Tiger Launches PCZ-A080 Steam-Free Electric Kettle: ‘Takumi Drip’ for Ultimate Pouring Control
Tiger Corporation, a global leader in thermal control technology, will launch the “Steam-Free Electric Kettle PCZ-A080” on October 1, 2026. Since entering the electric kettle market in 2008 with the release of its first PFV model, Tiger Corporation has consistently focused on developing electric kettles with safety at their core.
The PCZ-A080 is Tiger Corporation’s first gooseneck electric kettle, designed with a strong emphasis on both safety and an unparalleled pouring experience, alongside rapid boiling speed. Its unique center of gravity and flow control nozzle designs allow for precise pouring, enabling users to direct the hot water to a specific spot with the desired amount. Furthermore, the kettle boasts an industry-leading boiling speed, heating one cup (approximately 140 mL) in about 45 seconds, making it ideal for busy mornings, quick breaks, or unexpected guests.
Key Features
1. Ultimate Pouring Control: “Magic Center of Gravity Balance” and “Biryu Nozzle”
Through repeated validation, the kettle’s center of gravity and flow control nozzle designs were meticulously refined to achieve precise pouring. This allows users to direct the hot water to their desired spot with the exact amount, offering an exceptional pouring experience.
Magic Center of Gravity Balance
The carefully designed center of gravity makes the kettle feel lighter, guiding it to the ideal pouring angle the moment it is lifted. This enables delicate control of the water flow with minimal wrist movement.
Biryu (Beautiful Flow) Nozzle
The unique shape of the nozzle, featuring proprietary flow control design, minimizes turbulence in the hot water, allowing it to pour in a beautiful, steady stream to the targeted point.
2. “Tiger Rapid Boil” Kettle: Industry-Leading Boiling Speed
The rapid boiling speed is achieved through Tiger Corporation’s proprietary printed heater. This allows water to boil quickly, making it convenient for busy mornings, during household chores, or when unexpected guests arrive. One cup (approximately 140 mL) boils in about 45 seconds.
3. First Gooseneck Electric Kettle with Steam-Free Function
Safety design is fundamental to Tiger Corporation’s electric kettles. The PCZ-A080 is the first gooseneck electric kettle to incorporate a steam-free function, providing enhanced safety for households with small children or pets. Through Tiger Corporation’s unique technology, steam is prevented from escaping the kettle body, reducing the risk of scalding and offering flexibility in placement.
