Zojirushi and Hello Kitty(R) Get Countertop Cozy

Japanese Kitchen Appliance Manufacturer Adds a New Limited Edition Water Boiler to the Exclusive Hello Kitty® Collection
Zojirushi Water Boiler

Zojirushi, a premier manufacturer of premium kitchen electrics, and global lifestyle brand Sanrio®, announces the release of a new Hello Kitty® branded Micom Water Boiler & Warmer (CD-WCC30KT). Zojirushi's water boilers are a convenient kitchen counter appliance that allows users to have hot water at the ready and Hello Kitty by their side. Available in a 3-liter capacity, this supercute boiler features Hello Kitty® in gold to match the previously released rice cooker and is available online at shop.zojirushi.com and other retailers on Oct. 17, 2022 for a MSRP of $183.00.

Water boilers differ from electric kettles in that they hold a larger supply of water, and they do not shut off once water boils. Having hot water readily available is the perfect solution to quenching thirst and staying healthy. According to the Tea Association's Fact Sheet, research suggests that drinking 3 to 5 cups of certain varieties of tea per day can offer significant health benefits. See https://www.teausa.com/teausa/images/TeaCouncil-ResearchDoc-2015.pdf for more info on tea consumption.

The Micom Water Boiler & Warmer is ideal for use in the home or office, making tea, instant coffee, hot chocolate, instant soups, sauces and practical applications like blanching vegetables, or warming baby bottles. Features of this model include a micro-computerized temperature control system that maintains four hot water temperatures: 160ºF, 175ºF, 195ºF, or 208ºF. There is also a Quick Temp mode that heats the water to the selected keep warm temperature without reaching a boil, saving time and energy. In addition, an energy saving timer function automatically turns on the boiler at a set time to save electricity. The wide window water level gauge allows users to easily see when they need to refill, and the LCD panel displays the current water temperature. This model also has a Café Drip dispensing mode for slow water dispensing and boasts a safety auto shut-off that automatically turns off the boiler when empty, preventing over-heating of the unit. 

The Limited Edition is exclusive to the U.S. and Canada with a Hello Kitty® pattern designed specifically for Zojirushi.
