 Don't even bother October 2, 2008
Hmmm, good in theory but actually won't replace your kettle. Yes, it's good for the odd cuppa here and there, but if there's more than one of you needing to use it you'd be better off using a standard kettle. Why? Well, firstly the reservoir doesn't actually hold that much water which is a nuisance when you're trying to cater for 3 or 4 people at a time. Secondly, the water isn't actually 'boiling' at any time, so isn't hot enough to use for gravies, stocks etc. Thirdly, the 'filter needs changing' light is VERY annoying and does indeed flash after about 10 days. What's more, the water in my drinks still had a film on top even with a brand new filter. My overall view is don't bother wasting your money, just put less water in your kettle and buy a water filter from Argos for about 5!
 Hotter from the tap... September 24, 2008
I wish I'd read the reviews as well. Not hot enough for tea or for filter coffee - just about OK for instant. Kids like it because they can't wait for anything so I'll be giving it away soon to one of them. Now had to buy a kettle. Needs a product rethink.
 QUICK CUP DELIGHTS September 24, 2008

After walking back to the office with glee after purchasing the quick cup, it had taken months before my mind powers finally persuaded the kettle that we had to die a nasty death, and the walk back was one of joy end exhiliration and a bounce in my step, mostly due to the fact that i spent 60 on this.
i sat about to look at the amazon site and see what it and its community had to say about the quick cup.... needless to say i was a little perturbed at the prospect of so many negative views. still i had my money back guarantee if it was utter poop.....
so with trepidation and a fear of hating an inanimate object that i had lusted after for many a month..... i took the quick cup for a test drive....
with its sleek look stunning curves and smooth exterior, the smile was forming, but would it be all that i wanted or a let down....
for me this is a thing of beauty and does the business.... yes it doesn't boil the water to 100 degrees but all that means is that you dont have to wait 5 mins or so to let it cool down... and plus it makes a good hot cup of tea.....
why not the 5 stars, doesn't do the washing up for me....

Well, I bought this item before reading the reviews and I thought oh my god what have I done but im actually very pleased with it. To all who have complained about misleading advertising, It does give hot water in 3 seconds and although it does take 20 odd seconds to get a mug full, I assume you want a mug of hot water in 3 seconds. Try putting a mug in the garden and spraying a hose into it to see if you can fill it in 3 seconds then imagine if it was 85 degrees. Dont be so daft. It takes 3 seconds to get hot, thats what it states and thats what it does. A kettle takes a minute or more so 20 seconds for a mug is good and it does only heat what you need, not boiling up 3 cup fulls in the kettle when you only want one. It makes noise you say!!!! So does a kettle as it boils. I made my first cup yesterday and it took 10 minutes before I was happy to drink it and my missus had tea and it was fine. Only gave it 4 stars as someone mentioned it went wrong after 2 weeks so Ill wait with baited breath.

I thought this was a tremendous idea! Saves time, saves energy, it has a filter so no need for my water jug any longer!
BUT, it doesn't produce boiling water! So, makes an awful cup of tea! We have just got our good old fashion kettle back out of the garage......HOT TEA! bliss
