I’m guessing my cheap scale? 1000g-0.1g.

Yea another zoujirushi person! I know what you mean about it taking a lone time… but once it wears in it becomes a little faster.

New toys are always fun, learning how to use it isn’t. I woke up and pressed reboil and when I came back to it later I was surprised that it was playing a song! The energy saver feature also confuses me a bit. I guess it wasn’t on yesterday as I kept pressing the button past 10hr. I should really read the instructions manual.

It takes 4hrs to cool to 140F! That’s insane! Haha, seems my gyokuro will have to wait.

haha I don’t use the stupid energy saver settings… they scare me… but I’ve had mine for 6 months and it gets down to green tea temp in about an hour and a half… it’ll wear in
WAIT! it plays a song!>!?! ok I have to play with the energy saver features now

Hahaha, green takes me two hours. Yeah! Apparently if you hold the unlock button you can change it from silent mode to melody to beep. Once it finishes reboiling it plays a tune and it won’t stop! I’m sure it does but it was going on for a while. When I set it on 10hrs it started playing some music too! It’s scary!

It does stop, honest. ^^ Mine does. It just plays through the musical phrase twice, and then stops. :D

Did I mention there’s an elephant? The logos an elephant. I don’t know why, but I’ve been fascinated with them lately. Ohhhh I think I know what my new avatar is going to be!

I guess I just wasn’t patient enough. I was like AHHHH when is this melody going to stop!
