Score 9.0/10+ No more waiting for the kettle to boil and walking off and leaving it and having to start again when at last you remember you were making a cup of tea! Saves electricity.
- Water never actually BOILS, so if you are making something which needs the water to be at boiling point, you have to do it some other way - so haven't thrown away the old kettle. Capacity is not quite as big as I would like.

Score 10.0/10+ The Quick Cup will definitely save us money. There is only my Husband and myself at home now and we would always boil enough water for about 6 cups when we only needed to make 2. This is a great product.

Score 9.0/10+ Fast. Does the job well. Stylish and does not take up much space on the work surface
- Noisy It would be helpful if there was some indication of when it is going to stop. If you pree the button to manually stop it at just the wrong moment it starts again and the cup overflows. Would be useful if it came with a tray to catch any drips / overflows.

Score 9.0/10+ boils quick, i would allways boil the kettle then walk away. then boil again because it got cold this kettle stops you doing this

Debbie, Grimsby , “I'm a busy Mum”
Score 8.0/10+ Instant cup of coffee...... Clean filtered water
- just needs a quick ping in the micro wave for Tea as water not quite boiling But in fairness the instructions do warn you of that limitation........ Main Gripe is that you can Buy the product but no-one stocks the Filters.... You have to order them direct!!!!!!!!!!!

James, Darlington
Score 3.0/10+ Will make a quick cup of coffee or chocolate but it not very hot
- Not really any good for tea as water is not boiling
purchased 11 Jul 2007
Heather, Bristol
Score 10.0/10+ There is always hot water available immediately - no waiting for a kettle to boil first - AND the water is filtered. My husband cares for my friend's child and when a child wants its bottle this is the fastest way to make a perfect bottle of milk - one third hot water and top with the cold water - perfect temperature for babies bottles. When friends pop in you can offer them a cuppa within seconds. Wonderful is one way of discribing the product.
- The only "bad" point is that the "tank" is a little too small - if it was double the size then I would be more than happy.

Bob, Cardiff , “Happy customer”
Score 9.0/10+ Very happy - tea tastes slightly different from making with boiling water in a pot, but once you get used to it (3-4 cups) it is fine to our tastes. Useful for cooking as well when boiling water required it is easier and quicker than a kettle and of course the main benefit is that it is cheaper.
- None that are really bad, occasional scummy bubbles on top of a mug of tea, but easily removed once the tea bag is taken out.

Heather, Whixley , “Artist working from home”
Score 10.0/10+ I absolutely love it! So much so that we bought a second one to use at work. It,s SO much quicker than waiting for the kettle to boil - that,s been relagated to a cupboard. It also heats the water enough to do cup-a-soups and gravies and sauces etc. and I really like the idea of energy saving. I have recommended it to all my friends and family.
- We use it a lot so it constantly needs filling!

As its name suggests one can get a quick cup of tea/coffee without boiling a kettle of water.
Over a period of time this must mount up to a saving of electricity.

Ric, London
Score 7.0/10+ Extremely easy to set up and use. gives you filtered hot and cold water on demand. no power waste due to unit only operating for the amount of water needed as opposed to heating up the whole kettle for one small bit of hot water. Water measure is perfect for the average 250ml mug.
- The only bad point that I've found is that it is very noisy. The manufacturers should definatelly invest in a much quiter pump.

hazel, rhyl , “fussy”
Score 10.0/10+ Very quick cuppa and light weight water canister to fil. The water is kept out of the reach of children as you dont move the boiling water anywhere as it sits at the back of the worktop, you only move the empty canister to fill with cold water. I love it...
- I dont think the water is as hot as boiling from a kettle but its hot and ready to drink so ideal for children and the elderly as it lowers the risk of scolding. The filters can be expensive dependant on where you get it from and the hardness of the water in your area. Overall a very good product though...
