Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
The Breville VKJ318 Hot Cup with Variable Dispense offers boiling hot water at the touch of a button to deliver delicious hot drinks in an instant. This evolution of the innovative Breville Hot Cup takes boiling water dispensing to a new level, by introducing greater control and a larger capacity to help fulfill your kitchen needs.

Boiling water in an instant
The Breville Hot Cup with Variable Dispense is designed to boil a cup of water in a matter of seconds--40 to be precise, five less than the original Hot Cup--meaning great hot drinks at the touch of a button. The innovative patented technology ensures that water is only dispensed once it has reached boiling point, not simply very warm, but around 92 degrees Celsius (dependent on cup size and whether cup has been warmed), making perfect hot drinks every time. In addition, the smooth and continuous flow of water keeps any splashing to a minimum.

By only boiling enough water for the number of cups you need, the Hot Cup with Variable Dispense is economical and energy efficient. There's no boiled water going to waste and it helps you save pennies on electricity bills.
Supersize or downsize your cup with the Variable Dispense
Like your cup of tea a little on the large side? Or just looking for a small slurp of coffee to get you going in the morning? Unique to this Breville Hot Cup model is the Variable Dispense control. This feature allows you to choose from nine different sizes of cup, so there's no need to half-fill a large cup or overspill with a small one.
Simply select the amount of water you require with the Variable Dispense dial located on the top of the unit. Adjust the dial to your chosen setting. For smaller amounts set the dial towards the tea cup icon--the smallest available, and for larger amounts set towards the mug icon--the largest available. If unsure about which setting to use, use a lower setting until you get a better understanding of the amounts.

Manual Stop helps you take control
Providing you with further control is the Manual Stop function. This enables you to interrupt and halt progress at any stage. If you've decided you don't fancy a cuppa after all, press the button immediately to stop the boil sequence. Or even later in the cycle, press it to stop water that is being dispensed. The Manual Stop means you can pour just as much as you want and don't have to worry about overflowing.
Easy to use and easy to clean
The Breville Hot Cup with Variable Dispense features a fast boil 3 kilowatt (kW) concealed element which delivers maximum efficiency and keeps the water tank easy to clean. The large 2 litre (l) capacity water tank is also easy to fill thanks to its lid release button. Press the button down to open and then fill the water tank with fresh, cold water just like you would a kettle.
The extra-large rear water window helps you accurately fill the water tank and once filled, you can place it back on the base facing any angle as it's 360 degree (°) rotational. This means you don't have to line it up in a certain place to function.
Illumination on boil gives a blue hue
When activated, the tank illuminates to give a stylish blue glow to your kitchen. This modern design makes the Hot Cup with Variable Dispense a sophisticated addition to your kitchen worktop. And it continues to look good even when not in use thanks to its gloss black finish with smart stainless steel trim.
Mess is kept to a minimum as the drip tray at the base of the unit collects all stray spillages. It's easily removable for cleaning and is dishwasher safe. Also doing its bit to help keep your kitchen workspace tidy is the cord storage. This coils loose and unused cord under the base of the unit so that it's not swamping your kitchen and taking up unwanted space and the base itself is non-slip so you don't have to worry about it slipping on your work surface.
