Know before you buy
VE stands for Vacuum Electric. The unit uses vacuum insulation—similar to a high-end thermos—to maintain water temperature with minimal electricity, only engaging the heater when necessary to keep the water at your selected temperature.
Yes. The boiler features multiple preset temperature settings, allowing you to select the ideal heat for green tea, oolong, or black tea without needing to manually cool the water.
The Café Drip mode significantly slows the flow rate of the water. This is specifically designed for pour-over coffee, giving you better control and preventing splashing when filling a small dripper.
The non-stick coating is designed to prevent mineral buildup and make cleaning straightforward. You can typically wipe it clean with a soft sponge, though you should avoid using abrasive scrubbers to protect the finish.
Because of the vacuum-insulated walls, the water will remain hot for several hours even if the power is disconnected. However, the electric dispensing pump will not function without power.
While it holds a generous amount of water, the footprint is roughly 9 by 12 inches. It is best suited for households that use hot water frequently throughout the day or for those who prefer not to refill the tank constantly.
