Awesome Bit Of Kit.
I bought this Hot Cup just over a week ago on the advice of my mother who has had one for a while and I wasn't disappointed, it has transformed my tea making experience.Due to declining health my hands are now shaky so using a kettle has become dangerous , now I have no such issues , just put ap tea bags in the cup, place on the drip tray and press a button and like magic the cup fills up with hot water.Easy to refill , looks great on my work top , I love this awesome bit of kit and is worth every penny I paid for it.

Hi Ian! You can adjust the dispense amount by using the unit’s adjustable dispense button. Press and hold the button until the machine enters its adjustment mode, then change the amount to your preferred level. Once you’ve set it, press the button again to confirm the new dispense volume. If you have any other questions, please contact us via website: https://www.breville.co.uk... or via phone 0800 028 7154. We are open Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm
Reduced water dispensing can often be linked to limescale buildup, especially in hard water areas. Even after descaling, some deposits can remain in internal components and affect performance. Please try the following steps:
Descale thoroughly using a suitable descaling solution, following the instructions in the user manual. Repeat if necessary, as stubborn limescale may require multiple treatments. Please also check the water outlet pipe position inside the kettle to ensure it’s correctly aligned and not obstructed.
If the issue persists after these steps, we recommend contacting Breville Customer Service for further troubleshooting and to verify warranty coverage, as your kettle may require replacement.
Hi,
I fill mine from a jug as I couldnt safely carry the hotcup full of water. After a while you can guess how much water you need to put it.
Hello Dave,
The Breville VKJ318 kettle can be filled either by taking it to the tap or by using a jug to pour water in—whichever is most convenient for you. Just make sure not to exceed the maximum fill line indicated inside the kettle for safety and optimal performance.
Hi, the space under the VKJ318 nozzle is approximately 16 cm once the removable tray is taken out, so it really just depends on the size of the teapot.
Hi, this unit is designed specifically for cups, so a standard single cafetiere may not fit properly.
Hi Anng, Yes, even though the Breville VKJ318 has a limescale filter, it still needs to be descaled—ideally every 2–3 months, depending on how often you use it and your local water hardness. This helps keep it working efficiently.
Hi Kaz - Breville VKJ318 HotCup Water Dispenser comes with permanent limescale filter.
Hi, you can clean the spout using a soft cloth and a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water. You can also descale the appliance according to the manual. For more details, please visit the manufacturer's website.
You would have to push the button for each tea individually but it takes alot less time to boil than the kettle would. Still a bit of a faff to make a big round of brews but 1 or 2 is super quick.
Hi Black cat,
The Breville VKJ318 HotCup Water Dispenser has a 2-liter capacity, which is enough to make multiple cups of tea without needing to refill and reboil for each cup.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hi Sessair, the measurement from the bottom of the nozzle is 12cm but you can also get more room by removing the drip tray which is magnetic and the space is then 14cm.
