 Remember the less able! November 21, 2008
C. Rendell (UK)
I have purchased and have personal use of this product. Ideal for anyone who has any difficulties in lifting a Kettle and/or having to stand and wait for the boil. Simple as pushing a button, cup/mug is simply placed on the worktop under the nozzle the pre programmed amount of water is dispensed into the cup/mug and that's it. I fill the water in the tank and can leave the device with full peace of mind knowing the extra safety of this product will take care of things!... I notice few reviews have mentioned the key advantage over a standard kettle.
I am delighted with it!
 Good quick cup to go November 16, 2008

Hi, can't understand all the complaints from the other reviews on this product. I think its fab. I get up at 4.30am every morning and it makes me a perfect cup of tea every time. No hassle and no complaints :-)
Leave it alone, its good! November 16, 2008

Have had mine 2-3 weeks now. Have had no problems making a decent cuppa. In fact with the filter it makes a better cuppa than my kettle used to!
As for the heating side of things it IS hot enough for making tea and coffee as we use both. The only problem is I have changed the filter and de-scaled it as we have very hard water and the red warning light is still flashing!
Cannot understand the debunking. November 10, 2008

So having had the machine for just about two weeks, decided to add my views and debunk some reviews who've condemned it without even having used it.
So far I have made Tea with bags; Tea with leaves; Instant coffee and ground coffee. So my review is confined to these items only. The tea with bags and instant coffee was made with an ordinary decent sized mug and the Loose tea and ground coffee was made in a large mug type cafetaire - available on Amazon. Basically, you add the leaves or ground coffee, fill as usual and after allowing a minute or two to draw, insert a filter which pushes the grounds or tea leaves to the bottom which leaves the beverage free for adding whatever you like. Personally, I enjoy Black ground coffee.
Now to my tests and conclusions: Firstly I found straightaway that in order to "Help" the machine dispense at it's maximum heat; it's a good idea to leave the water adjust to room temperature. Secondly, if you want a cup of really hot water, keep your finger on the button and only release when your cup/mug is adaquetely filled.
So far I've made about 40 cups of tea/coffee and all of them have been hot enough to necessitate allowing to cool before drinking.
I think the problem some people might have is not appreciating that it's a hot water dispenser and although if maximised correctly, will deliver at it's hottest; failure to do so will result in cooler water. For example, using on "Auto" will only deliver enough water for a smallish cup and will not be hot enough for tea leaves.
I also don't keep filling the water container and wait until near empty.
In conclusion; I'm very pleased with it but would also add the rider that perhaps it's more suitable for a single user who only has about 4 mugs of beverage per day, rather than a household which expects treble that.
I can honestly say, it replaces my electric kettle for both convenience and cost but cannot guarantee the same for you.
 2 in 2 months! November 10, 2008
K. Sloper (UK)
The concept of this quick is brilliant and perfect for me as a green tea drinker but in reality it is useless!
I bought my first quick cup 2 months ago, it lasted 4 weeks, Amazon quickly sent me another and that lasted 4 days.
I wont be buying a 3rd!
