Good piece of kit
I bought this as I’m the only one in the house that enjoys a brew. Makes sense just doing one cup at a time

Hp, 55 - 64
One cup convenience
Bought this for my aged mother as I was concerned about her lifting a full kettle of boiling water so a lot safer for her and it holds a good amount of water, so no need to keep filling up and it does not take long to boil a cup of water.

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.
Breville HotCup VKJ142 works similarly to a kettle in terms of heating water, so limescale can still build up over time—especially in hard water areas. It’s not inherently more resistant to limescale than a kettle because the heating element is still in contact with water.
Hi Oat,
The VKJ142 dispenses water at near-boiling temperature, and does not allow for precise temperature control or measurement. For your baby’s safety, we suggest using a freshly boiled kettle and allowing the water to cool to the appropriate temperature before mixing.
Hi KAZ,
Breville VKJ142 is designed to automatically dispense approximately 250ml of water per activation, which is roughly one standard cup. Once this amount is dispensed, the unit will automatically stop, so there’s no need to manually turn it off after each use.
Hi Muji,
Breville products are designed and developed in the UK and U.S. by our engineers and our development team and manufactured in the People's Republic of China.
Hi Pastel,
The kettle part of the unit weighs 1075g when empty and 2575g when filled to the maximum 1.5L mark. If preferred, you can fill the unit using a separate jug or cup rather than removing it to fill directly from the tap. I hope this helps.
Hi Lyn,
The Breville VKJ142 HotCup Water Dispenser - Black, has a safety cut out so it will not boil if empty.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello Sally. The water inside the heating chamber does reach boiling point during the heating process. However, by the time the water is dispensed, its temperature is typically a few degrees lower, around 95-98°C We hope this helps.
Hi Tea Lover - This is quite common if you have a new hotcup or kettle. Fill it 3/4 with water and boil. Once boiled, add 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda and leave to stand overnight. Discard the water then re-boil a couple of times to remove any bicarbonate soda residue.
