Gone are the days when you had to measure the right quantities of water, fill up your kettle and wait several minutes
to bring it to a boil – all for a morning cup of tea or coffee! This is the 21st century and as everything else about your life becomes faster, why should your mornings be slowed down by this entire drill of downtime just for some hot water?
What’s the alternative, you ask? Well, hot water dispensers boil water far more efficiently than obsolete kettles – faster and in larger quantities, and there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t invest in one! From heating water for that cup of coffee to making instant cup noodles and soup, the benefits are endless. With static vertical spouts and push button controls, hot water dispensers will resolve the issue of having to fill, carry, lift and pour from a kettle which can be risky and cumbersome at times, especially for those facing mobility issues and conditions like arthritis, etc.
However, choosing the right hot water dispenser can be a daunting task, especially if you are buying one for the first time and are particular about fulfilling the maximum possible needs of your household. Although most hot water dispensers available in the market are energy efficient and economical, not all work as effectively when it comes to their specialised task, i.e. heating water to the right temperature – the result being shamefully spitting out a mediocre cup of water. So how do you know which ones to consider and which ones to avoid? This guide is designed to help you make an informed choice which is the best decision for your kitchen and perfectly fits your family needs.
There are several different types of options available for hot water dispensers in the market. Depending on factors such as your need/requirement, space and financial constraints, you can make the right choice of which one suits your kitchen, family or office space best.
Sink Faucet Dispenser
This type consists of a stand alone faucet which is installed close to your kitchen sink in order to ensure steady supply of water. Not only does it ensure quick and easy supply of water, its material and water temperature ensures the purification of water as well, so that you will have clean and hot water readily available for your next warm beverage!
Water Tank Dispenser
Some water dispensers use separate water tanks as they can provide a convenient way to obtain hot water. These tanks can take a range of different forms, whether a boiler style receptacle or water bottle style. The latter will be the most convenient of the two as a base unit can be obtained and a bottle full of drinking water can be replaced when necessary. Through these dispensers, hot water can be dispensed at the touch of a button, as most water tanks run on a thermostat that constantly keeps the water heated.
Steam Heater
Steam heaters can be an easy and convenient solution for heating water, depending on what the water is required for, especially where the device/appliance already exists.
Kettle-style water dispensers
These dispensers are essentially a modern version of the electric kettle that have been designed to prevent the need for a long wait while your water boils. They will allow you to press a button to instantly provide as much water as you need without boiling the entire kettle hence leading to more efficiency and water conservation.
The Boiler
A range of different boilers can also be used as hot water dispensers. Upgrading a boiler to the latest model will make
your home more energy efficient, because newer boilers need less energy to heat water. Another way would be to obtain a tankless water heater so that the main supply can be used to provide hot water.
Features of Hot Water Dispensers
Kettle vs Hot Water Dispenser
Not only are hot water dispensers more economical, they are also more energy efficient as they only boil what you need, without wasting power in reboiling existing water.
Most dispensers boil water much faster than kettles too, since they are usually boiling a cup or two at a time and use more advanced systems and technology. While some of the fastest kettles can frequently take upto 2-3 minutes to properly do their job depending on the quantity of water being boiled, a dispenser normally does not take longer than a minute. However, it can still be argued that you can’t really fill up hot water bottles or other items using a dispenser. Secondly, large quantities of water can’t be poured out at the same time from a dispenser which usually heats up a smaller volume at a time. If you are looking to serve the needs of a larger party or family, then you have to pick the right one very carefully, otherwise overusager and reboiling between pours could lead to overheating of the unit which can be dangerous.
Cups and Capacity
The volume of a standard cup is approximately 300ml. This number lets you know how many cups of water a full tank can hold without needing a top-up or a refill. Capacity is not a major issue, unless your usage is heavy, for example, if the whole family has to use it, then you would want to choose one with a reasonable capacity so as to reduce the frequency of refilling. However, no matter what the capacity, it would always be a good idea to fill it based on your specific requirement so as to prevent loss of downtime.
Temperature Adjustment
The perfect temperature of water for most hot beverages is 96 degrees celsius as boiling point water (heated to 100
degrees celsius) can spoil the quality and taste of certain coffees, teas and other warm beverages. However this can vary, as for green tea, the recommended temperature is approximately 70 degrees. Hence having the option to adjust and monitor the temperature on your dispenser is a welcome feature as it gives you the freedom to prepare a wider variety of beverages, adjusting temperatures based on mood and preference, etc
FAQs
What should a hot water dispenser be used for?
Depending on the capacity of your dispenser, you can use it for single serving cups of hot water for warm beverages like herbal tea, hot chocolate, coffee, etc. or, with increased capacity ones, you can also fill saucepans for filling flasks to travel, boiling rice and pasta, etc.
How should I refill a hot water dispenser?
If the water tank of your dispenser cannot be detached from its body, you have to refill it using a separate jug or by emptying out a reasonably sized bottle of drinking water into it. However, some dispensers come with a removable tank which can be detached and taken to the tap for a refill, although exercising caution is recommended.
How can I clean a hot water dispenser?
Each brand has a different set of instructions depending on the material that the dispenser is made of. However, using harsh chemicals is not advised and simply boiling a vinegar solution in the tank can do the job just as well getting rid of any residue smell and/or substance making sure to always thoroughly rinse through, so as to clean off all product remains.
How safe is an instant hot water dispenser?
As long as you are taking all the necessary safety precautions, hot water dispensers are perfectly safe to use. If you want to go for the absolutely safest model, then get one which comes with a drip tray, good control ability, and has a cut-off limit so it only pours out a set amount of water into your cup before stopping automatically.
