I'll take 10 seconds if it can delvier 98C water. Otherwise, for coffee (or tea), it's a pass.The carbon footprint of the insulated 3l water heaters from Zojirushi is pretty small, when you take it into context:- draws a lot of power to heat up, nearly as much as a standard kettle, but does so in a shorter time because of the sealed, vacuum chamber the water is in.- draws about as much power over 6 hours to maintain heat as a kettle does in 5 minutes to heat up 1l of water- we frequently use the Zoj to get near boiling water for cooking purposes (boiling veggies, etc), saving all that energy draw the stove would normally have to delvier- in coffee lab situations, the Zoj uses about 1/4 the power draw that a water tower does, though there is a downtime when you have to refill it.Before I got one of these, I was heating kettles about five or six times a day. Considering I go through one Zoj pot a day (on average), I'm using about half the energy now that I used to, and get the convenience of 208F / 98C water on demand.
