Kmart Anko Digital Hot Water Dispenser

My wife bought this Anko water dispenser for me as a surprise gift after I saw one advertised somewhere and commented that it was a good idea. Well, all good intentions but this machine is not that good unfortunately. As others have commented, the water is nowhere near the 99 degrees needed for a good cuppa and the water continues to flow too much… Read more

after pressing the button again to stop. The water also has a strange taste. If you are thinking of purchasing one of these, spend a bit more and get a different, more reputable brand.

Purchase this product a few days ago from target Toowoomba and the plastic taste of the water being dispensed is terrible, container has been washed out 3 times but still has a plastic taste in coffee The water temp supposed to be 99 deg but I would say it's about 70 as you can put your finger in immediately after being dispensed you have to… Read more

Absolutely brilliant product for the money. Purchased May 2025 for $75, Ive noticed the price has gone up to $79 but it is worth it. The water container is filled at least 3 times a day and used 7 days a week. I'm actually going to buy another one as a spare Show details ·  1

Flushing it out with vinegar water decreased the nasty aftertaste a lot and we really liked it but about a week in it leaked 2.5 litres of water slowly over bench and down under the stove and across the floor. It may well have been user error while replacing the tank (though it looked fine) but anything that allows for such is going back today. The min and max water lines are near impossible to read as well.

I was really hopeful with this product as it has great reviews on the Kmart website. My wife drinks a lot of tea and I drink lots of coffee (usually actual coffee rather than Nescafe crystals). Unfortunately, the water isn't hot enough to make a good tea or coffee, even at the maximum "99 degrees" setting. While I don't have a digital thermometer,… Read more

it's obvious that it is nowhere near 99 degrees. I will say it is fast (as advertised), but if you drink actual coffee it will always be under-extracted. Similarly herbal teas. Another gripe is that when you tell it to stop it continues for another little while, so you have to guess when to press the button. I could live with that, but if it's not hot enough to make tea or coffee what is the point? To me (unless you like tepid Nescafe), the only great use for this product is for mixing baby formulas if you've got little ones. Otherwise leave it on the shelf and use a kettle.
