Breville HotCup Hot Water Dispenser, 1.7 Litres with 3 KW Fast Boil, Pre-set cup fill, with manual “STOP” button, Energy-efficient use, Gloss Black [VKT124]

Product Information

Cord storage and non-slip feet will help keep your HotCup tidy when in storage and ensure that there will not be any slip mishaps during use. Included is a fuss-free limescale filter and can help ensure your drinks are not contaminated by flakes of limescale. 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. If you have trouble understanding this, consider that water is a powerful heat sink. This means it soaks up all that heat produced by the heating element. Without the water, there’s nothing to stop the heating element from going full power and overheating.

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.

I’ve lived with the Breville HotCup for a while now and it’s undoubtedly a handy edition for any kitchen or home office workspace. Admittedly, the servings are a little on the miserly side. For me, that’s one of the weaknesses of this particular model because I tend to use my YumAsia instant hot water kettle for washing up purposes. 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.

Filling the unit is done from the top via a lift up opening, which is reassuringly quite large to reduce the chance of spillages. Meanwhile, in front of that is a knob that can be twisted to specify the amount of hot water you want dispensed. In front of that is a chunky emergency stop button, in case you’ve just realized that your cup is too small for the amount of water coming out. That’s about it. Granted, the water tank isn’t the biggest at just 1.7 litres, but for occasional cups it’s fine. 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.

Conclusion For a One Cup Kettle

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. 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. Manufacturers have obviously realised that an instant kettle finally gives them a chance to fizz things up a bit. In the main, the models we’ve assembled here come big on bold looks and sizzling styling, as well as being a highly practical solution to the tedium of boiling water.

It’s also worth noting that although our instant hot water dispenser review was created for people looking for instant hot water dispensers for their home, we think that the options we list would also be appropriate for small businesses and could have health-and-safety benefits as compared to standard kettles. Nevertheless, when you need to move it, there’s a sturdy handle built right in. If the obviously solid construction doesn’t give you confidence in the VonShef as a true workhorse, consider the 2-year manufacturer warranty.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. It has to be said that the Emperial Instant Hot Water Dispenser Kettle has a very distinct, industrial-minimalist appearance, which may be out of place in certain kitchens, although the flip side of this fact is, of course, that it will look perfect in others. 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.
