Kraus KHT100SS Instant Hot Water Dispenser Review

The Kraus KHT100SS is a freestanding undersink instant hot water dispenser system consisting of a 1/3-gallon (1.3-liter) stainless steel undersink heating tank and a dedicated brushed stainless dispensing faucet. The 1,500-watt heating element maintains water at the user-selected temperature between 140 and 210 degrees F, accessible within 3-5 seconds of dispensing after initial heat-up (approximately 10 minutes from cold). The temperature dial on the undersink tank sets the target temperature; 210 degrees F is near-boiling for tea, instant coffee, and instant soups. The 1/3-gallon tank provides approximately 60 cups of 210-degree F hot water per hour before cold water refill cools the tank slightly. The brushed stainless dispensing faucet (spout height: 7 inches, reach: 4.5 inches) installs in a standard soap dispenser hole or any 1-3/8 inch countertop hole. A spring-loaded safety handle requires two-step activation (lift then push forward) to prevent accidental hot water dispensing. Kraus backs the KHT100SS with a 1-year limited warranty.
Pros
  • Adjustable 140-210F temperature for different hot beverage needs
  • Fits in standard soap dispenser hole -- minimal countertop modification
  • Brushed stainless finish matches Kraus kitchen faucet collection
  • Two-step safety activation prevents accidental scalding
Cons
  • 1/3-gallon tank is small -- high-demand use requires waiting for reheat
  • 1-year warranty shorter than premium hot water tap competitors
  • 10-minute initial heat-up from cold
