Product Description
Beverages taste better when brewed at the correct temperature. With the Zojirushi Micom 135-ounce water boiler, you can perfectly brew anything from green tea to French press coffee at the touch of a button Read More
I want to go through this thread and make fun of all the stupid people making stupid comments, but its Mother's Day and I can spend my energy elsewhere. This product is amazing, it can keep your water near boiling, or at perfect temps for different teas and fresh presses. It's also great for using bouillon. Screw these moron haters who can't think outside of their little world.
RayFYou really shouldn't drink water that's the same color as milk, even after boiling.
You can see the milk carton in background and the measuring cup in the foreground has a suspiciously milky white color to it.
I'd go there in a minute if the water chamber wasn't coated with some kind of grey, chemical-made(as is all non-stick) coating, and they state BPA-free but that's irrelevant. (Why? Because that's just one specific chemical which used to be commonly used in many non-stick consumer goods, now other things are used.) One of the smartest things the Instant-Pot people did when designing their homerun product was to choose a clean stainless steel vessel for cooking. It's why I got one. I'd get this if the circumstances were similar.
My last one equipped with manaul pumping lasted over 17 years (which was Japan made), if not more (I bought it when I was really young). My wife got rid of it couple of years ago (while I was working overseas), only because of she wanted a newer model. Nothing wrong with the old one, except the manual pump was a little bit less efficiency compared to when it was new. Our current one is a similar model (probably the same) and it has been sound since. The only complaint from my wife against the newer design was; since now it is equipped with electronic dispensary system, it means the pump won't work when you have a power-out (that make sense of course). Whereas, the old ones you can still manually pump the water out. Honestly, I take my hat off to this company and the brand is highly regarded in Japan.
(Edit)
Just double checked of mine, in fact it is the 3 liter model with all the same functions. One thing worth mentioning is, the cafè (slow flow) function is not really that useful in terms of coffee brewing. This is because there is very limited space below the outflow nozzle (eventhough the front panel is concave), which means there isn't much room to maneuver your brewing apparatus. On the other hand, with the size and weight of 4 liters capacity, it is not pracrical to lift and hold it above any coffee filter/funnel/jugs (to me, my 3 liter is already quite heavy when refill.)
Alpha279I bought 3 of this Zojirushi model about 7 years back. These things are great for kids in college dorms / apartments. Instant hot water for ramen / hot chocolate / coffee & tea.
And of course, us older folks appreciate hot water available instantly at the correct temperature for our high end coffee brewing needs. We don't have a ton of counter space, but this is one appliance that will always have a spot.
It's one of those weird things like a rice cooker. You don't have to have one, but once you've tried one, you can't imagine not having it.
I agree with @holygoat, if mine broke, I would immediately replace it.
braswes^^^This: instant hot water on demand at a reliable temperature. They’re pretty standard in a lot of Asian countries. Aside from tea, coffee, and instant ramen, they’re also really useful for preparing baby formula.
I have the big brother of this, the CV-DCC50 (169 oz/5 liter). I liked it so much, I gave them as Christmas presents to my parents, my brother, and my girlfriend. If you like tea or noodles or anything that takes hot water, this is an awesome product you never knew you needed.
