Siroca Corporation (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has announced the launch of a new "Temperature Control Electric Kettle" that enables users to set temperatures in 1°C increments and recall their favorite temperature settings with a single touch. The product will be available starting February 7, 2026.
Meeting Modern Drinking Habits
With the rise of dual-income households and solo dining trends, beverages have become increasingly personalized. Today, family members often enjoy their preferred drinks at different times throughout the day, whether during work breaks or relaxation time.
Siroca's Temperature Control Electric Kettle addresses this modern lifestyle by allowing users to register up to two favorite temperatures using the "Favorite Buttons." Once registered, these temperatures can be recalled instantly with a single touch, making it easy for different family members to prepare drinks at their preferred temperatures. The kettle can heat as little as 140ml—just one cup—reducing waste when preparing individual servings.
The device supports precise temperature control within a range of 60°C to 100°C in 1°C increments. This precision enables optimal extraction for various beverages: 80°C to 90°C for coffee depending on the roast, 95°C or higher for black tea, and specific temperatures for each type of drink to maximize flavor.
Product Features
1. Precise Temperature Control in 1°C Increments
The kettle allows temperature settings from 60°C to 100°C in 1°C increments. Users can heat water to the optimal temperature for coffee, black tea, Japanese green tea, warm water, and more, ensuring beverages are always enjoyed at their ideal temperature. The warming function can be set from 10 to 60 minutes in 10-minute increments.
Additionally, a "Boiling Mode" brings water to a full boil before maintaining the set temperature, making it convenient for preparing baby formula or warm drinking water.
Recommended Temperatures:
Light Roast Coffee: Approximately 94°C
Dark Roast Coffee: Approximately 84°C
Black Tea: 95°C or higher
Darjeeling First Flush: 85°C to 95°C
Gyokuro: 55°C to 60°C
2. One-Touch Favorite Temperature Recall
Users can register up to two frequently used temperatures using the "Favorite Buttons." These settings can be recalled with a single touch, eliminating the need to adjust temperature settings each time. The kettle can also heat as little as 140ml—one cup—allowing for efficient preparation of individual servings.
Convenient Scenarios:
- When you want to use different preferred temperatures for different beverages
- When family members have different temperature preferences
3. Thin, Straight-Pouring Spout
The carefully designed thin spout, with its top aligned at the same height as the pouring tip, allows users to pour water in a thin, straight stream exactly where intended.
This feature is particularly useful for hand-drip coffee preparation. Pouring water slowly in a thin stream reduces bitterness and ensures even distribution of water throughout the coffee grounds, resulting in better flavor extraction.
4. Tip-Over Prevention Structure for Safe Use
The kettle features a "Tip-Over Prevention Structure"*1 that minimizes water spillage even if the unit is accidentally knocked over. An automatic shutoff function also detects dry boiling and turns off the power to prevent overheating accidents and malfunctions.
The product complies with the "tip-over spillage prevention measures" that will become mandatory from June 2026 onward under the revised Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Act.*2
5. Easy-to-Clean Design
The lid is completely removable for easy cleaning. The kettle body also features a wide opening that allows users to reach inside for thorough cleaning, ensuring hygienic use at all times.
*1 [Test Method] Passed the "Tip-Over Water Flow Test" according to JIS C 9335-2-15:2021
*2 The Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Act was revised by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, requiring electric kettles manufactured or imported from June 2026 onward to have water spillage of 50ml or less when tipped over. This standard requires passing the "Tip-Over Water Flow Test" based on JIS C 9335-2-15:2021.
*Please note that even with the lid closed, water may flow from the spout or other openings depending on how the kettle is tipped.
