Espresso + Hot Water in One: How the InstaCuppa Kettle Mode Replaces 2 Counter Appliances

By Saran Reddy, Founder — InstaCuppa | April 15, 2026 | Last updated: April 15, 2026
Quick Answer: The InstaCuppa 3-in-1 Espresso Coffee Maker doubles as an electric kettle with three temperature settings: 55 degrees C for warm water, 75 degrees C for green tea, and 100 degrees C for boiling. This replaces a separate kettle and saves counter space.

How Does the Kettle Mode Work?

Press the kettle button on the LED touch screen. Choose your temperature: 55°C, 75°C, or 100°C. Place a cup under the spout. The machine heats water through the thermoblock and dispenses it.

No adapter needed. Remove any coffee adapter from the brew head first. The water flows directly through the system.

What Can You Use Each Temperature For?

Temperature Best For Notes
55°C (warm) Baby formula, lukewarm drinks Safe drinking temp for children
75°C (medium) Green tea, white tea, instant soup Green tea burns at 100°C — 75°C is ideal
100°C (boiling) Black tea, instant coffee, cup noodles Full boil for chai and masala tea

Does This Replace a Separate Electric Kettle?

For 1-2 cups at a time, yes. The 700 ml tank holds enough for two large cups of tea. For bigger batches (family chai for 4-5 people), a dedicated kettle with a 1.5-litre capacity is still better.

The real value: one fewer appliance on your counter. In small Indian kitchens, that space matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the water taste like coffee in kettle mode?

Run a quick rinse cycle first if you just brewed coffee. This flushes any residual coffee oils. After rinsing, the water is clean.

Can I use kettle mode with an adapter still in?

Remove the adapter first. Water needs a clear path through the brew head. A coffee adapter restricts flow.

How much water does kettle mode use?

It dispenses as much as you hold the button. The 700 ml tank empties in one full pour if you let it run.

Is 55 degrees C safe for baby formula?

WHO recommends mixing formula at 70 degrees C to kill bacteria, then cooling to drinking temperature. Use 75 degrees C mode for mixing, then let it cool.

Can I make instant noodles with this?

Yes. Use the 100 degrees C mode to dispense boiling water directly into a noodle cup. Convenient for hostel rooms or small offices.
