Boiling water in an instant
The Breville Hot Cup is designed to boil a cup of water in a matter of seconds, meaning great hot drinks at the touch of a button. It dispenses a 250 millilitre (ml) cup of boiling water--the equivalent of a standard drinking mug--and will dispense up to five cups without refilling--perfect for families or small offices.
The innovative patented technology ensures that water is only dispensed once it has reached boiling point, not simply very warm, but 100 degrees Celsius, making perfect hot drinks every time. In addition, the smooth and continuous flow of water keeps any splashing to a minimum.
By only boiling enough water for the number of cups you need, the Hot Cup is economical and energy efficient. There's no boiled water going to waste and it helps you save pennies on electricity bills.
Easy to use and easy to clean
The Breville Hot Cup features a fast boil 3 kilowatt (kW) concealed element which delivers maximum efficiency and keeps the water tank easy to clean. The 1.5 litre (l) capacity water tank is also easy to fill thanks to its lid release button. Press the button down to open and then fill the water tank with fresh, cold water just like you would a kettle.
The extra-large rear water window helps you accurately fill the water tank and once filled, you can place the it back on the base facing any angle as it's 360 degree (°) rotational. This means you don't have to line it up in a certain place to function.
Illumination on boil gives a blue hue
When activated, the tank illuminates to give a stylish blue glow to your kitchen. This modern design makes the Hot Cup a sophisticated addition to your kitchen worktop. And it continues to look good even when not in use thanks to its gloss black finish with smart stainless steel trim.
Mess is kept to a minimum as the drip tray at the base of the unit collects all stray spillages. It's easily removable for cleaning and is dishwasher safe. Also doing its bit to help keep your kitchen workspace tidy is the cord storage. This coils loose and unused cord under the base of the unit so that it's not swamping your kitchen and taking up unwanted space and the base itself is non- slip so you don't have to worry about it slipping on your work surface.

Then hers must be faulty. We have one of these and have used is several times a day for two years. Its great. These devices NEVER get the water as hot as a kettle (never truly boiling), but its plenty hot enough for tea/coffee. Excellent device - way quicker than a kettle. Does take 30-40 boils before the funny factory flavour/twang to wear off mind, so stick with it!
Yes, as 'happy1' says hers must be faulty, the hot water should come out within a few seconds of pressing the button.
The storage container on the back isn't big enough imo either, it's true the water out the spout isn't as hot as a kettle - it's very good for coffee I believe for obv reasons - not so for tea. If you must have one like this the tefal one (which we asked for on the list....) is much better.
Water comes out hot but not quite boiling, only thing have noticed is the amount that comes out each time varies a bit
The 'tea bag drop 'n walk' is exactly what I do !
Nowt wrong with the second version of the Tefal, water is plenty hot enough for tea / coffee and looks pretty smart too

No she has had several of these and now she has the expensive variable output one, they have a use and some people love them just as some will swear that breadmakers are brilliant along with the breville sandwich maker. Its each to their own. For me after going round to her house and using one, I just don't see the point. Of course that is only my opinion but it is based on using one.
I measured the water at 96c exiting tap ... having said that I've never found that a problem.
