great product.
This is the quickest and easiest way I have ever seen to make a cup of tea, 33 seconds after placing the cup on the stand press the button job done.
Hot Water Dispense
I am slowly attempting a return to “normal” life 3 years after a Brain Tumour operation and have found it very hard to use a kettle and pour hot water safely. The Occupational Therapist recommended a dispenser and so I purchased one. It has proved brilliant and I can now pour a hot cuppa safely and not have to keep relying on others. Really pleased….some may say minor but to me massive.
Quicker than a kettle
Got this for my elderly Mother who was struggling to lift her kettle. The main water reservoir base is quite heavy, so I still have to fill it every so often for her. Otherwise, very useful for my Mother and she is pleased with it.
Wouldn't be withouth this item.
I wouldn’t be without this water heater. I used to fill the kettle and make a brew or a coffee and when it was time to make another brew we would empty the kettle and start again. This heater boils a small amount of water in seconds. I usually put the notch onto a small cup and fill it with whole milk from the frother. The amount of water I have saved is unbelievable.
Fantastic
I got this for my dad who is very frail and has dementia. It is extremely easy to use and he has had no problems adapting to it. The only niggle I have with it is the release catch for the lid which makes filling it up a bit of a faff (but it’s really not that hard). Highly recommend for the elderly and infirm who shouldn’t be messing about with kettles and scalding themselves, this is a great alternative.
Water boile
Got to wash it out alot to get rid of plastic taste, few cups to figure out what cup setting, and it’s great, more than 2 cups or filling tea pot use a kettle.
So pleased with this item I bought it twice.
Already bought elsewhere at higher cost and it does save on energy costs. Bought again at cheaper prize from Amazon as a gift for family friend who lives on her own so she doesn’t keep having to boil her kettle every time she wants to make a cuppa. She loves it.
I had the smaller one, and found it ideal. So when I had to replace it, I used an ordinary kettle for a few weeks and hated it. Loved the Breville one cup so much that I decided to get the larger one as we drink a lot of tea and it meant less refilling. I also liked the fact that with this model you are able to adjust the amount of water dispensed, depending on the size of the cup…genius really!
Very convenient with some caveats
Very convenient as removes measuring/figuring out how much water to add, and incredibly fast. You can get a cuppa in about 20seconds. Useful if getting your own cuppa. If have guests, then the good old kettle would be better as otherwise you’d be pressing the button for each cup! Also slight annoyance you have to take the entire dispenser out to refill with water.you’d think they’d design it with a removable water tank like coffee machines.
Boils just the right amount of water for a hot drink
I’ve been using this one-cup kettle all the time since I purchased it, and I like how the amount of water it dispenses is adjustable for different cup sizes. Very easy to use single button operation, and you can stop the dispenser with a single push of the button if you’ve accidentally set it to dispense more water for the size of cup.
I would have perhaps liked a larger water container, but then it would probably be too heavy to handle when it’s full for some owners.
Well it definitely does what it says on the tin. Whilst it coughs and splutters when boiling, it does so at an impressively fast rate. Just 60 seconds to bring to boil. It is well made and feels very durable. It also ensures no over spilling of liquid which is perfect for vision impaired use. It also removes the need to lift over the top of a cup or mug to pour. In that respect it meets the need it was purchased for.
The downsides? – Well the biggest issue is the amount of water dispensed. Even on the maximum setting it doesn’t fill our mugs (which aren’t particularly large) and there is no easy way to simply add a little more boiling water to the drink. The kettle also seems to require a lot of refilling. I realise that any kettle will empty at the same rate, but somehow I seem to be forever refilling this one. And that leads me to my last point. The opening for refilling isn’t exactly large and is of an awkward shape. The device is also quite heavy. This may not be an issue for most people, but I purchased this to help my wife who is struggling with her eyesight at the moment. Whilst it allows her to safely pour herself a drink without me being around, once it empties she cannot refill it on her own.
Overall then, a mixed opinion. On reflection I’d say I was happy with the purchase but with the above reservations.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good boiling machine
Nice looking machine. Could do with high dosage of water, as we have big mugs it does not fill them so have to boil twice to get what we want.
5.0 out of 5 stars Should have bought this before now
Bought this for my elderly mum who has poor strength in her arms and handsso much easier and safer for her to use. Only two very small down falls, but which my mum has adapted to.the button to release the lid is a the back and is a little stiff and secondly when rising pasta or needing more the a cup of hot water you have to press the start again but as I have said these are no biggies. I would definitely recommend this product so quick and easy
5.0 out of 5 stars One cup
I’ve had one of these for 4 years, used continually, so got this for my sons birthday. Quiet, quick and only boils what you need depending on cup size. Saves on electricity and water, so a great all round product.
4.0 out of 5 stars Instant hot water for tea or coffee
i use a jug to fill it.
I have problems using my hands due to arthritis. This is great as it noly needs filling once a day with the lsrge water capacity.
Only downside it does splatter abit of hot water when dispensing hot water into the cup mainly on the right side
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant produc
I bought this in addition to a standard one I had, I wanted one where you can adjust the amount of water. It is excellent and I am very pleased with this product.
4.0 out of 5 stars Kettle
Good and convenient. The base the cup stands on is a bit loose and easily comes off. Had a similar model before and that’s why I bought a second one after many years of the first one finally breaking down.
4.0 out of 5 stars Much bette
I bought this after finding the lower spec one unsuitable. That one only produced water for a large mug and there was no stop function to stop it overflowing the cup. I have to say that the smallest cup setting on this is still too large for my mother but we are using larger cups for it. She really likes a china tea cup but we’ve gone for a larger cup. This one does have a stop function for smaller amounts of water but I’d prefer that she doesn’t use it because the boiler does splutter a bit and I’d rather the stood back from it. Over all it’s a nice bit of kit tho. It looks good if that matters to you!
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant kettle
This is my second kettle my first lasted me 8 years and totally loved it so re purchased the exact same one would I recommend definitely you will not be disappointed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Stylish and quick & easy to use
Good sized tank, easy to fill. It’s a little trial and error working out which position to set the knob to for the right amount of water you’re looking for (tip: start with the lower setting and work upwards).
Once you’ve worked out the perfect amount, it’s great to be able to place your cup/bowl/jug, press the button and crack on with whatever else you’re doing knowing it will pour itself when it’s ready. It’s also very quick at heating the water.
Perfect for a busy bee
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Device
I love this replacement for my kettle. I live alone so only make one cup at a time but it boils so quickly that several cups would not be a problem. It holds enough for four or five mugs before needing refilled. I do this in situ with a glass despite the safety suggestions saying not to. I m very pleased I bought this.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great hot water dispense
Previously had a smaller version of this water heater and had to refil it couple times a day and it didn’t have a cup size choice . This one is perfect for me , holds more water ( 2L) and has a handy stop flow button and with the choice of cup sizes it’s great for me. And got it on offer that made it even better. Would recommend this water heater if you looking to buy one.
So easy to use when hands don’t work so well. June 2016 I purchased this kettle as a similar price as it is today. After a couple of years the lid got cranky, after 4 years the lights got dodgy and today it decided to repeat boil unless manually turned off. Even though still working, the manual stop is ok, but I can get distracted. I’m so glad I purchased my second one in 2021 and now using it with great happiness, while I come here to give my experience of its reliability, longevity and amazing value for money. And to purchase number 3 to keep in a safe place until it’s needed. 2030 at a guess
I had previously purchased the standard version which worked for 5 years. That wasn’t bad but I always found it didn’t boil much water at a time & so my standard beaker plus a drop of milk was never a full cup. so I decided to go for the more expensive variable water dispenser hoping for more of a full cup. I have tor say, I am quite disappointed.
The dial on ‘large’ cup just about fills a beaker which is good. The dial on ‘small’ cup gives you about half a beaker full, so not a lot of use. So I still need to press it twice to fill my tea pot for two up! Just as I did with the less expensive basic version. The difference is hardly anything so the only advantage of this more expensive kettle is that the ‘tank’ is larger. But the carers have to fill that as it’s too heavy for me to do. I suppose the moral is: I should’ve just put up with buying the same kettle as before. I’ll see how long this one lasts.
5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, efficient and actually works
Enjoying the simple press of a button and volume select dial, perfect for working from home without spending a fortune on boiling too much water, and the boiling water really is boiling.
Before buying this I bought one for several times the price from German company Caso, it had lovely touchscreen display, select temperature, volume in ml looked great, just didn’t really work. From the start we had to keep a cup under it when not in use as it spat out hot water after it had “finished”. Plus the 100C setting was never really near boiling and you needed to turn off the child safety every time by holding down a button (no option to disable that). Managed to stick with it for nearly 2 years but glad its gone, at times we do like 50C water to drink, but I’m fine with just adding some cold afterwards.
I really like this. Very easy to use. Except for the button to open lid to fill is at the back and can be a bit awkward. Economical. Love that you fill it up but only boil amount required so less trips to the tap if you only want a cuppa. Making more than one drink at a time is not a chore like I thought it might be, by the time you’ve stirred/removed teabag/added milk to the first, the second one is ready to do the same!
Kept the kettle incase I needed a larger amount of water, but haven’t had to use it yet, just do 2 lots with this on max setting, it’s just as quick.
Bit noisy but not for long, the “slurp” sound at the end of the pouring still makes me jump sometimes . Keep your hands away while it’s pouring as it does splash towards the end of the cycle. Which means you get water marks on the shiny stainless steel behind the cup. (Small rant here….why do they make kitchen things with this? It marks so easily!).
Efficie
I like the adjustable cup size function as my wife likes baby tea!
Great kettle
Love it don’t have t lift t make t with me having bad hands quick boiler highly recommended
Really good
Very pleased,easy to use, I take a jug to it to fill it ,it’s safer to use than a kettle
Excelle
So easy to use, only boils what you want and measures cups with ease
Good produc
I like that I cAn make just one drink at a time, better than heating up water in a kettle when it isn’t all going to be used.
Convenient and fas
Perfec
Saves boiling kettle for one cup perfect measures of water just love i
Saves money
Great product that’s saves money due to only boiling enough water for one cup.
Fantastic
Bought to keep energy usage down. Fantastic and easy to use, although if you want hot water to cook with or for a flask we are still using a kettle.
It’s easy and quick
Love this item, boils just the right amount for the perfect cuppa.
Could not be without now
Cannot hold a kettle but with this I just open the lid and with a plastic jug I fill it and this is enough for 5 average sized mugs and no lifting, brillia
Breville water boile
Great energy saver with 9 different settings for cups/flasks etc. Bit noisy when boiling but no worse than a Barista coffee machine.
Brilliant!! A must have 👍👍
Brilliant superb a must have for the home and office
It saves on electricity
It’s so easy to use think it’s brilliant. I even bought my daughter one
Breville HotCup Hot Wate
Excellent only boils one cup of hot water money save
Brilliant machine
Purchased this fir the kitchen as I was so pleased with the smaller one I have in my office. This is brilliant really quick and being able to change the amount dispensed and to stop the flow are great. Highly recommend
Kettle
I am happy with the kettle, its easy to press it on, off and measure high or low of the water in the mugs, its easy and clean. I love it.. its really good useful..
Energy saving and ease of use.
Bought this to replace a standard kettle, a great substitute, ease of use.
All good
Grate device cheaper than boiling whole kettle, nice to be able to alter amount of wate
Superb piece of kit.
For a quick brew and efficient only heating 1 cup of water at a time. Not had the onecup for long but it seems to be sturdy and should last a long time.
Adjustable level of water.
I brought this product so my young daughter could make tea for herself without me worrying about her using a kettle.
Awesome!
This product definitely saves energy and water! Hubby hadn’t realised how much unnecessary water, and therefore energy, he’d been using just to make a cuppa, until we got this. The water seems cleaner, giving a fresher taste to our drinks, but the best bit is the speed! You could be mistaken for thinking your tea makes itself, because it knows you’re coming home from work! Would highly recommend!
grea
good and so nice just boiling enough water for one cup
Brilliant for the two of us
We bought this as there are only 2 of us and found we were boiling a kettle of water containing usually too much water so not very energy efficient. The Breville is great, it boils the exact amount you need whether it be a cup or a mug and boils so quickly.
Brilliant for the days I’m working from home, by the time I get the milk from the fridge the water is boiled. I would highly recommend this product.
Excellent.
Use it regularly and it’s never let me down.
Works really well.
Great tea make
Very easy to use, boils just the right amount of water for your mug. It can easily be adjusted from a cup to a large mug.
It is a lot safer to use for me as I have mobility problems, no more lifting a heavy kettle. Just filling the morning and I have enough water to last all day. And it boils in less than a minute
I would highly recommend this item.
Amazing
I love this kettle, I find myself making a brew that I don’t even want and offering to make one for other people just so I can use the machine I wish I’d bought one sooner.
Does what it is supposed to do.
Once you work out the settings for your mugs, coffee pots etc it’s great. Small tea cups to a 2 person cafetiere. It’s fast and efficient.
Works well
Had the smaller water dispenser for a while when it gave up the ghost we tried this one .It is nice to have the choice of cup sizes also the bigger tank can’t think of any negatives, very pleased with the produc
It’s a kettle, just boils the right amount dependent on the control setting.
Not so good for large volumes of boiling water but energy efficient and say goodbye to having to keep boiling the kettle when you forget to pour into cup as it boils straight into cup
Excellent - and so convenient to make a single cuppa
3rd one of these I have bought for self and family. Really convenient to make a mug or two without boiling excess wate
Fantastic purchase!
One of the best things Ive ever bought for the kitchen, super convenient and easy to use. Much cheaper to run than a kettle, perfect for people who drink lots of tea!
Excellent for elderly
Excellent gift for my elderly parents. They struggled to lift a kettle and do this water dispenser is a great alternative.
They drink lots of tea and find the quick dispense of water and changeable volume an excellent feature.
You can fill in situ with a jug, as it’s quite heavy to lift full, Or remove from base and fill.
Great item, I was so impressed, I’ve got one for myself now!
Great energy save
I purchased one for my household to make things safer and more energy efficient. Loved it so purchased another for my elderly mother who has been using it for a couple of weeks now. Saves on electricity, easy to use, beats lifting a heavy kettle.
Don’t always believe what you read…
I never used to read reviews, sometimes they are more unhelpful than helpful
I just love this product easy to use.. nice to look at the water cuts off at the cup size you have chosen, brilliant for giving quick water access to fill a baby’s bottle.. piping hot water very impressed and like I said the review doesn’t always do justice and people expect different things does exactly what it says will even recommend to others A++++++ item
Ability to alter amount of water brillia
This is great – I have had a couple of other instant water boilers but this one is by far the best particularly for the ability to adjust the amount of water dispensed so it you want a cup of water or a large mug you can regulate it accordingly
Best one cup Kettle
Had for nearly a year. Easy to use, adjust cup measure and refill. Quick boil (15 seconds).
Recommend white vinegar flush every 6 months if water is heavy in chalk or limescale.
Good buy. Lights up neon blue when in use.
One of the best buys we have had
Just the job for the elderly and disabled
I like this because it is easier for me to use as I am elderly and find it difficult to pick up a kettle and fill it. I can make one cup of coffee in seconds just filling the unit with enough water with a small jug.
Good hot water dispense
Bought this to replace my old one which I had for several years. This one is really good for being able to get various cup sizes and the water is hot, unlike others, I have tried in the past. The beauty of a machine like this is that you don’t have to wait for a kettle to boil plus you are only heating the right amount of water. Really good product and have already recommended it to others in the family.
Upgrade
I had the hot cup which is the smaller version, I’ve had it for a few years and it was fine for my China mugs but not the other ones as only three quarter filled them. This version has a variable mug size dial. Much better for people who prefer a big chunk mug and I can still dial down for my China one. Happy lady
Quick and easy to make hot drinks.
Love this hot water dispenser as it only boils the water for the cup you are using. Also like the way you can alter the size of the cup. Mainly use it for making green tea. Wouldn’t be without it.
What an energy saver. A must for a small household or anyone living alone
This hot cup dispenser was recommended to me and I am delighted with the purchase.
How many times do you boil a full kettle and walk away only to return and reboil the kettle again.
A very speedy and energy efficient piece of equipment for everyone living alone or small households.
Does exactly what is describe.
I like the style and is a good size. Easy to full and clean and is great for different size cups/mugs. Love it.
Economical alternative to a kettle
Having had two of the earlier one cups and tried a couple of the later models this particular model is by far the best up to date so easy to fill especially if your getting on in years all you need is a 500 mls jug the top opening is really wide and allows easy filling of fresh water and once you have the preset water delivery amount for your chosen mug or cup it’s ready to go
Good alternative to a kettle
I think this is really good, the ability to only boil one cup at a time, and select how much water is great and saves electricity. Only thing I would add for future models would be having a free flow option like a kettle of those times you need more than one cup.
Boils 250mls exact and really fas
Had cancer and got pains in my hands so got this and it pours exactly 250mls which has been really helpful when baking. Also my family prefer to use it than our kettle since it boils water faster. And it’s great that you can turn it on and it will pour the water itself meaning you can leave you mug under it, turn it on and leave it. Just make sure you don’t forget to leave a mug under it, although there is a tray that will collect the water if you do.
The only potential downside is it’s extremely loud but that’s not a problem with me.
A real boom to senior citizens
Seniors win with this Hot water dispenser (a kettle really) on two accounts. (1) you can top up the dispenser with a small jug and thus save lifting a full kettle – both from the tap and when poring into a tea cup etc. (2) secondly, you save power, you can set the cup size for dispensing and the machine only bouils the amount you require. Unlike a kettle that boils its full contents.
This is the best purchase I have made this year to help in the kitchen. It has many advantages for everyday use – for coffee, soups, sauce mixes etc.
I am very happy.
I am very happy with this kettle A bit awkward if you want to make a pot of tea or coffee but for individual cups it’s perfect.
Quick Boiling
The Breville is very quick at boiling a cup of water, it has various settings to allow for the correct amount of water to be dispensed, it looks good. I would when you purchase, fill it to maximum and boil out the water twice before using for a cup of tea, to take away the plastic aftertaste. It would not be noticeable with coffee. Overall very happy with the product.
EXCELLENT CUPPA AND SO QUICK
does a really good job, quicker than a ‘teasmaid’ almost a third cheaper, and without being woken 20 mins beforehand with the noise the ‘teasmaid’ kettle makes whilst it boils the water.
This Breville is great, boils a mug of water in about 30 seconds.
I set it up before going to bed, put a teabag and sweeteners in my mug put it directly under the spout on its own draining stand. Press the button and it lights up blue.
I just add milk when it’s done.
I know it only makes 1 cup/mug (you dial which size you want) but I’m on my own so thats fine, but when it boils so quickly its not a problem to put another cup under the spout and repeat the process
Would I buy it again, ? in a heart beat.
Not ideal for xxl mugs
UPDATE
This has been in use for a week and has already stopped dispensing accurate quantities. Two days ago my mug took a max fill and a small fill, yesterday the max fill did the same job. This makes it untrustworthy for measure specific use like pot noodles and cup size.
This is essentially a kettle that is hands free dispensing.
As you can see from the pictures the space beneath the dispensing point is large enough to take a 5.5″/14cm high jug.
The temperature in the jug read at 89C. So it’ll be a few degrees higher at dispensing point. Plenty hot enough for tea, coffee and pot noodles.
The smallest amount dispensed is approx 6 fl oz/175ml. The largest is 10fl oz/300 ml. I tried the double shot in my large mug which was a bit too much. Twice on the mid setting was perfect though,making the middle setting 7.5 fl oz/200 ml each time.
I timed the largest at 42 seconds from pressing start to dispensing start.
The splutter is minimal but there is some …as you’d expect with scalding water.
It is a useful addition to my kitchen, especially for times when my wrists are painful but I will probably keep a kettle for cooking purposes. If you use a lot of boiling water for topping up saucepans and the like then this is not for you.

Better then expected
Great bit of kit, best thing is putting your cup in place, press the button and leave it to do its thing!!!! It will only poor for a lager cup at its max so when filling a large jug you have to press it again but this isn’t a problem. Nice to know you’re not boiling more water then is necessary, highly recommend.
I wouldn't be without i
These kettles are great. The adjustment means you can easily cope with different size mugs and cups and one shot will fill a standard mug.
Quick boiling and whilst noisy for the instant they are doing their thing they are much quicker than any kettle.
Economic and good for the environment, I never waste water. Great for the office because we fill it and a couple of jugs for topping up during the day and can have tea and coffee easily.
This is my third one of these (different locations), I love them
Fast Boil
Having seen my daughter’s Breville, I chose this to replace an existing, but failing water boiler. I ant disappointed. It boils quickly and provides a consistent amount of boiling water very quickly. It takes a little while to get the right amount, as the adjustments are sometimes quite small. A second cup is often slightly less full. Importantly, if you get too much water, the stop button is instantaneous. The only criticism is the water container is quite heavy which is a problem if you have weak wrists. I would certainly recommend i
Easy to use
My daughter loves it. Doesn’t start tasting metallic after a couple of weeks use like some other brands do.
Value for money.
I luv these water dispensers had one for years, it’s just given up the ghost. This is the only one with variable amount of water dispense, but it’s not as good as my old one (149). This one is less than 60 so great value for money.
Second one to replace 5 year old versio
Bought my original one in 2017. The opening mechanism in the lid finally died in Jan2022. Given that that one survived a whole family (including a chain tea drinker) through working from home for nearly 2 years in a hard water area – we had no hesitation ordering a replacement. New one is just as good as the old one – although I’d forgotten about the blue light as that had long since died on the old one!
We use a jug to fill, rather than lifting the unit.
It’s a bit of a pain if your making more than 2 cups of tea – as you need to make them all individually but I will take that over the alternative.
Good bit of ki
Easy and quick, saves money, only boils what you need. The max setting could produce a bit more, for big mugs
Easy to use, but will require boiling twice on full setting for a man size mug. It will fill to the brim for a normal size mug, so adjust as needed. No complaints yet, but I’ve added extra cover for any future problems that may arise. Will boil 350ml on the highest setting.
