We’re all guilty of boiling our kettle one too many times when we’re making a hot drink.
With petrol and food costs on the rise, not to mention sky high energy bills, the cost of living crisis is making even the simplest of tasks expensive. Many of us are looking for simple hacks to cut back and save energy to avoid big bills as much as possible.
Every little helps in terms of saving money, and for those who love a hot drink, Currys might have the answer. Shoppers of the retailer have been praising a ‘Breville hot water dispenser’ that ‘saves energy’ and is ‘better than using a kettle’.

Described on the Currys website as a hot cup that dispenses ‘exactly the amount of water you need and not a drop more’, when making a quick cuppa, it saves boiling an entire kettle. ‘Saving energy, time and effort’ the cup can dispense up to 250ml of boiling water at the touch of a button.
The ‘modern kettle-replacement’ hot cup can dispense up to five cups before requiring a refill, which is ideal for working from home or in a small office. Currys shoppers were quick to put their five star reviews online, with the product scoring on average an 8.7 out of 10.
One shopper said: “You don't have to return to the kettle to add water to your cup, and then wait again for the tea to brew. I also like the way it delivers the right amount of hot water, so it saves energy. It is also fast.”
A second added: “35 seconds to boil a large cup of tea.” A third commented: “This is a great addition to my kitchen, I have put the kettle in the cupboard ready to be brought out when required!
“Within 30 seconds, probably less, I have my cup of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. I'm not sure how much time I shall save for the next few years from waiting for the kettle to boil! I think every home should have one.”
Lara Brittain, Kitchen Expert at Currys Plc said: “At Currys we are proud to spot ‘hot’ products as we know which tech our customers will resonate with. The Breville Hot Cup is one of those, a sell-out favourite with our customers and we can confirm the UK’s largest tech retailer has a limited stock available online and in-stores on this product.
"The Breville Hot Cup VKJ318 Five-cup Hot Water Dispenser produces a cup of hot water up to four times faster than a traditional electric kettle. However, if customers can’t order in time, we suggest they keep their eyes peeled on the Currys website for further re-stock news.”
Priced at £64.99, you can purchase the hot cup here.
