Hot water dispenser?

by Deleted User #16544 » May 9th, '08, 23:24

I have been considering buying an automatic tea maker for some time, but I don't really think there is a good choice out there yet, so I have decided to go with a hot water dispenser.

I have been looking at some Zojirushi products, but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations or anything. I am looking for one that has a range of about 140, 175, 195, and 208. As for volume, the more the better obviously. As far as price range, about up to 150 but if you know anything good, please don't hold back. Thanks!

I wouldn't trust any of those automatic tea makers, far too many variables from tea to tea for the control you have with one of them. Pretty much anyone will tell you that zoji is the way to go though.

Zojirushi currently has three model groups that can go as low as 140ºF: The ZUTTO® Micom (CD-FAC22), the Superior Micom (CD-JSC22 and CD-JSC30), and the Micom (CD-WBC30 and CD-WBC40).

The ZUTTO Micom corners the market on sleek looks, but it has the smallest capacity at just 2.2 liters. The Superior also has a 2.2 liter model, but goes as high as 3.0 liters. The Micom has also has a 3.0 liter model, but goes as high as 4 liters.

The list price on the ZUTTO is about $154. However, Amazon currently carries it for $125.99 and Target has it for $127.99. The webstore Abe's of Maine carries the 3 liter Superior Micom for $118 (and no shipping charge if you choose the 7-10 business days option). Amazon has a list price of $154 on the 4 liter Micom (my personal favorite), but currently has a sale price on it of $124.99.
