The Breville Hot Cup... I'd wanted 1 of these for AGES! Got it home, all excited, but... it took what seemed ages to boil, then when dispensing water it's INCREDIBLY noisy, it could be heard from garden! I then went on to research the product, came across this site, and see that everyone is saying the same about the noise, so I guess mine is not faulty. Ignore what everyone is saying about dispensing too much, we have a cupboard full of mugs here, and it is quite literally a standard mug size of boiling water, with enough room for milk! I'm going to keep it, as £20 knocked off it from S'burys. From what I read, the competitor's one has issues with the water temperature.

I was a bit unsure as to whether to order this breville hot cup because so many previous reviews all seemed to make the same comment that 250ml of hot water is too much for a tea cup. I have measured our cups and mugs and they are all in the range of 280-350. Because of this I decided to go ahead and buy the breville rather than the Tefal which seems to have a temp issue. I am very pleased we got this item it does exactly what we require, the only complaint is the noise during the dispensing of the hot water, it is quite loud but that is a small price to pay for the convenience and cost saving by not boiling any more water than is really required.

Much as i love the Breville Hot Cup, i have to agree with others it is not so good for people who want milk in their tea and coffee, i have to have a jug at the side of it to catch the water thats not needed, if only it was like the tefal i had when i could stop it when i had enough water

love the look and the idea of Breville Hot Cup, but only good for people who dont take milk. would be great if it did 220 mils of water instead of 250 or even have a button you could press to stop the water, we have to have a jug at the side of it at all times for people to catch the water not needed heedless to say work top constantly wet through, dont buy one unless you use pint pots for your tea/coffee!

We get half a pint of hot water from our Breville Hot Cup ,no spillls or over fills. Very easy to use press the button a hot cup of water in 37 seconds,perfect for tea . well recomended

Very pleased with the Breville Hot Cup at first one month ago but now has to be pressed on up to six times before it delivers the water, taking it back to Currys tomorrow.

Have just bought this after my existing quick cup from T***L only started producing luke warm water. The Breville hot cup is fantastic, it looks good especially when working as it glows a blue colour and at last the water is boiling hot so no more luke warm cups of tea and it's fast and energy efficient.

Breville Hot Cup is brilliant and makes a lovely hot cup of tea, (unlike it's competitor, which is really designed for coffee apparently). I would have given it 10/10 had it not been for the fundamental flaw of having to boil 250ml. Sorry I don't mean to sound like a peaseant but 250ml leaves no room for the milk, so you dribble away the extra bit - very ironic.
If you're going to buy one of these "one cup" water heaters though go for this one :o)

Breville Hot Cup is a great little kettle which looks good in my kitchen. Much better than the other one I had from another brand which never got very hot. Only bad point is Fixed 250 mil quantity.

It great when your in a hurry and its very safe. I have two young children and I don't have to worry about them knocking me or any boiling water splashing on them from an ordinary kettle. It looks very stylish on the worktop and looks even better when the light is on The only gripe is that the quantity of hot water it delivers cannot be altered but that is not a major problem as you just buy larger mugs!
Before buying this product I like to research into what people think of the product. I have read many mixed reviews about the product and was not sure whether to buy it or not. I decided to take the plunge and just buy it and I am sooo glad I did as I love it.
