hot water only: I'm wondering is there a way to get the Tassimo to JUST dispense hot water?

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.

Hi Richard, There's a small nozzle right next to the two that dispense coffee and there's a selection on the upper right knob for "Tea portion" on some models or "Water portion" on others and only hot water comes out of this nozzle. It's a timed amount dispensed that you can set the volume of so that you can customize it to the volume of the tea cup that you're using. They have pretty much though of everything!

You would need to purchase a reusable "K Cup". You can leave it empty if you just want hot water, or you can fill it with regular coffee instead of purchasing the disposable K Cups. The machine will not dispense unless there is a K Cup of some sort in it.

The unit shown is a heater only which has no dispenser. Some versions come with a control head which does dispense hot and cold water.

No. One button turns the hot shot on, a different button dispenses the water, so you can dispense as much or as little as you want.

no.. this is common. I did not get hot water; so my plumber adjusted the white knob and it worked.

Mine is full of water and on all the time, so I have instant hot water. It would be pointless to have to wait for 5 liters of water to heat.

you can but it takes forever to have the hot water. I haven't tried this pump without the sensor but I believe that the key to have instant water is the sensor. I like to know too.

No. There's a little switch on the front that sends the hot water (or steam) into the espresso cup or to the wand, but not both simultaneously.

I really don't have the answer to this. We always have hot water but I don't think we use the timer. Have you researched Laing's internet site?

Yes, there is a panel in the heater where you can adjust the temperature to your needs. If your house is big, install a recirculating motor which will give you hot water instantly. You may disable the motor when hot water is not needed.

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.

I can't see this would be any help. The hot water is a continuous circulation and doesn't take that much electricity. Using a motion detector would mean you'd have to wait for the hot water to reach the faucet.

This unit heats the water to several selectable temperatures, so no need to provide hot water to them. Matter of fact, I recall the owner's manual cautions one NOT to supply hot water - only cold water.

Not that I'm aware of. I usually put hot water in the unit first and then run it. The vibration keeps the water hot. The piezo transducers in these aren't meant for a 30 minute duty cycle, and there needs to be a few minutes cool down between cycles when using the 4 minute setting. I've run mine quite a bit, but not 30 minutes constantly. These machine are inherently weak and inefficient because of design, and when the water reaches boiling point, the efficiency drops much further. That is why commercial machines cost so much more.

I had the same question and no, I have not found a way to dispense when the unit is not powered up, which is too bad. However, it is possible to open the top and reach in with a dipper to get water when the power is off.

I guess you can, but why do you need this unit if you already have a hot water source?
