When boiling water in an electric kettle, many people in England boil about 500 ml of water. However, the amount of hot water that is really needed is only for a cup of tea (250 ml). It seems that the remaining hot water is thrown away. And the amount of electricity used to boil the discarded water is comparable to the electricity used to light streetlights all over England all night.


"MIITO" is a kitchen goods that solves this "overheating" problem. Invented by Dutch designer Nils Chudy. If you install a cup filled with water on "MIITO" and put a special rod in the water, it will boil water as much as you need and reduce unnecessary power consumption.

"MIITO" is compatible not only with cups but also with pots. It is also possible to heat soup, milk, and coffee as well as water. The simple shape of the rod makes it easy to clean.

"MIITO" is a simple design without switches. When the rod placed on the base is removed, it goes into standby mode. A cup etc. is placed on the base, and when the rod is inserted, switch on. Heating will start. When the water boils, it automatically shifts to standby mode. When the cup is removed from the base and the rod is returned, the switch is turned off.

"MIITO" has been awarded the James Dyson Award for "2014 Best Prize in the Netherlands".
