Breville One Cup VKJ142 water dispenser


Rating: 4/5

Review:
A very useful product

This is a very good product in many ways. It does exactly what it claims: you press the button and it dispenses what for me is almost exactly the right amount of boiling water into a mug or cup. It fills like a kettle and once full dispenses five cups. It is quick, efficient and extremely simple to use, and only boils the water needed for a single cup.

Two things I wasn't so keen on:
1. It is larger than I expected. I thought it would be a compact device as it only dispenses one cup at a time. In fact it is the size of a large kettle. This may not bother you at all, but you may like to know in advance.
2. Even though I followed instructions and ran it five times before using it to make tea, the first cups were undrinkable because they tasted very strongly of plastic. Even after another 25 runs-through the taint was still noticeable. It is now very faint and eventually will probably vanish completely, but again - you might like to be warned.

That said, this will be a very useful product if you are in a household where a lot of individual hot drinks get made, if you have an office or if you just like the convenience of pressing a button and having a cup of coffee made for you 30 seconds later. Recommended.
