This is my new Zojirushi hot water dispensing pot. I love it! I’ve wanted one of these for ages. There was a larger size, but this smaller, 2.2 liter pot is just right for me. I put this 6-ounce teacup here for a size comparison. I know you can’t see how hot the water is, but it is hot! It has already boiled, and gone down a bit to settle at 208F. It will stay this way, 24/7, unless I change the temperature option or bring it to the boil again.
