Utility: Often when one boils water they use a huge kettle , the energy consumption is much more energy than required. Boiling water requires as much energy to light 50 light bulbs and this product by Rio Soetanto resolves this problem through this product which only boils the amount of water required.

How it works? The product with 6 mugs has been developed to reduce the waste of the parts. It uses tolerance and snap fit as the joining methods. Users can themselves replace the parts, and therefore reduce the unnecessary wasted products in the land fill. Consumers can use the navigation system which allows them to choose the amount of heat they want to use and therefore reduce the unnecessary wastage of energy.

What's unique? With a good-looking design, the main material in the product is ABS plastic and it does not contain toxic for the users. The material is durable and can be recycled while the induction heating system improves the boiling time.

The mugs are made of stainless steel which helps in the induction heating system to transfer the heat from the bottom to the top of the water. The product uses the touch point as the navigation system, to reduce the button parts. Users select the amount of heat they want to use.
