FAQs
How quickly does it dispense hot water?
Thanks to its instant brew technology, it dispenses hot water in just seconds, significantly faster than a traditional kettle.
Can I get boiling water (100°C) from this dispenser?
The maximum selectable temperature is 95°C, which is ideal for most hot beverages like coffee and tea, but it does not reach a full 100°C boil.
What is the maximum capacity of the water tank?
The removable water tank has a maximum capacity of 2 liters.
How often should I clean or descale the dispenser?
The water tank should be cleaned weekly. Descaling is recommended every 1-3 months, depending on your water hardness and usage frequency.
Is it safe to use different cup sizes?
Yes, the dispenser features four adjustable cup height settings to safely accommodate a wide range of cup and mug sizes, minimizing splashes.
Does it save energy compared to a kettle?
By heating only the exact amount of water you need, it can be more energy-efficient than a kettle that often heats a larger volume than required.
Troubleshooting
Water is not dispensing or flowing slowly.
Check if the water tank is correctly inserted and filled. Ensure no blockages are in the spout or filter. Run a descaling cycle if limescale buildup is suspected.
Dispensed water is not hot enough.
Verify the correct temperature setting has been selected (e.g., 95°C for very hot water). Ensure the water tank is filled with cold water, not warm water.
Appliance is leaking.
Check if the water tank is properly seated and sealed. Ensure the drip tray is not overflowing. Avoid overfilling the water tank above the `MAX` line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack and Place: Remove all packaging materials. Place the dispenser on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface near a power outlet.
- Clean the Tank: Before first use, wash the removable 2-liter water tank and lid with warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly.
- Fill the Tank: Fill the water tank with fresh, cold tap water up to the `MAX` line.
- Initial Rinse Cycle (Priming): It's recommended to run 1-2 full cycles of hot water without a cup to clean the internal components. Dispense 500ml at 95°C twice. Discard this water.
Compatibility:
- Cup Sizes: The dispenser features four adjustable cup height settings, accommodating everything from small espresso cups to tall mugs. Ensure your cup fits comfortably beneath the spout before dispensing.
- Water Type: Use only fresh, cold tap water. Filtered water can reduce mineral buildup and extend the appliance's life.
Care:
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean the removable drip tray regularly.
- Water Tank Cleaning: The removable water tank should be cleaned weekly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Descaling: Hard water can lead to limescale buildup. Descale your dispenser every 1-3 months, or more often in hard water areas, using a descaling solution suitable for kitchen appliances. Follow the descaling product's instructions, then run several rinse cycles with fresh water.
- Storage: If storing for an extended period, empty the water tank and ensure the appliance is dry.
