- What temperatures can it hold?
- It holds water at selectable settings from about 140°F up to a full boil at 212°F. It is not a cooler, so it cannot keep water below that range.
- How does it compare with the 3-liter and 5-liter Zojirushi boilers?
- It holds 4 liters, between the compact 3-liter models and the 5-liter ones. Choose it if a 3-liter tank runs dry too often but the 5-liter unit is too big for your counter.
- Does it need special water or cleaning?
- Tap water is fine, but minerals leave scale, so descale with a citric acid cleaner every few weeks to months depending on your water. The non-stick coated base makes cleaning easier.
- Can I use it for tea and pour-over coffee?
- Yes. Set it to the temperature your tea or coffee calls for and dispense directly into your cup or carafe. It is not a brewer, so you still do the steeping or pouring yourself.
- What is in the box?
- The boiler unit and its power cord, plus a manual. Citric acid cleaning packets are usually sold separately.
- Is it safe around kids?
- The dispense lever has a child lock, but the body and steam vent get hot, so keep it back from counter edges.
