Our Product of the Month is our new Zojirushi Micom Water Boiler & Warmer (CD-WHC40)–perfect for home or office!
This water boiler looks great on a kitchen counter or conference table. It has a stylish, clear-coated stainless body, with an easy-to-read water level gauge, a swivel base and sturdy handle.
It’s also packed with convenience and safety features. It comes in a generous 4-liter capacity and has a rust-resistant stainless steel interior that is not-coated, unique among all of Zojirushi’s other water boilers. For those wishing to avoid nonstick coating, this stainless steel interior offers a durable and easy-to-clean alternative. To make storing the product more convenient, the Power Cord is detachable. All surfaces that come into contact with your hot water are BPA-free.
The water boiler is innovatively designed with a microcomputer chip that controls the way water is heated and kept warm. It heats water to one of four selectable keep warm temperatures—208°F, 195°F, 175°F and 160°F. Delicate teas are best brewed at 160°F, while 175°F is the ideal brewing temperature for green teas. Oolong tea is best brewed at 195°F, and at 208°, the hot water is great for brewing black teas and herbal teas. At 208°F, water is also at the ideal temperature to make coffee, instant noodles or oatmeal and to blanch vegetables.
This water boiler also comes with the optional Quick Temp mode, one of Zojirushi’s signature features. Using this feature, water is quickly heated to either 195°F, 175°F or 160°F without first bringing it to a boil, saving energy and a significant amount of time. The easy-to-read LCD panel shows the actual water temperature at all times, and the control panel allows you to easily dispense hot water by first pressing the UNLOCK button, then the DISPENSE button.
Brewing classic Japanese Sencha tea is easy using this water boiler when set to 175°F Keep Warm. At a slightly higher temperature of 195°F, Fresh Fruit Tea is perfectly brewed. And at the highest temperature, Houjicha, or roasted green tea, brews perfectly at 208°F. This water boiler lets you blanch vegetables for delicious salads, too. Try out our Okra, Asparagus and Cherry Tomato Salad, with veggies blanched at 208°F.
The CD-WHC40 has multiple safety features including an easily detachable lid, which makes disposing water safe, an automatic dispense lock and auto shut-off.
We love this new water boiler and are sure you will, too. Let us know how you use it in the comments below!
Is the cd whc40 made in Japan? Or somewhere else
Hi Felix, the CD-WHC is manufactured in China. If you’re looking for water boilers manufactured in Japan, check out our CV-DCC, CD-LFC and CD-JWC models. Hope this helps!
when will zojirushi make the vacuum electric hybrid water boiler with a stainless steel interior? we’d love to upgrade, but want VE and to avoid nonstick
Hi Abby! We don’t have any immediate plans, but will pass on your comment to our R&D team!
I am also looking forward to made in japan stainless pot. For sure there is demand for non stick pot
Can I turn off my water heater without unplugging it?
Hi Susan! The CD-WHC40 would need to be unplugged to turn off the water boiler. Let us know if you have any questions.
Are there any 3L dispensers that are non-coated?
Hi Gail, we unfortunately do not have one at the moment, but will pass along your wish to our product R&D team!
What does “HH” on the display mean.
Hi Jean, on a water boiler it means that the internal temperature is hot, usually indicated that it’s out of water. Please try refilling the water boiler, and make sure you don’t fill it with hot water!
What kind of stainless steel is used? Thank you.
Hi Mercy, the stainless steel used to make the interior of the CD-WHC40 is SUS436L. It a great stainless steel that performs really well against rusting. However, because the interior is only stainless steel mineral deposits will accumulate much faster so we always recommend to keep up with the Citric Acid cleanings. Hope this helps!
Hello,
I have Zojirushi water boiler Model No CD-FAC22. I love my boiler. It is my second one. Unfortunately I cannot locate it’s upper lid. (Moving from one place to another always has consequences)
Where I can buy detachable lid? Please send me an email.
Thank you so much for your excellent products.
Sincerely,
Nara B
Hello, the lid is unavailable on our parts store, would you mind reaching out to our customer service team to find out if they have any on hand? https://www.zojirushi.com/app/customer_service/entry Thank you for using our products!
Are there any stainless steel interior water boilers that are made in Japan? If so, what is the model number.
Hi Jax, all of our water boilers have a stainless steel interior, but most are coated. The CD-WHC40 is the only one that’s not coated, and it’s made in Japan.
We will pass along your comment to our product R&D team, thank you!
Do you mean that only the interior of this pot is made in Japan since you mentioned earlier that model CD-WHC40 is manufactured in China. Please clarify. I need to get a water pot my my parents and they prefer the “Made in Japan” one. Please suggest a 3L pot model with the height as least 11.5 inches. Thank you.
Hi Kim, the CD-WHC is manufactured in China. The same manufacturing system and quality control are strictly enforced at all our factories worldwide to ensure that the products are manufactured to the same high standard that is expected of all products bearing the Zojirushi name.
Our models CD-JWC30 and CD-LFC30 are manufactured in Japan and are 3 liters in capacity. For more details on these models please visit: https://www.zojirushi.com/app/category/water-boilers-warmers?ids=57,69 Please let us know if you have any questions!
Please make stainless interior water boiler and rice cooker. Made in Japan not China or other countries. I’m sure many people are looking to replace and/upgrade both of these to stainless in their home.
Hi there,
Thank you for your comment. We will be passing this along to our R&D team for future considerations! Have a great day.
What is the tune it plays when heated? We all know it and it is driving us crazy that we can’t think of the name. 🙂 Our sanity thanks you in advance.
Hi Shawna, the music it plays when it’s done heating is Minuet! Sorry to keep you hanging for a week!!
Does the new CD-JWC30 play any music? We need to replace an 8-year old CD-WBC30 and would miss the tune if it were gone.
Hi Rose, the CD-JWC30 doesn’t play a melody or have any alerts. Our CD-WCC has a melody and is the most similar to the CD-WBC. I hope this helps!
When can I but zojirushi vacuum electric hybrid water boiler with a stainless steel interior? I want VE and avoid non stick because mine rusted at water line and near drain.
Hi Kathleen, thank you for your request! At this time we don’t have plans for a VE, no-coated model of water boiler, but we’ll pass along your request to our product R&D team!
My Zojirushi CD-WBC30-TS Micom 3 liter water boiler suddenly turned to thermal insulation failure today, and the water cannot stop. Please tell me the address of the New York Service Center?
Hello, we’re sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Here’s our service center in New York:
Turnpike Appliance Service-Oceanside

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Hi, I just bought a VE hybrid water boiler yesterday, after boiled, I put it in vacuum position before I went to bed. However, this morning when I dispense the water, it’s cold. Is this normal? The reason we choose VE because of the vacuum. If It does not have any advantage, we’ll switch to micom one. Thanks for any suggestions!
Hi Jen, the Vacuum Insulation Keep Warm mode will save electricity by shutting off power to the heater after the boiling process is completed and keeps the water warm by using the thermal insulation only. The temperature will slowly drop overtime. If you would like to keep water warm at a steady temperature, then it’s best to use one of the keep warm temperatures instead. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Thanks again for the quick reply. Hope Zojirushi can improve the thermal insulation. I bought this VE boiler to replace my Stanley thermal bottle, which can hold the boiled water to warm longer than this Zojirushi VE.
Hi Jen, thank you for your feedback! Vacuum insulated bottles tend to have a smaller mouth opening which will increase their heat retention capabilities. The water boiler has a larger opening by design for ease of cleaning and maintenance. If you would like to have hot water ready in the morning and save energy simultaneously, then please try using the energy-saving timer function (p.14 of the manual). We hope this helps!
It. Would be nice to have a light for late night refills next to the spout, and a battery back up for power outages.
Hi Chris! Thank you for your suggestions and we will pass this request on to our Research and Development Team.
Are all of the stainless interior WHC40 models exactly the same in all the online stores you list on your website? Each store seems to use a slightly different model # but I can’t tell if there are any differences in the product? Thanks!
Hi Jo, the CD-WHC40 may be listed as CD-WHC40XH, which is the model number with the color code. Please rest assured that it is the same model. Please let us know if you have any more questions!
Where is the Zojirushi CD-WCC30 Micom Water Boiler & Warmer, Silver made?
Hi Sophia, the CD-WCC is manufactured in China. The same manufacturing system and quality control are strictly enforced at all our factories worldwide to ensure that the products are manufactured to the same high standard that is expected of all products bearing the Zojirushi name. Please let us know if you have any questions!
We bought CD-JWC30 on Apr. 3, 2019. We always handle with care to avoid water on the top panel. Today it produced a pop sound and we found steam in the display panel. The Unlock button didn’t work. We emptied the boiler to try. But then the display shows blinking FF with no light on the panel, no buttons work. Is it completely dead?
We don’t believe expensive Zojirushi appliance works for just 1 year 9 months.
Hi Joseph, steam inside the display screen would indicate that water got inside the panel, which can cause water damage on the electronic components of the water boiler. Since you are getting an error code then the water boiler will need inspection from an authorized service center. Please reach out to you closest authorized service center for further assistance: https://www.zojirushi.com/app/service_centers
We used Panasonic water boiler for 30 years and there was no problem.
We really don’t believe expensive Zojirushi water boiler is so short-life.
Hi I noticed the little wire netting metal dome shaped item inside of electric water boiler CD-WHC40 model which is Remove-able. Is that normal? What does it do? Does water go underneath it? I hope water doesn’t touch any electric wire and stuff. Please advise.
Hi Ines, the domed net on the bottom of the water boiler is a removable filter. It prevents any large debris from going into the water boiler and causing a clog. We recommend removing, cleaning, and replacing it before a citric acid cleaning cycle. We hope this helps!
Ok thanks. So just to clarify for my understand, there is a compartment underneath the dome level which holds water? Is that water also able to be pumped out?
I tried to unscrew the nail from bottom plate just to understand the build up of it but unable to unscrew it.
Hi Ines, the filter would be placed above the hole where the water flows for dispensing. If you removed screws from the lid then please take a look at the cleaning and maintenance portion of your instruction manual. It will explain how to replace the screws or you can reach out to our Customer Support team for assistance as well.

Hi, I’m looking for a water boiler and came across Zojirushi Water Boiler. And there are so many different models. There are CD-JWC, CV-DCC, CD-WBC, and CD-WCC. I really don’t know how to choose. I tried to find what these terms stand for but couldn’t find them. Which one is best for home use? thanks
Hi Tracey, all the models you mentioned are for home use. The CV-DCC40/50 VE Hybrid water boiler is the only model with our vacuum insulation technology that will maintain the temperature longer without the use of the heater. Most of our customers will select their water boiler based on whether they want it to be the Hybrid model, color, and capacity. The nonstick coating helps slow down the accumulation of minerals but if you prefer it not to have it, then the model CD-WHC40 is the only model that does not have a nonstick coated interior.
I hope this is helpful! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Is CD-LCC30 made in China?
The inner pot coat is T-fal?
Thanks
Hi Helen, the model CD-LCC30 was manufactured in Japan. The inner liner has a non-stick coating containing PTFE- a material commonly used for non-stick coating in cookware for conventional kitchen use (FDA approved). Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Does “rust-resistant” mean that at some point the uncoated stainless steel liner will rust and if so, does that mean the unit will no longer be safe to use? Thanks
Hi Cheryl, over time and use the liner will accumulate minerals such as calcium or iron. Calcium will leave a white residue and iron will look like rust on the surface. Since the liner does not have any coating, the minerals will attach more easily to the surface and the water boiler will need to be descaled more often than the water boilers with a nonstick coating. If the water being used has a high mineral content, then the water boiler will require a citric acid cleaning to be performed at least once a month. We hope this helps!
Hi,
The Micom water boiler interior is stainless steel. Is the interior not coated with anything at all or is there a coating on it? This blog says not-coated but an Amazon video says “clear coated”.
If the interior stainless steel is coated, can you please share what it is coated with?
Hi MJ, the interior is made of stainless steel without any coating over it. The video refers to the outer body which is also stainless steel and is clear coated. I hope this helps!
