Project Overview

Miito is an innovative product that heats liquids directly in the vessel to be used, hence eliminating the heating of excess water. Simply fill your cup with water, place it onto the induction base and immerse the rod in the liquid. The induction base heats the rod, which then heats the liquid surrounding it. Miito works with non-ferrous vessels of any size, for example a pot of tea when inviting guests. Miito can also heat your soup or milk for a coffee.

- Heat any liquid in any vessel!
- Heat only the amount you need!
- Saves energy and water resources!
- Easy to use, clean and simple!

Project Details

“One day of extra energy use [from overfilling electric kettles] is enough to light all the streetlights in England for a night.” -Leyla Acaroglu

Standard Electric kettles requires to be filled until the min mark (500ml) even if you would like to heat just one cup of tea. Each time by over filling your electric kettle you waste double the energy, double the water and of course also time.

Miito does not have an instate button: simply lift the rod from the base and it shifts to “Standby” mode. In this mode a small current flows, which detects the ferrous material of the induction plate. Once a vessel is placed onto the base and the rod is placed inside, the full induction power turns on and heats the induction plate of the rod. The device signals once the liquid has boiled and shifts back into “Standby”. By placing the rod on the base, the device shuts off.
