After boiling, the thermopot keeps the water temperature 90-95 ° C for an hour and a half. Then, during the day, it maintains heat at 80 ° C. Very comfortably! Especially if a temperature maintenance program is provided. You can brew teas the way you like:
- 80 ° C suitable for Japanese teas;
- 90 ° C - for brewing green tea;
- 98 ° C - for black tea, coffee, soups and instant noodles.
What is a thermopot
A thermopot is a thermos kettle that can boil up to five liters of water at a time.
It consumes half the energy of a 1.5-liter electric kettle. True, such economy will have to pay with time: 5 liters of water boils in 20 minutes. But this disadvantage is more than compensated for: with prolonged boiling, the water is cleared of chlorine.
Special heat-insulating materials of the flask reduce heat loss by 42%. Accordingly, the device turns on less often and consumes less electricity - 9-13 W per hour is spent. To save energy, the water can not be boiled, but slowly heated to the desired temperature. Heating time 2-4 hours. Of course, not fast, but the light bills will be less.

Karina leftreview: "At first I did not understand why we need a thermopot. But I quickly got used to the fact that there is hot water all the time. How else, I can not imagine. Very convenient, especially with small children - when you need to quickly prepare baby food. We tried various types of temperatures set in it, corresponding to a certain type of tea. Indeed, the taste of the tea only improves. It is easy to clean: made as described in the instructions, and everything is clean! There is no sediment and scale in the mug when pouring. Not like a regular kettle. 3 liters for us, adults and two children, is enough for a day. The thermo-pot boils silently. It is convenient that there is a sound signal, moreover, unobtrusive. Its undoubted merit is that there will always be boiling water. Even if the electricity was cut off. Our whole family is happy, the device is just super!».
