Zojirushi CD-LTC50-BA Review
Imagine having hot water heated to the exact temperature anytime you want at the touch of a button. With the Zojirushi CD-LTC50-BA, that’s now a possibility. This nifty appliance can heat water in minutes, thus allowing you to have hot water in your kitchen 24/7. It’s a convenient electric water dispenser and comes with a myriad of beneficial features as explained below.
Variable Temperature Settings
One of the biggest drawbacks of heating water with other appliances is that it can sometimes be difficult to set the precise temperature that you want. However, this Zojirushi water boiler and warmer will give you complete control on how hot you want your water to be. There are three temperature settings to choose from, which include:
• 175 degrees F
• 195 degrees F
• 208 degrees F (brings water to a boil)
You can choose to keep water warm without bringing it to a boil using the Quit Temp mode, and this function keeps water warm at 175 or 195 degrees F as long as the machine remains plugged to a power outlet. The other temperature setting brings water to a boil. Being able to set variable temperature settings comes in handy especially when brewing different blends of tea or coffee that demand accuracy in the water temperature.
Generous Capacity
For a countertop water heater, the Zojirushi CD-LTC50-BA is reasonably sized. According to the manufacturer, this water boiler can hold 169 ounces (5 liters) of water, which is equivalent to 21 8oz cups.
With such a generous capacity, you’ll always have a constant supply of hot water in your kitchen. It takes less than 10 minutes to boil water when the appliance is at full capacity. A water gauge at the front side lets you know how much water is left during usage.
Designed with Convenience in Mind
If convenience is one of the top features you desire in kitchen appliances, then this water boiler/warmer from Zojirushi will not disappoint. It has a few features that you will find convenient, such as the:
• Re-boil button
• 7 hour timer delay
• Keep warm setting
You can use the keep warm setting by activating the Quick Temp mode and choosing your desired temperature. The water boiler will keep your water warm for as long as it’s plugged in. In case previously boiled water gets cold, simply hit the re-boil button on the control panel. With hot boiled water at your disposal, you can cook instant foods like noodles, oatmeal, or custard.
The convenient 7-hour delay timer can also be set up the previous night so that you can wake up with hot water to brew your cup of coffee the next morning.
Easy to Use
The features mentioned above make this electric water boiler and warmer very simple to use. For instance, the water boiler has a carry handle, which makes it easy to place on the kitchen countertop or any other raised platform.
Pouring water into the container also does not require much effort. Simply press the flap on the top lid and pull it up with your fingers. You can detach the lid at the hinge, and this makes cleaning the interior easier. A maximum water level on the side lets you know when the container is full. If you accidentally fill the appliance to the brim past the maximum level, simply close the lid and tilt it to drain water from the water removal area on the top.
The intuitive buttons on the control panel allow you to choose temperature settings, delay time, or dispense water at the push of a button. Once water boils or reaches the preferred temperature, press unlock and hold down the dispense button to draw water from the spout mounted at the front.
