Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Introducing, the new and improved Quick Cup Deluxe from Tefal. Still enabling us to beat the boredom of waiting for a kettle to boil and saving just as much energy, the Quick Cup Deluxe serves hot (not boiling) or cool water on demand in only 3 SECONDS and uses only a third of the energy of an ordinary kettle - so a great time, energy and money saver.
Thanks to a unique "Opti-Quick" technology system (a patented innovation by Tefal), you don't need to pre-heat your water. With the push of a button, the water is sent up the heating element in a spiral movement, heating it immediately as it travels. This way, no energy is wasted on heating water you don't need, or boiling water you don't use. In fact, Quick Cup provides an energy saving of up to 65% compared to a standard kettle, helping you to save on bills too. Tefal energy experts have calculated that there could be a £31 cost-saving per year using Quick Cup compared to an ordinary kettle. So if you are thinking of replacing your kettle and want to help reduce your carbon footprint, then Quick Cup could be the best way to help put your energy-saving intentions into action.

(What's this?)
Generally speaking, this is a pretty good product; it's easy to set up, a quick wash and dry, attach the drip tray and run a couple of tanks of water through the machine to clean the inner parts and it's ready. As for its size, I have a Morphy Richards retro-style toaster and the footprint of the Quick Cup is just slightly smaller than the toaster.
The Quick Cup is very straightforward to use too, lightly press the large red corner (that's the button!) and within about 3 second's it starts to produce scalding hot water and takes about 24 seconds to pour the whole mug. An important point to note about this is the water is "scalding", not "boiling", which is ideal for making cups of coffee but I don't find it quite gets the full flavours released to make a good cup of tea, having said that, my fiancé thinks it does.
However, one potential hazard to be aware of re the red button is it's very sensitive, as I discovered after making my first cup; I went to reposition the unit on the worktop and my forearm brushed against the button and suddenly the thing jumped into life and I had to quickly scramble to find a container to catch the water that about to be released! (Of course, if I'd been smarter, I would have switched it off at the wall but in the panic I didn't think that).
The only major fault with this unit is the NOISE. I deliberately wrote that in capitals because when you hear it, you'll understand! If you're in the habit of having a 'quiet cuppa' in the middle of the night if you can't sleep, if you use this; 1) you'll realise that nights of quiet cuppas will be things of the past, 2) and you'll soon discover you're no longer the only person in the house who won't be sleeping! Tefal ought to do something about this issue, it is a pretty major flaw.
The unit is also programmable; the quantity of hot water can be varied and set according to your own mug sizes and it will keep repeating that amount until it is reprogrammed. The Quick Cup can also be used for dispensing ordinary filtered water (the grey button on the other side).

We've had our Tefal Quick Cup Deluxe for a day or two now, and I can say it's pretty good at what it does. Like the other reviewers, I would prefer if it made less noise, but it's perfectly acceptable.
The water is not boiling, and that suits me great, because I don't like to scour my throat when drinking tea.
The water capacity is the same as my old kettle, 1.7l, and it does look quite novel.
I can foresee some instructions having to be given when we've got a load of visitors over at Xmas time.
All in all, it's a great product, but doesn't get 5 stars because of the noise.

This is a brilliant product, nicely designed and offering a snazzy look for your kitchen. What I really like about this appliance is the fact that you only use and heat the amount of water you need rather than boiling too much up in the kettle. This does not, however, mean that the "Quick Cup" is unable to cope with more than one cup of water. Its reservoir holds 1.7 litres of water - about the same as most kettles, making it practical for family as well as individual needs.
The "Quick Cup" is simple to set up, very easy to use and has now become a firm favourite in this house! One piece of advice though is to always keep a cup underneath the tap when the product is not in use. This is in case, when reaching over it, you accidentally knock one of the buttons that triggers the water delivery mechanism as, whilst the product does have a drip tray, it is not big enough to accommodate a mug's worth of water!
I can honestly say that I love the Tefal "Quick Cup" and am very pleased to have it as an addition to my kitchen!

Great Idea
The Idea is great and for the brief period it works its perfect for a cuppa when it's not worth making a pot. Tefal though seem to be only good at ideas. Read more

The best quick coffee maker I've tried.
Unlike certain other units the Quick Cup supplies near boiling water in variable quantities. There's not much more to say really. Read more
