Zojirushi CDLCC30WG Panorama Window Micom Electric Dispensing Pot with easy-touch electric dispensing system.
Amazon.com Review
A handy workhorse for homes where tea is a staple, this 3.0-liter Micom pot from Zojirushi boils water then keeps it hot. Equipped with a handy electric dispenser, the unit requires no pouring and makes it easy to fill mug after mug or add a quick shot of hot water to a bowl of oatmeal or ramen. A micro-computerized heating system monitors water temperature precisely and includes a re-boil mode and three keep-warm settings of 175, 195, or 208 degrees F. In addition, a dechlorinating mode helps reduce chlorine and odors, while a descaling mode cleans the interior pot. The unit also has a timer so you can program it to have water hot on your schedule. The pot's control touchpad is cleanly laid out, with satisfying buttons, function lights, and a digital display that shows present water temperature, temperature setting, and remaining time. An automatic lock helps keep fingers safe, and an automatic safety device cuts power to prevent overheating. Other helpful details include a wrap-around water level gauge, a 360-degree swivel base, a nonstick interior, a removable power cord, and a basket-style handle to simplify transport. The pot is no speed demon, taking about 27 minutes to boil a 3.0 liters, but its convenience makes up for the initial time investment. Zojirushi also makes the pot in 2.2-liter and 4.0-liter versions. --Emily Bedard

Excellent product June 12, 2008

I didn't even really need one of these damn things but bought it anyway and love it. It's solidly built, well engineered, and in general, just the sort of well-thought-out product that the Japanese are famous for. It ain't cheap, but IMHO, if it lasts five years, I would consider it a very reasonable price/value tradeoff.
The only minor complaint is that the time to boil the full load (3 liters) from room temperature is a little excessive -- 27 minutes. I think they should have Tim Allened it ("More Power") to speed up the "boil" mode.
Have fun with it. Keep the cat away from the steam vent. :)

I've had a Zojirushi water heater for 3 years now and I love it. While it seemed expensive when I bought it, I find it is well worth the price. Near boiling water is always ready to make tea, and I've saved countless minutes of what used to be a process of filling the kettle, turning on the heat, waiting, coming back, and then making tea. Instant oatmeal, soup and other products of course are similarly made faster, but also many "real cooking" tasks. Adding boiling water to a pot of fresh green beans for instance gets you cooking faster, and on a number of occasions I've emptied the entire water heater into a pot to make pasta without waiting.
I've also found other uses. If I only have one or two dishes to wash, I don't want to waste tap water waiting for it to warm up, so I dispense a little hot water into the dish I want to wash, then rinse with cold water, saving both water and energy.
Great gadget for the impatient tea/coffee drinker May 17, 2008

For quickly getting a cup of black tea or French-Press coffee (195 ), green tea (175 ) and Yerba Mate, Rooibos or fruit/herbal tea (208 ), this machine can't be beat, especially as it exists for 3, 4, and 5 liters of water. (Being single, I have the smallest version, but in a Tea Shop that I frequent they use the 5 liter with good effect). It is, however, only for cups, or french presses that fit underneath the spout. It keeps the water at three temperature levels depending on what you set, and has a Reboil-button, when you add water without emptying the pot first, it reboils automatically. Its normal position is 195 F which lessens the danger of bad burns (if you use it as directed that danger is nonexistent, but the preset temperature level - that you can change to 208 or 175 - is an additional safety device).
If you want to brew a whole pot of tea or coffee, however, you need a traditional water heater, as you cannot pour water out of this, only use the spout.
So five stars for a nifty device for grabbing cups of tea or coffee in a hurry and through the whole day (and night).

This is an excellent machine which boils water and keeps it at a high temperature. However, like anything else, once you pour water into a cup, it cools in five minutes. I also bought small a Bunn canister hot plate, not a mug warmer, which keeps the coffee or tea at a really hot temperature. In fact, one could get by with a small microwave, in the office, then the Bunn hot plate. The Zojibushi is good if multiple people are needing a quick hot water supply.
Great Hot Pot March 24, 2008

I bought this hot pot on someone's strong recommendation to replace a hot water dispenser on the sink in my kitchen. I use it many times a day for tea, boiled water for cooking, oatmeal, etc. It has three temperature choices and a 7 hour sleep option- all of which I use. When I bought it I was a bit tentative as to whether I would use it all that much, and the pot very quickly became indispensible in my kitchen. It is easy to operate, the instructions are well written, and I highly recommend it.
