Does this machine do on-demand hot water for tea, soup, or hot cocoa?

Yes, you can use this machine for hot water on demand by using the yellow cleaning disc. You may have to cycle it twice to get a full cup. That said, the quality of Tassimo coffee makers has declined since their first models came onto the market. I've had this model a few months and it is inconsistent and leaks water under the unit. Be sure of the return policy of the seller. I tried to return my defective coffee maker and the seller refused it, stating that they do not accept return of used items.

I use the plain cleaning disk when I want hot water for something like herbal teas, etc

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.

Hi Heidi,Absolutely not! This is only for water use. The water stays hot/boiling as long as machine is plugged in....once unplugged, the time it takes to cool down depends on the amount of water in container and external room temperature. I never unplug mine, unless if on vacation... Hope this helps!

I have not seen tea for this machine. You can make regular coffee by adding hot water to the express. I absolutely love mine!!!! Best cappuccino machine I have ever had.

You can use it for hot water but need to buy the K cup insert that the machine recognizes & then dispenses the water

There is one chamber (boiler) for the water which is used for making both the coffee and the milk. There is a value though that directs water to the steam wand for frothing milk. This allows you to heat the machine once & then control the parts how you wish.

It can be used to heat water for instant coffee, cocoa or tea. The instant products are not used in the coffee maker. Thanks for lookingSteve

It is not for espresso or cappuccino. You could certainly heat water to make hot chocolate. This machine is strictly for making coffee only.

Yes, it works great on hot items. I have used it with various soup recipes with great success! I love this little machine!

Yes... It is awesome. I can make tea every 60 seconds with the hot water feature too. This is the Cadillac of Keurigs

Yes, I've used it for anything hot, including cocoa, broth, tea, coffee, and boiling water. The interior is stainless steel, so there is no problem with previous tastes lingering as long as you clean it out properly. If you want the beverage to stay hot for the maximum amount of time, pour boiling water in first to heat the interior, then empty it after a minute or so and you're ready to add whatever you'd like.

Yes to both questions. Any kind of tea will work. It can handle the hot water.

Yes. There is a switch which you can turn on manually. You may not get instant hot water when you turn it on. You need to leave it running for a couple of minutes.

No. It can supply one appliance at a time. During cold weather you need to turn down the flow rate for the water to get hot. This works well in a cabin not good for a house.

No, just fill it will hot water from a kettle and add tea to steep. Pretty teapot to serve from.

Not really. It's just designed to keep hot stuff cooling down slower. It might heat cold water in an hour or so but not hot enough to make tea and that amount of time could damage the mug.
