i have the braun model but i think it will work with the new model also. i use the cleaning disc that comes with it (it's just a disc with a barcode on it so the unit will run). just put it in and let one cycle run through (this cleans out any residual coffee). then just run as many times as you need hot water.

Use the cleaning disk to run plain water. I find two cycles gives me enough hot water for whatever other beverage I want.

I think the reusable plastic discs are for keurig. I've never seen one for a Tassimo. The thing about Tassimo discs is they are scannable. The machine is able to read a bar code to know what it's preparing. The reusable plastic disc would need a bar code too.

No it doesn't. You can run hot water by not putting in a K-Cup but if you do this you may want to run a cup of water to clean out any coffee residue first then pull the clear hot water. By the way, this is the way you periodically flush the cup holder.

If you lift the lid and shut it without a K-cup in i, it will just do hot water, but i suggest getting a k-cup filter so you can just place the tea bag or ground coffee directly inside the keurig.

Usually you infuse the tea for 3 or so minutes. It would seem that pumping hot water thru a tea bag in 30-60 seconds wouldn't get the full flavor out of the tea. But they do make tea K-cups. Maybe they put more tea in them than a tea bag??? So obviously I don't know!

I am sorry I cannot find any information to answer this. I even looked on Cuisinart's website and it is not mentioned there either. From observation, the water is very hot, enough to seriously burn your mouth if you accidentally gulp instead of sip.

The amount of water to use is indicated by a line inside the bowl (and yes, you can get a measuring cup and add the appropriate amount of water... but what is appropriate?) I just need the one ramen cooker and the amount of water indicated works for me. Even though it looks as if it will "boil over" it doesn't and the handles are cool when I take It out of the microwave. My daughter said her husband used to use plastic bowls, but they were "funky" when he was finished. My family has had a lot of discussion on the correct way to make ramen noodles... this just made it a lot easier to microwave.

The machine requires a pod installed in order to work. I suppose you could put an empty pod in it & try to get just hot water, but I have not tried that as I use the machine for coffee & hot chocolate.

was told by Dolce Gusto customer service that we should never leave water in the tank, in other words, just put enough water to brew coffee and then remove tank, empty it and replace. Mine's been taken away today and I won't be seeing it for nearly a month. Hope they can fix problem as I have a large stock of coffee that cost me a lot of money.

I have never done it. I did have a friend who used it in his Keurig and had some success. He ran it through the water tank and just made cups of hot water till it was gone then ran clean water through. It seemed to help he reported

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this. BTW I'm just a consumer not a plumber.

The Keurig V700 can dispense hot water, however not by pushing a dedicated 'hot water' button. If you use an empty, already used vue-cup, and press the brew button it will dispense hot water.

Hi, I guess it's how your plumbing is set up. For me, all water goes through the water boss softener. So the cold pipe that runs into the hot water tank is softened first. This company used to have great customer service but I've found it's not so great since I bought my second one.

Not really, to place the cup into the brew cup the tabs has to go up and down as pulling back the puncture point and when closing you will get a message you do not have the proper brew cup, if you are patient and lower you will finally get a message to dispense hot water. I have found this can happen also with the cups which the brewer claims is not the proper one. It appears Keurig and Green Mountain has had some lawsuits against them for these reasons.

Hot water is only produced when there is demand for it and there is a short delay while the water is heated. So, you can get a momentary cool water output, but I would not call it a problem. In fact, I hardly notice if it happens.

You don't need pod in place in order to get hot water..just choose cup size
