Very good as not boiling water in a kettle
Very happy with it as being an older person with weak hands there is no lifting, so quick to heat up and dispense enough for one cup at a time , wish I had brought it long ago, I love it

Great features nice looking one cup dispenser
Brought due to needing a new kettle, had before so decided to get one of these. Great convenient one cup at a time. Easy to use, fill & push the button. Sames lifting kettles would recommend.

A great feature to the kitchen
This product is brilliant. It's efficient, convenient and time saving. Literally it gives me the perfect cup of hot water.

Very safe way to encourage independence
Bought this for a waiting room as much safer than a kettle for clients with poor hand coordination or mobility. Works very well, dispenses a good cup full of water and nice clear button to press for the water. Easy to refill using a jug (or a tap but we use a jug).

Great appliance
So happy with this product. Ideal when you want a quick cup of tea. It boils so quickly and just warms what you need, so efficient too. It holds a good amount so you can just make one cup after the other if required.

Weemaw, 65 or over
Superb addition to my kitchen.
This replaced the one that I wrecked by switching on when empty. It had ben in frequent daily use for over 9 years. Perfect when you live alone and just want boiling water for one brew. So quick, as well. My hero for over 9 years.

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.
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.
