Miroco electric kettle temperature control 1.7L double wall keep warm reviews
Johnny, An amazon verified purchase mentioned in his review –
Insulated tea kettle speed test: Miroco Temperature Control vs. Krups. Are they comparable?
I specialize in small kitchen appliance reviews and am a bit embarrassed to admit that have now reviewed eight electric kettles. My wife and I are tea aficionados and insist on an adjustable temp kettle. We most often use the 175 degree setting for green tea. The new Krups was our first insulated kettle and is a fine yet expensive product. For about 20% less, I decided to compare this new Miroco with a very similar design to the Krups. In my opinion, the highest quality appliances should be fairly priced, but reliable and also of long term value. Can the Miroco compete?
Miroco Temperature Control MI-ED004 vs. Krups BW801852 / Features, safety and seniors:
Both have the same 1.7 liter (57 ounce) capacity, with very similar features. I ordered the Krups first and find it terrific. However, its lid is slightly flimsy and you need to be directly in front of it to see the current brew temp. Both brands have a great feature: you can see your temp rising on its way to your desired final temperature.
Both kettles are fully insulated and cool to the touch even if boiling within. If young kids can access the pot, get either one of these models. Plastic on the outside with stainless steel within yields another advantage: light weight. When filled with water, typical metal kettles are heavy. Beyond the safety consideration, for those with hard or arm mobility issues, such as some seniors, I strongly suggest a versatile and light kettle such as either of these.
Miroco MI-ED004 vs. Krups BW801852 / Design and convenience:
As you can see in the photos, the designs initially look very much the same, but the method to set and see the current temp is quite different. Both have suitably wide lids for filling but the Miroco is wider yet, making it more convenient for those with less pouring dexterity. Both models have ample filling room but the Miroco lid is larger and stronger.
All things considered, the ergonomics of the handle and design of the Krups is a slight advantage but both lift and pour with aplomb. If you plan to store under a counter cabinet, measure your space before ordering since the Krups is taller.
Miroco MI-ED004 vs. Krups BW801852/ Workmanship, safety and ease of use:
Outstanding workmanship for either brand. The Krups only shows a 1.7 liter line inside the aluminum inside of the kettle. The Miroco has an advantage—it also shows 1 liter and ½ liter fill amounts. For either kettle, it’s best to first fill a measuring cup with your water first before pouring into the pot.
Miroco MI-ED004 vs. Krups BW801852/ Temp choices and features:
The two kettles have virtually the same temp choice features, yet implemented in very different ways. The Krups is undeniably cool. The temp is shown in large readable numbers on the front of the kettle. With the Krups, you press a button on top of the handle to toggle through the temp options. The temp choice will show as a light blue color–easily readable–on the front of the teapot. At the top of the handle, there are just two buttons to press to control setting. The technique is not difficult to learn. The Miroco’s temp settings and current temp readout are all shown in smaller but plenty readable numbers at the top of the handle. It is easy to click though each setting to get to the desired set temp. As you can see in the photo, I like that the temperature on top of the Miroco can be seen from all angles. The Krups can only be read from the front, yet is more aesthetically pleasing.
Both brands have a very neat count up thermostat feature I have not seen on any of the other six tea kettles I have previously reviewed. It’s a cool feature to show the real time temp although not a necessity. Also of importance is the ability to hold the temp for up to 30 minutes. Each has this feature but if you lift the pot off the kettle to pour, the keep warm setting must be set again with a few button clicks.
Miroco MI-ED004 vs. Krups BW801852/ All important performance tests:
As both are 1500 watts, each has terrific, fast speed far surpassing stovetop kettles or microwave heating. For a full 1.7 liter pot (57 ounces), the Krups shut off at the 212 degree boiling point in 7:06. The Miroco took only 7:50 yet I could hear it bubbling and boiling at the 7:42 mark. In everyday real world usage, this is not a meaningful difference yet the Krups is slightly faster. For 24 ounces, the Miroco was fastest, finishing in just 3:16 versus 3:21 for Krups. For 16 ounces, both brands were also within just a few seconds of either other Plenty quick all around!
At the green tea setting of 175 degrees, for 24 ounces, the Krups took just 2:16 while the Miroco finished in 2:40. For 16 ounces, both brands were again very close.
Both of these pots are fully insulated. Even an hour or two after turning off, the water inside is still plenty hot. Each can be brought back to a full boil in just a minute or two, depending on how much water is inside.
Miroco MI-ED004 vs. Krups BW801852/ Temperature consistency:
When brewing to 212 degrees, both brands hit the boiling point and are ready to pour. Yet, it is likely that in buying a versatile temp variable kettle like these, you may also care about consistency at different temperatures, and in using the keep warm setting. For example, Chinese green teas are best brewed between 170 and 180, while delicate Japanese Senchas benefit from 10 degrees cooler yet. When using each kettle’s 175 degree setting for green tea, as soon as the brewer beeped and stopped, I used a Thermapen instant read thermometer and learned the Miroco’s British-engineered Strix thermostat measured exactly 175 degrees. Excellent performance indeed! The Krups was 173, also superb.
Both are among the most consistent pots I have tested for maintaining temps—far more consistent than most. What about temp consistency using keep warm feature? Once desired temp is reached, each kettle will sit idle until the internal water temp drops 6-8 degrees. Then a sensor kicks in, very briefly turns on the kettle for mere seconds, bringing the temp back in range. Both brands did well using the keep warm setting.
Miroco MI-ED004 vs. Krups BW801852/ Warranty and the long term:
Krups warranty is an impressive 24 months. Miroco’s warranty is not listed on Amazon but the company’s website states an 18 month warranty and an additional 18-month extension with registration.
Fast boil, accurate temperature, all stainless interior, wide opening for easy cleaning.
So far, this kettle is fantastic! And it blends in nicely with our other appliances.
Easy to use (I like the single button press to boil); nice wide opening, much bigger than the Cuisinart we used to have–maybe 4.5-5 inches in diameter–so I can reach my (rather large) hands inside easily to clean it if need be (though we will generally use it with RO filtered water, hopefully avoiding much buildup).
The temperature readout seems accurate–as in, it precisely tracked the reading indicated on my Thermapen when I heated a single cup of water. The Thermapen indicated a few degrees variability for larger quantities of water.
It boils fast–one cup of water, initially at 61F took about 1 minute and 42 seconds from when I pushed the Start button (i.e. including a delay of about 20 seconds before the indicated temperature started to rise) to reach 212F. FWIW, the 0.5L “minimum” quantity seems to pertain mostly to the temperature control algorithm–I specified a setpoint of 170F with 1 cup of water and watched it hit 170F, at which point it beeped, but then overshot to about 180F before stabilizing. The same test with about 1L of water came to 170F, beeped, and stayed at 170F.
The boiled water tasted like boiled water (no issues with any “off” tastes that I had seen mentioned in reviews of other products); it has already made us some nice cups of tea.
Another plus–the insulation of the exterior is great! The outside feels “warm”–maybe 80 degrees–with a liter of boiling water inside. We always had to be careful with the old Cuisinart when it was full of boiling water, and be sure to keep anything plastic away.
Couple small quibbles, perhaps to address in the next iteration:
* I like the minimalist design, but could we have separate buttons for Temp+ and Temp- (maybe a low-profile rocker? or move the keep warm button), to increment the temperature without having to cycle through if you miss it?
* Could it have a few more graduations inside (maybe 0.25L increments…or even, cups)?
