Efficient and quick hot water dispenser ideal for single users and elderly with limited mobility. Easy to use, saves energy and space, but limited water volume per dispense and noisy operation noted.

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.

Not good for multiple people
This machine is brilliant if you live alone and only ever want a single cup of tea or coffee at a time. It heats up fast and saves energy if you're just making one drink. However, if you have a household of multiple people, it completely defeats the point. The largest cup setting still only fills one mug, meaning you have to keep pressing the button and boiling it over and over again for a second or third person. Imagine trying to make tea for five people having to stand there and repeat the boiling process five separate times is a huge waste of time and electricity! If you have a busy household or regularly make drinks for more than one person, you're much better off sticking to a traditional kettle.

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.
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.
