We don't need the hot water from the dispenser. Is there any way for the water not to be hot?

There are switches on the back; one for cold, the other for hot. Just use the switch that suits your desires. JIm

I gave this as a gift, but would assume that if you don't plug it in, it doesn't heat up.

This was gifted to grandson! He said he just turned the hot water part off!

Yes. There are two switches in the back. One to turn off the heater for the hot water. The other to turn off the cooler for the cold water. When turned off, you get room temperature water.

Nope! But I've had it for a few months and it is fine, I don't use hot h2o either

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 honestly don't know, I just use hot water from my dispenser. They feel like a lighter glass, or a heavy plastic.

No, you can not dispense hot water from this machine. Like another poster stated, you can "steam" it .... OR you can simply run without the thingy in it, i.e., the thing you put the coffee in .... the ONLY thing is, if you decide to go either route, make sure it's clean ... otherwise, a) you'll get milk deposits in your steamed water, b) you'll get coffee ground in your hot water .... Maybe it's just best to heat it in the microwave ....

Not really but I believe it is because I do not have a pump to help power the water pressure. The bathroom closest to the water heater receives a constant temperature but the second bathroom has fluctuations in the temperature.

No it is not heated and doesn't stay hot. I start with hot water and just use it until it cools down.

Sorry, there is no hot water hookup. I don't care,though. I think it's great.

I was told you were already hot and didn't need to plug into anything! Or,did you mean how to get the water heated? If that's your question then my solution was to purchase a new product - a Hamilton-Beach temp controlled electric kettle(49$).

Unlikely. The water is split after the filter and goes to the hot tank and staight to the cold-tap. But the hot/cold tap, filter, and water lines can get naturally warm from heat let off from the unit and of course right after you dispense hot water. Check under your sink and it will be a few degrees warmer due to the heat from the tank. For cold you need to let it run a few seconds (5 or so) to cool it down but even then it may take a lot longer to get as cold as the regular faucet.

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.

Heating is via AC Power, but once it is unplugged you can still dispense via battery control. Insulation keeps the water at usable temperature for a while.

There is no thermostat, so if the water is warm enough without it then unplug..

Not really. If you push the single or double shot buttons without the filter on, it will pour hot water into whatever is below it. But it does not have a separate dispenser for just hot water.

Negative - BUT, there is a small plastic piece at the top of an internal feature that does get hot. This part is not submerged even when the kettle is beyond the maximum fill line.

No, do not put it on direct heat. I do keep it on a hotplate on the lowest burner setting to keep already hot water hot.

Just lower the temperature dial a little at a time till it stops, then lower it a drop more, Mine did that till we lowered the temp. Great dispenser. I love it!
