Can I get a cup of hot water without making coffee?

Yes, just don't put a K-cup in . Just put the holder down and run it as if you were running a cup of coffee.

Technically, yes, though my experience has been that there are usually some little bits of coffee grounds swirling around in the water when you do. My best advice would be to run it on the smallest cup setting as a rinse cycle, toss that water, and then refill using whatever size you want.

How long will 1 cup of hot water take to heat? Same as a cup of coffee? I gather its not 'on-demand' or instant hot.

Sure. I often make less than a full pot, but there is no "2-cup" or "4-cup" setting. Just use less coffee and less water.

You can do this however, you defeat the purpose of having hot water when you need it. I t takes a little whild to heat up just like a warter heater. Hope this helps.

I wish I could help with an answer, but I have only used hot water...If the ice is in your cup and you are just pressing cool or cold water through, I do not see why it wouldn't work...coffee may be a little weak...

Do NOT use hot tap water. It comes from the hot water tank - think about it. That should never be used for drinking. Boil the water in a kettle instead.

I don't know about running a cup of water through with no K-cup, I do not use it to warm up water for tea, I bought tea K-cups too. No, mine does not appears clogged so you might want to send it back or call the manufacturer about it. I was running mine with warm water and the coffee was not hot enough but a friend told me that I needed to use cold water and she was totally right, I did it and now is perfect.

Yes, you can brew less than a carafe by adjusting the amount of water (and coffee). I do it all the time.

We just used it for hot water. If I remember correctly, there was an insert into which you could to make coffee. I would assume you would use a paper filter for it.

If you mean coffee without milk. Yes, that it what it does. You can adjust both the strength and the amount of water. It also has a 'custom' mode where you define your own settings matching your cups.

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.

Hi Lisa,I don't actually own this particular coffeemaker, but we own a 12-cup Cuisinart Coffeemaker that doesn't have the hot tea feature. In ours, you pour the water in yourself, so if you want 10 cups, you pour in only ten cups, etc.I don't believe this coffeemaker requires a hookup to a water line. You're the "water line".

You can dispense hot water from it if you simply don't place coffee in the filter. However, if you want hot water for tea, I don't know if the water comes out at a temperature fit for tea, though it does come out hot, I don't believe it's boiling. Furthermore, the water that comes from it may have a slight tinge of coffee to it as not all coffee/espresso is removed from it upon a rinse.

I use it without a k-cup. It gives me hot water to make tea or noodles. Be warned though. I'm on my 3rd now... PRIME PRIME PRIME...

Yes, you can get just hot water from the brew head or the milk frother. Frother will always give you clean water. So will the brew head unless you forget to remove old grounds to forget to clean it.

No, but you can make an Americano which is shots of espresso and hot water - essentially the same thing as coffee, personally use a good old coffee press for coffee and this lovely machine for everything else.

Sure! Just put less coffee in the filter, and use less water -- to brew 2 cups, for example, just use half the coffee and water you would for a full pot. Be aware, though, that an "official" cup of coffee is just 6 ounces (5 ounces for hot tea, in case you were wondering!). So if you drink a mug of morning coffee, be sure to make at least half a pot (2 cups).
