Hotcup Hot Water Dispenser 1.7 Litres

Mum is safer making her tea; easy to use & clean; better for bills & planet

There are two things to bear in mind if you’re deciding if this is the hot water dispenser for you. First, this model dispenses 250 ml of boiling water each time; do ensure your mugs are big enough to take the full volume dispensed, plus a little space on top to allow for milk and to limit spillages. If you are especially committed to more delicate teacups /smaller coffee cups, you should consider a model which allows you to vary the volume dispensed, and maybe also allows you to vary the temperature for each cup (Breville and its competitors produce such models and the price for them is obvio

Great single cup maker, replaced kettle entirely, a few design issues so loses one star

2> When filling it can leak. There's a little clip that holds the lid shut (it releases the lid when a button is pressed) but the clip is directly in line with where you fill the water - if the water hits the clips (and it does because it's central) then water runs into the clip, and out the back of the kettle. At first, I thought it was leaking from the reservoir, but it turns out it just leaks via the clip/button.

Great bit of kit

This is very easy to use and makes 4-5 decent size cuppas. There is no drink volume switch, allowing you to make different size drinks but the simplicity more than makes up for this. My mugs are 350ml and this dispenses the perfect amount of water for them, allowing for the addition of milk, etc.

Very pleased

Very pleased with this. It really gets the water upto boiling temperature and it's much quicker than I was expecting. For me it produces a mugful without supervision and safely as you aren't pouring from a boiling kettle

No more heavy kettles!

I purchased this because arthritis in my hand was making lifting a heavy kettle unsafe and difficult. The HotCup is ideal for making a cup of coffee or tea and even for making instant gravy! No heavy lifting and piping hot water in a matter of seconds. I purchased one for our son who lives alone and he is absolutely delighted with it.

Excellent Machine!!

It's just such a relief to be able to make a hot drink without having to lift a heavy kettle - some days my hands don't work properly- so having the ability to still get caffeinated on a day when my joints are screaming, is a real blessing.

Worth every penny!!!

I live in a very hard water area, and another concern by not being able to see the element, but included in the instructions they tell you how to descale etc. So I will face this when it happens, so that's it I am 100% for this item and once you have sorted out your mug size I am sure you will be as happy as I am with it. And it is bound to save on fuel costsas it all rises along with this this robbing standing charge all suppliers will be introducing by Sept. I believe.

Verified Customer

Easy to fill and switch on and dispenses straight into my tea mug.

Excellent delivery as I was out at the time. 5* to delivery man as it was outside my flat door despite the lift being out of order.
