Does this dispenser actually brew tea or does it give individual cups of hot water to brew each cup of tea?

It does not brew tea, it heats the hot water and dispenses it for tea. It will dispense as much as you want at a time.

It has a reservoir of hot water that you can dispense as needed, into a cup or pot, and use to make tea. The machine only heats and dispenses water, and works quite well for that purpose. You can set it to several different temps.

Dispenser dispenses hot water at four different temperatures of whatever guantity you need. It does not brew tea in the dispenser.

No the zojirushi water dispenser only heat the water. I have used these for years also just a little advice you must use our I suggest you use filtered water from a Brita water filter because over time you can get calcium buildup I clean my about once a month

Yes, you would just push the brew button without coffee or tea in the apparatus. I oft times put a tea bag in a cup and just use the water.

I haven't brewed anything but a carafe but I think the Flavor (steeping) mode is only active for single cups.

No you are not limited by the unit as the filter can allow the making of one cup, but the water measurement line is set to show 2-4 cups, so you would have to measure the water yourself. In fairness, the effort of cleaning the unit after making only one cup would probably dissuade one from only drinking such a small amount. You could simply buy a one cup infuser (not automatic, but a lot cheaper). If you like good tea, like I do, it is worth making a full pot and drinking the tea over a period of hours. Good tea keeps well in the glass unit, and tastes very good at cooler & cold temperatures!

The tea holder is out of the water while the water is heating, then you manually lower the holder into the water for brewing. There is only the one up and one down. I always make a full pot, so it hasn't been an issue. Hope this helps.

Yes! I just heat the water and add bags/packets to my cup. But the tea bags could be brewed through the coffee system. It heats the water very quickly. Hope this helps!

I personally have never used it to heat water for tea. It takes a good 25 minutes for it to brew coffee so if I were going to use it for hot tea water, I think I would:- Heat a small amount of water in the urn until it shifted over to the WARM function- Boil the remaining amount of water separately and then pour it into the urnOtherwise, you might plan on allowing 30 minutes to heat a full urn of water. Hope that helps!

You don't need to fill it with hot water. Just fill with regular water and correct amount of coffee and it will brew as many cups as you put in.

I make my tea with boiling water. I love this Tea Maker. It is for loose leaf teas.

I haven't used it for water only, but...the directions say that it does. You can custom set to heat to 212 degree (which is the temp. fo boiled water) with a max. 10 minute brew time. I suspect that would definately boil the water for you. You just need to select that option. It will keep it hot for you also, for up to 4 hours I think (I do not currently have the directions in front of me). It is like that for the tea anyway. You will not regret purchasing this. I it is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.

I use my 12 cup coffee maker but add approx. 6 to 12 cups additional hot water (depending how strong you want it). I'm probably closer to 6. It makes a lot of tea!

I believe you can put the descaling disc in the machine and when you run it it dispenses hot water. You may want to check their website to verify that. Holding down the brew button makes it Descale but pushing it once normally should just fill the cup with hot water.

Yes, it can make hot water for tea. You can program it to dispense the exact amount of water to fill your cup as well.

The single brew cups are hot enough when brewed, but not too hot. They do cool off faster than the carafe does. Example -- if you brew 2 cups for yourself at the same time, the second one will be tepid by the time you get to it.

The water is chilled when it is dispensed...the hot water is barely hot enough for hot chocolate but great for tea

Kettles are strictly for boiling water. You pour the hot water into a cup or a teapot to brew your tea.

You can brew ONE or two cups at a time. Or one tea & one coffee. It does not have a brew delay.
