About this deal

An instant hot water dispenser may seem innocuous enough. But, it has the intrinsic capacity to do major damage — be it to your hand, home, property, or even itself. While the electronics are rarely complicated on these devices, the heating element must literally bring water to a boil. This means it gets dangerously hot. Flush scale, bacteria and mold from the insides of your device —Once again, simple white vinegar is a miracle solution. Simply mix it with some water, and fill it in your hot water dispenser reservoir. Run a full boil, and repeat as necessary to empty the tank. For good measure, repeat the process to ensure a thorough cleansing. Finally, run one final tank of pure water through to remove taste. You’ll want to do this every 3-6 months, as mineral build up can impede basic function. Plus, you don’t want to drink organic buildup, which can harm your health! The Addis Thermo Pot comes in 3.5L and 5L versions, which makes it by far the biggest instant hot water dispenser in our list. It also has a very different appearance than the other instant hot water dispensers on our list, in fact it looks like a rather high-tech urn, which is fair enough because that’s essentially what it is. We also like the simple-but-effective design of the water tank, which illuminates so you can keep a beady eye on how your water levels are faring. We’re also keen on the streamlined design, which makes cleaning the Breville HotCup Hot Water Dispenser a doddle.

A drip tray gives you the option to change the height – from grandmas old china cup to your larger novelty cup – the HotCup can take on most cup varieties. The sleek and stylish design will allow the HotCup Water Dispenser to fit perfectly in any kitchen in any home. The next step in the price analysis was to look at the average price you would typically expect to pay for Kettles and as Currys PC World was selected for this review we’ve used them for gathering our information on the average price of Kettles.

Conclusion For a One Cup Kettle

Always switch off and unplug your HotCup water dispenser and allow it to completely cool before cleaning. Never immerse the base unit, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid. Do not use harsh abrasives, chemicals or oven cleaners.

Introducing the Breville HotCup Water Dispenser – with its 1.7litre capacity and 3kW element, this allows the HotCup to rapid boil in a matter of minutes, meaning the waiting time is never too much. The VKT124 dispenser boasts a super energy efficient design which is perfect for those families who are conscious of not wasting electricity, or young professionals who don’t have the time to wait for the kettle to boil. Quantifying the energy use for the chiller is more complex because it's easy to keep a filter jug in the fridge door. It's hard to say how much extra energy it takes to keep that cool and how much is lost all those times you open and close the fridge door to fetch water. We also really like the adjustable height of the drip tray, which lets you accommodate multiple sizes of receptacles. There’s no fancy filters or automatic measuring, but you have full control to start and stop its standard dispensing amount, which is just enough to fill a cup.

Best Instant Hot Water Dispenser (Any Purpose)

Notwithstanding this, and perhaps rather surprisingly given its headline selling point, the Breville VKT124 only dispenses water in 250 ml servings, which means that if you want to fill up a large mug you will need more than one serving. If you have an “in between” mug, then there is also a manual stop button. On the plus side, however, you’re not going to be waiting long for your hot water as the Breville VKT124 has a 3 kW flat element for fast boil times and easy cleaning. Performance is sprightly, with water up to 99-degrees available in 5 seconds. The nozzle is nice and accurate too while a small drip tray in the dispensing area takes care of any spillages. Oyu has since added a higher drip tray accessory too, making slashes a thing of the past. Then we thought that we should be looking at Breville Kettles rather than just looking at Kettles or just looking at Breville products. By combining the two pieces of data it helps to ensure that the prices and analysis we’re carrying out is as accurate as possible and gives you the closest match to the average price of similar products to BREVILLE Hot Cup VKT124 8-cup Hot Water Dispenser as possible.

At this point, you should have a good idea what kind of instant hot water dispenser solution will work best for you. Consider the brand. We’ll go into more detail in a moment about brand and whether Breville is your best option for Kettles. But the point here is just to make sure you’re factoring in brand when considering the quality of a product. Some brands will be better known for quality than others, and no doubt some of the much higher quality brands will attract a higher price for their products. EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF INSTANT HOT WATER: Cooks Professional electric instant hot water dispenser boasts a blazing 2600W heating element, ensuring your water is ready in mere seconds. You have full control with our manual stop function, so you can customise hot water.This time, however, you have a manual stop switch to assert full control over the quantity of water dispensed — leave just the right amount for cream and sugar, every time. Or, if you’d rather let the machine handle it, you can dial in your cup size from 9 settings, and the Brita technology toting HotCup will fill only the specified amount and not a drop more. Consider the price. We’ll dive into a lot more detail on the price of BREVILLE Hot Cup VKT124 8-cup Hot Water Dispenser shortly, but in terms of quality, the obvious advice here is ‘you get what you pay for’. It’s really just being aware that if you’re buying the cheapest of the Kettles from Currys PC World you might not expect the same level of quality as you’d get from a decent quality product like BREVILLE Hot Cup VKT124 8-cup Hot Water Dispenser. Convenient, chilled, filtered water from a tap – both still and sparkling. This is the deluxe option if you don't need a boiling water tap but you do want to free yourself from a bottled water addiction. Look out for Grohe Red if you want boiling water. If you’ve got a busy household or office, your best option is to go for a large-capacity always-on model. Otherwise, one of the smaller units that heats water per cup will do nicely. I liked the machine's adjustable drip tray. You can move it up to lift smaller cups to the perfect height for no splattering or go low for large cups. I even found that I could remove it completely to fill my cafetière or a saucepan with hot water. I did start using it to make pots of coffee but the habit of boiling the (1.7 litre) kettle if I needed to fill a big pan was harder to shake.

Some of the better models also come equipped with handy functions, like scale filters and removable drip trays for straightforward cleaning. As with urns in general, the water tank is integrated into the body, which means that you would have to move the whole unit to a sink to fill it. While this is theoretically possible, the smaller of the two sizes holds 3.5 litres of water and the larger holds 5 litres and that would be a lot of weight to carry so filling the tank with a jug or bottle would probably be a better idea. If the previous hot water dispenser was Goliath, here we come upon David in the form of the VYTRONIX CUP01 one cup kettle. A hot water dispenser, aka instant hot water dispenser, is a device that does exactly what its name suggests — heats water instantaneously. Comprising a water tank with a heating element, hot water dispensers bring water to a near-boiling temperature on demand. What is a one cup kettle?Overall, I’ve found the Breville HotCup to be pretty good so far although I’d like more capacity. But, if you’re just after the occasional cup of nigh-on-boiling water for the occasional brew then it’s ideal. The adjustable shelf works to good effect by further reducing any possible splashing if your gap between cup and nozzle is too far initially. The Klarstein Hotcano Hot Water Dispenser is perfect for anyone who tends to get through a lot of cups of anything hot during the day, or night. With its sizeable 4 litre capacity, the appliance can be filled up and keep you fuelled with a convenient supply of ready-to-go hot water on tap whenever you need it. REFILL WITH EASE: Simply flip open the lid to top up the tank, or for added convenience, remove the tank using the built-in carry handle and fill it up directly from the tap. The dimensions, at L27.2 x W18.5 x 30.6cm, make our hot water dispensers for kitchen a compact addition to your countertop. The large water window also makes accurate filling easy, so you never run out of water halfway through making the teas and coffees. What’s more, with a patented variable height drip tray, Breville’s HotCup Water Dispenser lets you fill everything from your brother’s comedy two-pint mug to your mum’s tiny teacup without ever spilling a drop. From the stylish and sleek appearance to the permanent, fuss-free limescale filter, this is a water dispenser where every element of design has been crafted with user experience in mind.
