OK, so I had the Tefal Quick cup when it first came out and it was good, but the water didn't really stay hot for long.
Then along comes the Breville Hot Cup and everything changes.
The Breville Hot Cup is quite a compact piece of kitchen kit, taking up no more space than my old kettle. The Hot Cup has a detachable drip tray (excellent for me because I have tall cups), a removal tank (with handle on the back for easy holding)and a large opening in top when you open the lid (but for some reason they have put other parts of the tank in there so you can get splash back if you fill it too quickly), also meant to say you get a separate base which is the size of my kettles old base unit.
Set up was a doddle. The only thing you have to put together is the tank onto the base and then the drip dray on the base if you are going to use it.
I filled the Hot Cup with water and set it to the smallest cup size with the easy to use revolving cup sizer, not wanting it to spill over. As soon as you press the boil button (the black button on the picture and when you do the tank lights up Breville Blue, you hear the traditional sound of a kettle boiling, and then seconds after that the water emerges steaming hot. It also has a stop button so you can press that if it looks as if the cup is going to overflow. It took 22 seconds from pressing the button to water appearing then even on the largest cup size the whole thing was over in 30 seconds.
Now having used the Quick Cup in the past I was a bit doubtful over the water temperature, so after using the machine for a few times (to get rid of the new smell and anything trapped inside) I went to smell the water it had just dispensed. I can tell you that I nearly dropped the cup because the steam was so hot it nearly burnt my nose. I can safely say that the water comes out of the Hot Cup absolutely boiling.
The only thing that worried me was the loud hiss it gave after it had dispensed the water but I will get used to that. And after you have used it the tank does stay hot for a while, so you do have to watch where you put your hands, but then again you wouldn't want to cuddle a full kettle after it has boiled.
I think the next test will be to dispense the water and see how long it takes to cool (update - it was about half an hour it was lukewarm but still drinkable).
I can honestly say, if you want a very quick boiling drink then this is the machine for you. I would very highly recommend it.
