A handy workhorse for homes where tea is a staple, this 4.0-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, and 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 35 minutes to boil 4.0 liters, but its convenience makes up for the initial time investment. Zojirushi also makes the pot in 2.2-liter and 3.0-liter versions. --Emily Bedard

What Makes the Panorama Window Micom Electric Dispensing Pot Special?

Unlike a kettle you heat up on the stove or an electric kettle that boils and shuts off, the Panorama Window Micom Electric Dispensing Pot boils water without getting hot on the outside and keeps the water hot as long as it’s plugged in. It’s safe, convenient, and once you have one, you will never live without one. The Panorama Window water level gauge, multiple temperature settings, and electric dispensing makes this electric dispensing pot extra special and convenient.
