With a kettle it's easy to boil more water than you need. A hot water dispenser like the Breville HotCup VKJ318 heats water as it pours, straight into your mug, and lets you choose how much. It's quick, tidy and helps you avoid waste.
At a glance
- Variable dispense with selectable cup sizes
- 2 litre water tank
- 3000 W
- Stop button to halt the flow at any time
- Removable drip tray
- Blue light in boil mode and a large water window

How it works
Fill the 2 litre tank, place your mug under the outlet, choose your cup size and press the button. The HotCup heats and dispenses the amount you chose. Press stop at any time.
Dispenser or kettle?
- Choose a dispenser if you mostly make one or two drinks at a time and want to stop overfilling the kettle.
- Choose a kettle if you often need a lot of boiling water at once, for pasta or a big teapot.
Many households keep both: a dispenser for everyday drinks and a pan for cooking.
Tips
- Use a mug that fits under the outlet and stand back from the hot water and steam.
- Empty and rinse the drip tray regularly.
- Descale as the manual advises, especially in hard water areas.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make a teapot's worth?
Yes, by dispensing several times or choosing a larger setting, as long as your pot fits under the outlet.
Is the water boiling?
Yes. It dispenses boiling water, so take care.
