Zojirushi Micom Water Boiler and Warmer CD WCC30, 3.0l, 101 Oz (Silver) | Four heat settings, Quick Temp mode, actual temperature display, timer

As a daily green tea and matcha drinker, this type of 'hot pot' is invaluable to me. Always ready to dispense water at the perfect temperature. I couldn't live without one, and the Zojirushi line of boilers is among the best of them. Made in Japan, and very high quality. The interior is coated, but I've been told the coating is non-transferring, and won't leach chemicals into the water. The dispenser is a one-touch electronic pump, not the "manually pumped" type. Super easy and convenient. I strongly recommend buying a box of their cleaning tablets along with it. If you have hard water, you're going to need them. I'm on well water, which is pretty mineral-rich, so I clean my hot pots about once a month. I use mine multiple times a day, and it's on during all my waking hours. It only uses about 40W when sustaining hot water, so very economical. It has a nice shutoff timer, so you can have it turn off while you sleep and be back on and fully heated when you wake up. I think this brand offers the best quality and value for the price. The last one I owned lasted for well over a decade before the internals finally gave out. I used it many times daily before it finally needed replacing. Highly recommended!

I was stationed in England and Korea where I liked drinking hot tea. Ive had one of these for over 15 years. Not only is it great for tea but he instant hot water is awesome for cooking as well. Dry soups, ramen, mashed potatoes, even filling a pan for making mac and cheese is faster bcause it instantly starts boiling! We live in an all solar home so we watch our watts. This kettle is efficient, holds a gallon of water and as long as you use Reverse Osmosis water cleaning is a breeze. If not every six months soak in vinegar and rinse. The kettle looks nice and not too bulky. We put it on a sliding coaster so we can pull it forward if needed and the cord is plenty long for that. All in all I can't see us without one now. Great price and great quality.

I have loved everything I've bought from Zojirushi. They make quality products, especially their water boilers/warmers and their rice cookers. Our first one lasted about 10 years with very heavy use. We've had our second for about 5 years. When I got a job that required me to live apart from my wife for a time, one of the first things we bought for my apartment in the other city was another Zojirushi water boiler. It is not as convenient as having a more expensive water boiler/cooler that connects to your plumbing, but in our kitchen that wasn't practical and would be a lot more expensive and in my apartment away from home, it isn't an option. This fits nicely and looks nice on a countertop without taking a lot of room. It would also be perfect for an office. I usually use it to make tea and pour-over coffee. Because I usually just use an aeropress to make coffee (and my wife prefers instant coffee for convenient--I love her but she's not perfect), I don't have a separate coffee make on the counter. It holds 3 liters, so depending how many people are using it to make tea/coffee and how much they drink, I find that we have to add water about every two days. By myself in my apartment, and in the office full time during the day, I have to refill it about once a week, sometimes twice. Cleaning is easy. You can buy zojirushi cleaning packs, but they are just citric acid power. You can buy it cheaper in bulk. I usually just get the zojirushi cleaning backs though for convenient. You pour in the powder, water, and push the cleaning button. How often you do this depends on how hard your water is.

Great for group settings or for single heavy hot water drinkers like me. I fell in love with large Zojirushi hot water thermoses when I worked in an office in Japan—imagine having piping hot water ready to make tea with, all day long! I hesitated to splurge on a Zojirushi back in the US, because traditional electric kettles are so cheap and ubiquitous. But after several highly-rated electric kettles broke in some way or another within a few months of being used multiple times a day (I like tea and even prefer to drink plain piping hot water over cold), I decided to go for the Zojirushi during a sale event. It was well worth the splurge! On work nights, I can set the time delay function to have the water hot and ready at the perfect temperature for my morning tea when I wake up, with enough water left over to fill both my and my partner’s work thermoses as well. On the weekend, I can leave the keep-warm function on to instantly warm up or brew a new cup of tea throughout the day—with its 3 liter capacity, I rarely need to refill the device or reboil from scratch. The temperature settings may feel limited but are all you need for most varieties of tea or coffee. The wide opening makes for easy filling, emptying, and cleaning, and was also the perfect size for scooping out water with a hishaku for an informal tea ceremony experience. I highly recommend using the suggested cleaning tablets, as mineral scale will gradually build up over use, and the tablets (combined with the device’s self-cleaning function) work really well at eliminating this natural buildup and keeping the device in prime working order. The one thing I think Americans might need to get used to is the need to unplug it to turn it off (and to prevent it from boiling dry when low), but in this case that means easily detaching a magnetic safety plug rather than unplugging it from the wall outlet itself, so there’s little effort needed and minimal, if any, wear and tear to the device or your wall outlet. 6 months into repeated daily use and no issues yet—if this goes on for another year, I will end up saving since I don’t have to keep replacing worn-out kettles!

4 YEAR UPDATE - STILL WORKING LIKE NEW! Amazon discontinued the vacuum insulated Panasonic water boiler so this was the choice after a power surge burnt out my Panasonic. I still hate the extra pump safety button requirement for my retirement home where no kids are allowed but the quick boil feature will save power and steam and I needed the 10 hour timer option. The obnoxious little tune it plays when done after the power goes out can be turned off so just a beep is heard but you have to silence the tune each time you have removed power. I added extra insulation around it and I keep a kitchen towel over the top to reduce wasted heat entering the room. I expect the liner to not rust and make scale easy to flake off on its own. For 5 stars they will have to use more insulation and give a way to over ride that stupid safety button before pumping. EDIT - TEN MONTHS LATER - Still good, no rust. Lots of older reviews here from a time before they upgraded their materials. I just let the scale build up until it gets thick and flakes off. It has no flavor and is not worth the time to clean as long as you keep the pump screen cleared. I never fill mine more than half way, enough for my needs. It is placed where the spout is over the sink for washing dishes. YOU CAN HEAT CANNED FOODS TO FULLY READY TO EAT if you gently lower the can into the chamber with label removed. I heat my morning sausage gravy can in it at the moment I have finished making coffee and lower the temp to 160 for the rest of the day. That literally uses no power at all and prevents the heat from entering the room as it cools from 210 to 160 by heating the can. Very efficient and eliminates need for a hot water heater in the home except for bathing.

This water boiler has been really useful at home. My mom drinks hot tea all the time, so this makes it much more convenient for her instead of waiting for water to boil every time. The size is perfect and it keeps hot water ready all day, which saves a lot of time. The different temperature settings are nice and the build quality feels very solid. It heats up fast and stays warm without needing to reboil. A bit pricey but definitely worth it if you use hot water a lot.

Don’t wait and buy this! We purchased 1 of these 10 years ago. At the time I thought would we use it…. But 10 years of constant use (even moved it into our RV) our first one started making a sound. So we purchased a second one. Just as good and so convenient!

Electric kettle For coffee every morn. Does not pour smoothly. ~a haiku It removes the dependency on the action of boiling water as a requirement for hot beveraging. That high cost of action is negated by the instant access to water at post boiling temperature on demand. When removing this obstacle, there is a higher tendency to readily take full advantage of hot beverage enjoyment. AS A daily coffee drinker I WANT to have hot water at the ready SO THAT I can quickly and easily create coffee as needed. So things to consider... 1 - You really do want to use clean, either purified or preferably distilled water. Otherwise you'll end up with gross residue inside the boiler. 2 - It sings to you. I'm okay with this since my microwave, rice cooker, washer, and dryer already do. 3 - It can be adjusted to be tea hot or coffee hot, but those are often not the same. So it unfortunately requires you to be intentional. I'm a regular coffee drinker more than a regular tea drinker. I have it on coffee hot (208 degs F). When I want tea, I pour it into a separate pourer to rest before I pour to steep the tea. 4 - It is very easy to use, especially if you use clean water as in #1 above. Little to no maintenance required. 5 - It can speed up cooking when you need to boil water to prep, its already mostly there. 6 - Cup noodles whenever you want it. Does not work for lasagna. 7 - I did not haiku above because the product is Japanese, I haiku'd because I felt like haiku'ing.

Tuve mi primera durante 13 años acabo de comprar otra, la primera sirve pero ya no se ve muy bien

Looks solid, and works pretty good

This comes with an EU plug so it's not suitable for UK sockets, annoying because it's sold on the UK Amazon site. Don't even try to use a travel adapter for kitchen appliances, it's not the correct voltage and you'll probably blow a fuse or risk a fire hazard. The actual product is probably fine, Zojirushi is a highly reputable brand and I've used their water boilers in the past and loved them.

Ótima, eu já tinha de 2,2 L

I’ve been using the Zojirushi CD-WCC40 for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed. The energy efficiency is noticeable — it keeps water at temperature without running up your electricity bill the way older boilers tend to. For a household that goes through a lot of hot water for tea, coffee, and cooking, that matters. The size is just right. It doesn’t dominate counter space but holds enough that I’m not constantly refilling it. Build quality feels solid and the controls are intuitive — took no time at all to figure out. Shipping was fast and the unit arrived well-packaged with no damage. Was up and running the same day it arrived. If you’re on the fence about investing in a quality water boiler, this one earns it. Zojirushi’s reputation is well-deserved and the CD-WCC40 lives up to it.
