About this deal

If you have your heart set on a particular brand or even a selection of brands then we’d suggest you spend a bit of time writing up a list of the brands that you would happily buy. This can really help you in narrowing down the selection when it comes to choosing a product. For example, over at Currys PC World you can filter products by brand, so you could filter just to show the brands on your list. This is especially useful knowing that there are 128 Kettles to choose from at Currys PC World. Not to be confused with the Breville HotCup Hot Water Dispenser above, this Breville HotCup Hot Water Dispenser is also a big hit with consumers. If you’re looking for an affordable but hugely practical hot water dispenser then this appliance is up there with the best of them even if the model above looks rather better. It can supply you with five 250ml cups of hot water without refilling, which is more than adequate for average needs. Still holding your HotCup water dispenser over the sink, turn it the right way up and allow any water to drain out of the dispensing nozzle. If no water drains out of the nozzle, it may be because the stop button has been accidentally or intentionally pressed. Press the start button to allow water to drain from the nozzle. Sturdy construction and easy handling. After all, a unit that responds poorly to daily use is far more likely to cause painful spills and burns.

Depending on the model, some hot water dispensers may have myriad settings, the likes of temperature control, timer, etc. Meanwhile, others are brilliantly simple, boasting nothing but a power button. An instant hot water dispenser consists of a main water tank and a smaller reservoir. When you want hot water, the instant hot water dispenser transfers the appropriate amount of water from the main tank into the reservoir and heats it there, before dispensing it into your cup or mug (or other container) without the need for you to pour. Instant hot water dispensers are not, therefore, quite instant, but they are very fast indeed, often much faster than a standard kettle. The stainless steel finish promises durability, the carrying handle is useful when it’s time to fill up the tank and we like the overall ease of use on offer. A one-touch button dispenses up to 600ml of water in one serving, while the LCD display is handy for seeing what setting is currently selected.

As its full name suggests, the Breville VKJ367-01 has variable dispense, which basically means that there are nine serving sizes to choose from with a manual stop button for those “between size” cups and mugs. In terms of appearance, the Breville VKJ367-01 definitely has a lot going for it, in fact it’s one of the swishest kitchen appliances we’ve seen not just one of the swishest instant hot water dispensers. It’s also one of Breville’s third-generation instant hot water dispensers so it has a lot of functionality.

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. Need more? How about an upgrade to a 1.8L tank, all-steel construction, concealed heating element for safety, removable drip tray, and Breville’s ever-attractive blue-lit water window? The price point is certainly higher than the first entry on this list, but if you like to spoil yourself as a consumer, you’ll find it a bargain.The specification we have listed from Currys PC World for BREVILLE Hot Cup VKT124 8-cup Hot Water Dispenser is: Like many others on this list, the Morphy Richards’ 131004 Redefine only boils as much water as you need, saving energy. But that’s where the similarities end. Embedded into the volume control is a handy automatic mode, which you can set to conveniently dispense between 3-600mL at a time. Keep in mind that larger volumes are always manually dispensed. 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. The VonShef Hot Water Dispenser Instant Kettle is currently offered in two colours, which could be handy if you’re struggling to find a larger instant hot water dispenser, which also fits with your kitchen style. It has a capacious 2.5L water tank, which can be removed for cleaning or filling, although we would suggest that you’d probably find it easier to fill it with a jug or bottle. The opening is wide enough for this to be done easily.

GENEROUS CAPACITY - FAMILY-FRIENDLY: With an impressive 2.5 litre capacity, our one cup hot water dispenser is a true game-changer. It's larger than your average one cup kettle, making it perfect for large families or busy offices. Its rated voltage of AC 220-240V and a frequency of 50/60Hz ensures it's ready to perform reliably whenever you need it. 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.Many hot water dispenser listings play fast and loose with their language in an effort to obscure what their product can and can’t do. Very often, a search for “instant boilers” will lead you to dispensers that do not yield 100°C water. While this may not be a dealbreaker, just keep in mind that there is an appreciable difference between boiling and almost-boiling in many applications. (Pasta comes to mind!) Efficiency: Always-on vs. One Cup Kettle vs. Traditional Electric Kettles

At any rate, you should avoid traditional kettles, which boil 1-2 litres water every time you operate them. You’re just throwing money and time away in this use-case. Hot Water Dispenser Safety Features The Breville HotCup hot water dispenser respects your energy bill as much as your time, and boils only the water you need for the task at hand, and not a mL more. It offers a generous capacity of 1.5L, which is good for about 7 cups. What’s more, the guesswork of filling up is removed entirely with a large water window, which glows blue during a boil. Cleanup is made easy with a removable drip tray, stainless steel base construction, and permanent lime scale filter.

You work at BID, what a legend.

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. Whichever mode you use, you can always pause or stop the dispensing mid-stream for full control. There are dual streams, so you can actually fill two cups simultaneously. (We use these two functions to fill multiple cups in rapid succession: fill 2, pause, fill 2, pause, etc. Everyone gets served hot without having to wait!) 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.
