppose that's to be expected when you bake 3-4 times a week.

I really like this bread machine but I suggest that you read the booklets that came with it. There is a ton on information there. So far, the recipes have been great. I have only make bread from Wheat Berries and all of them taste great. I also found out, by accident, the the bread is even better when is it toasted to a dark brown; very crunchy and chewable.
I would buy again.
FYI: I will never use store bought flour again; I grind my own wheat berries.

I am on the fence with this bread maker. I love the design...its VERY compact and great for small countertops. Love the carrying handle and the fact that you can wind up the cord. What I don't like is the fact that I have tried 3 different cinnamon raisin bread recipes...2 from the Zojirushi manual and one from and Bread Machine cookbook and it comes out burned every single time! So I can't just set it and forget it....I have to wait and turn the machine off about 10 minutes early so its not burned. Made 4 loaves of cinnamon raisin bread before I finally came to the conclusion that it was just too high of a temperature with the raisins. Also the loaves have been inconsistent. Sometimes the raisins are distributed all throughout the loaf and sometimes they are mostly on the outside and charred. This machine is expensive and it makes 1 lb....I expect perfection. For this I can just make the bread in my stand mixer and bake in the oven. Haven't decided whether I am keeping this or not. Just not feeling the results I'm getting justify the price tag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out of 3 I Have Owned, Best So Far
Reviewed in Canada on August 28, 2023
I like the simplicity of this. I've owned a few appliances by this manufacturer. Several have lost the clock function as the battery is not replaceable, but this model does not have a clock, just a timer. So that's good. Its simplicity is what sold me as many have way too many functions. I love that the bread loaf size is small (you may be shocked at how small). But bread w/o preservatives does go stale faster, so the small size is perfect for my wife and me. We originally got it because she can't eat soy or flax, which is in most multigrain commercial breads. We get probably 10 slices/loaf which is great as it just starts to go stale at the last piece.

So easy to clean...it's almost effortless. Some experimenting is required to get the results you want. We tried regular flour, 100% whole wheat, 50/50 whole wheat, "Best for Bread" Flour, and Cinnamon Raisin bread. Wow. Best for Bread flour on "Soft" setting was a home run, but after a few tries the Cinnamon Raisin is the winner. The recipes included are just guidelines; we got best results for Cinnamon Raisin by eventually ignoring the recipe included and just using the white bread recipe with Best for Bread Flour, doubling the cinnamon to 2 teaspoons, doubling the raisons to 1/2 cup, and ignoring the instructions to add raisins when the machine beeps. Just add all the ingredients at the beginning, otherwise the raisins just attached to the outside of the loaf.

The technology is obviously better than decades ago when all the loaves were hard if I recall. These are very nice and soft. My calculations in Canada show the cost/loaf is 66 cents vs. about $4 for store-bought bread, based on a 5Kg bag of flour (cost would be even less if I bought a larger bag).

Great product. Will try gluten free and multigrain next. Don't be put off by the small loaf size. It is so easy to use you'll just make more as needed and it will never go stale.

Highly recommended.

El producto es de buena calidad, muy fácil de usar. El pan es pequeño pero más que suficiente para dos o tres personas. Llegó en buenas condiciones y días antes de lo esperado.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the extra bread
Reviewed in Canada on February 15, 2011
Our latest in a long line of bread machines was on its last legs (Cuisinart CBK-200); its first legs were none too steady. We had put up with its quirks for 3 years and it was still making nice loaves, but it needed a couple of cookbooks jammed beside the pan or it would shake itself off the counter. Poor mechanical engineering; not great quality build. Previously we had owned 3 different brands, all under $100. All crapped out in various ways.
So, I was looking at this Zoji and its bigger sibling thinking maybe I'd get more if I paid more. I figured that lately, with the kids gone, the bigger loaves tend to get stale before we consume them, so why not save on counter space and purchase price.

Pros:
- It is evident immediately that there is quality in the build and I've yet to find a flaw in its engineering.
- It has clean lines and takes up so little room that I consider that a bonus I can work into the price.
- The pan, which in all other machines we've owned has been a weak point, is super solid. Cast.
- Easy operation. Like all breadmachines, it's easy to load and clean.
- Quiet. Very quiet operation. Though they can't be disabled, the beeps are not overbearing. I haven't tried the timed cycle but can only barely hear in our nearby bedrooms.

Cons:
- Can't see any yet

Like to see:
- The Cuisinart had an alert at the end of the last beat-down so you could remove the beater, if desired.

Conclusion:
Unless you are a family of heavy bread eaters, I can't see a reason for anything larger than this high quality, space-saving machine. Put it on the night shift for fresh bread in the morning then load it again if you like. It only takes a few minutes and the product is exceptionally tasty. At an on-sale price of under $150, this will pay itself of in less than three months at the rate we bake. I expect this thing to last years. If it doesn't you will read about it here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Homemade made easy
Reviewed in Canada on December 16, 2023
Once you go homemade, you can never go back. I spoiled myself with bread I made using a stand mixer. I wasn't even doing a good job with it, the dough had the density of a brick, and the "bread pan" I was using was more of a desert loaf pan, and the slices were comically small. But yet, the bread was wonderfully moist, and the crust (the grossest part of store-bought bread) was flaky and delicious. I got store-bought bread again out of laziness, and even when it was still 2 weeks away from expiry, it tasted stale and rotten by comparison (despite being made with far more oil and preservatives). I wanted to keep making bread with the stand mixer, but it was just too many steps to make it a habit.

This thing makes homemade bread easy enough and well enough that I cannot see myself buying store-bread ever again. The crust is the one thing that was disappointing at first, if you just set it on the default "normal" cycle, it turns out thick and tough, and is an absolute battle to chew. On my second go setting the crust to "light", it turned out much better (what they call "light" I'd call normal, it's still dark and crispy). The problem with the one-pan design is that you can't line the baking pan with butter the way you can when you mix dough in a different bowl. You can baste it with butter after it's cooked, but I think that's not the same.

Still, that's a small price to pay for a process that is very little work (just measuring in a handful of ingredients, then set and forget), produces consistently beautiful results, and is basically no clean up work. The only things to clean are the pan and the paddle, which are non-stick coated. The pan wipes clean almost instantly. The paddle has a hole through it that can get encrusted with cooked bread and be a bit trickier to clean, but I got a straw/pipe cleaner that makes quick work of it.

The "one pound" size is perfect for me, bread goes bad within a few days anyways, and how much can I really eat in that span of time. You might think "why not have a bigger bread-maker for the same price and just make a smaller loaf", and that would give away that you have far more storage space for kitchen appliances than I do. Small is a feature not a bug, as far as I'm concerned.
