Safe and efficient
Bought on behalf of my elderly mum who was beginning to find lifting a kettle difficult. Heats up very quickly. Good price, This is much safer and easier for her. This model doesn’t adjust the temperature or volume of water but machines with those features are much more expensive. This does exactly what is needed and my mum is very pleased with it.

A really good buy
I am really pleased with this hot water dispenser. At a time when electricity is so expensive this hot water dispenser is proving to be much cheaper to use than a conventional kettle. I can highly recommend it.

I'm really pleased with it, it's ideal for someone like me living on their own wish I'd thought of it years ago.

Better than a simple kettle.
I had one of these but then changed it for a normal kettle. I went back to argos and purchased another one of these because it is just so much better. I can put my cup under it with tea bag in so when I return my cuppa is suitably brewed which I missed with the normal kettle. Very easy to use, i would recommend.

Water kettle
It was a gift grateful to be received

helpful for the older generation
I purchased this as I struggle picking up a kettle due to a snapped tendon (having to use 2 hands to lift) when filling and pouring, Since I have this, it is so much easier for me even though I still have to lift it off of the base to fill, it has been a blessing as it pours without any lifting, hence only have to lift once or twice a day to fill chamber. Recommend if you suffer with arthritis etc

Delivers hot water rapidly
I previously had the one cup that you could dial to differing amounts, however, I’m happy with the smaller version which boils a lot quicker and does not take up so much room on my work top.

Efficient but limited
I bought this to replace an equivalent hot water dispenser from Breville. It produces a cup of boiling water quickly and efficiently but lacks the option to vary the size of the cup/beaker which the previous model did.

Breville HotCup VKJ142 is designed to dispense approximately 250 ml of water per cycle, which is suitable for a standard mug-sized drink.
Breville VKJ142 HotCup does not need to be kept switched on all day. The appliance heats and dispenses one cup of hot water on demand when you press the dispense button.
For safety and energy-saving purposes, we would recommend switching the appliance off when it is not going to be used for an extended period.
Breville VKJ142 hot water dispenser has a 1.5-litre water tank, which allows you to prepare approximately 5–6 cups per full fill, based on a standard dispense of around 250 ml per cup.
The unit heats and dispenses hot water on demand for each serving, making it convenient to prepare multiple drinks.
Hi Mel,
Breville VKJ142 HotCup Water Dispenser - Black 197/9099
The cord is 70 cm long.
Thank you for using Q&A
Breville VKJ142 is designed to dispense boiling water. The water reaches 100°C before it is released into the cup.
Breville VKJ142 dispenses a fixed 250 ml of water per cycle, and this has always been the case for this model.
The clearance between the drip tray and the nozzle on the VKJ142 is approximately 13.5 cm. You can also gain extra space by removing the drip tray, allowing room for taller cups.
To keep your Breville VKJ142 HotCup working efficiently, it’s important to descale it regularly, and even more often if you live in a hard‑water area. Detailed descaling instructions are also available in the User Manual. You can descale your HotCup using either a proprietary descaling product or vinegar/citric acid.
Breville VKJ142 HotCup water dispenser does not have a manual stop function. Once you press the On/Off button, the appliance automatically dispenses a pre‑measured amount of hot water and then switches itself off near the end of the cycle. There is no control to pause or stop the water flow mid‑dispense.
