Product Description

The "Zutto" Collection is Zojirushi's first collection of products that is designed and developed as a series of products. The concept of the Zutto Collection was born as a result of the collaboration between Zojirushi and an interior designer in Japan. Unlike other Zojirushi products, the physical body of the Zutto was designed first, then the inner technology. Zutto (Soot-tow), meaning "always" in Japanese, is designed to be enjoyed and used universally, for any occasion, anytime. This new Zutto Micom Electric Dispensing Pot has one-touch electric dispensing system and a micro computerized temperature control system. It will display actual water temperature at all times and has a Dechlorinate (by extended boiling) and decaling mode. Also new to this item is a water level gauge which includes a red air filled ball (water level ball) making it easier to check the water level and an option to turn off the beep indicator that alerts completion of boiling process and low water level.

Amazon.com Product Description
With its large 74-ounce capacity, this 800-watt kitchen appliance keeps water at a constant hot temperature for drinks and other culinary uses. Simply fill the pot with water and plug it in. It boils the water and keeps it at a set temperature all day long, so hot water is ready at the touch of a button for hot tea, instant coffee, instant noodles, and even baby formula. The electric dispensing pot's multiple temperature settings include 140, 195, and 208 degrees F (reboils to 212 degrees F), and an easy-to-read LCD display shows the actual water temperature at all times. Its water-level gauge includes a red air-filled ball, which makes it easy to view the water level at-a-glance, and there's the option to turn off the beep indicator that alerts to the completion of the boiling process and low water level. The pot automatically turns off to avoid overheating when there is no water remaining in the pot or when the lid is left open. For added convenience, the appliance comes equipped with a removable power cord, automatic steam block, a 360-degree swivel base, dechlorinate (by extended boiling) and decaling mode, and an easy-to-clean nonstick interior. The dispensing pot measures 11-1/4 by 8-1/2 by 10 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Tea Essential
I've used this pot for some months now on a near daily basis and had absolutely no problems. It is a must for the tea enthusiast. Not only is it more stylish than most dispensing pots, it is in a league of it's own for selecting temperature and sustaining temperature over time. It is quick to boil, and can silently keep your water ready for tea for all-day use.

The cost of this pot is higher than your average boiling pot, but it shows in the extra features and in the build quality. The pump action is a much-loved feature, as is the break-away safety cord (all appliances should have such a cord in my opinion). You can just tell that the people that designed this knew what they were doing and cared.

On the downside, I wish for 3 things: 1) the ability to set the temp to more degrees (such as between 160 and 180 for green tea instead of 140); 2) an on-off switch instead of always just disconnecting the cord; and 3) a slightly deeper indent behind the spout so that more tea pots can easily fit under the spout.

If you are serious about tea, buy this unit.

Does a solid job
I've been pretty pleased with this little water heater. It lets you select three different temperatures (though I wish that it provided more options than that), has a handy water gauge on the front, a magnetically attached power cable, and a set of two buttons to hit so that you don't accidentally engage the water dispensor. I'm pretty pleased with it.

What a great convenience for tea enthusiasts...
Although the initial heat-up period is a bit long (I think about 15 minutes...long enough for me to forget to keep track anyway :-), once the water reaches the proper temperature, this is a wonderfully convenient product--so far we use ours primarily for those evening cups of tea, but occasionally we find it useful for other applications needing a quick dose of hot water. The steel with black exterior fits in perfectly with the other stainless appliances in our new kitchen as well so we don't feel a need to hide it--although there is a decent amount of hot steam released during the boil-mode (I just slide it forward so the steam is not captured under the cabinets), the exterior remains a comfortable temperature to touch. Except that we found it to be a bit high in price, we are very pleased with the function and appearance overall and would eagerly recommend it.
