As the colder weather approaches, there’s nothing quite like a warm cup of tea or coffee to keep you warm from the inside out.
However, when you only need one mug, boiling the kettle can be somewhat wasteful in terms of energy. One solution shoppers are turning to is the Hot Water Dispenser by Breville that you can bag for 33 percent less on Amazon right now.
Perfect for that mid-day tea break, this gadget can dispense a 250ml cup of boiling water in as little as ’30 seconds’ – making it faster and simpler than boiling a full kettle. Right now, it can be bought for £32, down from £47.99, in a limited time deal.
The Breville machine has a capacity of up to 1.5L, which is enough for about 5-7 cups, making it ideal for making coffee, tea, hot chocolate, noodles and more almost instantly. It’s simple to use, as all you need to do is simply fill the tank with water and press the button on the top.
The 360-degree base design allows for both left and right-hand use. Claiming to be 60 percent cheaper than using a kettle, the sleek black water dispenser has been illuminated with a blue water-window to see how much you have left, reports Yorkshire Live.
Boasting an incredible 4.4 rating on Amazon, the Breville Hot Water Dispenser has been praised in reviews by users who say it is “money saving” and has them abandoning their traditional kettles.
One customer enthused: “So good! Nearly all of my family have now switched to this kettle. Money saving and super fast.”
Another customer admitted they couldn’t imagine returning to a regular kettle after experiencing the ‘convenience’ of this one. It’s also suitability for individuals with visual impairments or conditions like arthritis, as it eliminates the need to pour water from the kettle, reducing spillages and the burden of carrying a full kettle of water.
Someone else gushed: “I was amazed at how quickly it boils the water for one cup of tea or coffee. I particularly like the fact that it dispenses a measured dose of water each time so, once you push the button and put your cup underneath, you can walk away and the hot water pours directly in to the cup.”
They continued: “My reason for buying the Breville Hot Cup is that I am now working at home and I purchased this to prevent me having to boil a full kettle a few times a day to make myself a cuppa. I am sure I must be saving a fortune on my electricity bill!
“I can see that this would be a brilliant item for a person who struggles with the weight of a cumbersome large kettle or has problems with their fingers/hands, say due to arthritis and I think this item is a real winner all around for everyone.”

One satisfied customer beamed: “I am so happy with it that I am thinking of buying one for my mum who is 80 as well as my daughter as I know that they, too, will both love it!”
Another added: “This boils just one cup of water at a time so is super efficient and fast,” but they did note: “It’s not great if you want to make coffee for many people at once as you have to serve one cup at a time, but if it’s just for one or two people it’s great.”
Some users did mention the machine’s noise level during operation – which occurs during the rapid boil as water is dispensed – yet this wasn’t a deal breaker, with a customer commenting: “A bit noisy but so much better and easier to use than my original kettle.”
For those willing to invest a bit more for additional temperature settings and volume options, Argos offers the Caso Design HW660 Hot Cup Water Dispenser for £130. Alternatively, Asda has a comparable model to Breville’s, the Black 1-Cup Hot Water Dispenser for £32.
