Q: Does this dispense hot water for tea?
A: It does not have a hot water dispenser.
submitted bymsun209 - 2 years agoA: No, this unit does not dispense hot water. However, if that feature is important to you, consider upgrading to the Ninja Luxe™ Café Pro 4-in-1 Espresso, Drip Coffee & Cold Brew Maker (Model ES701). It includes a dedicated hot water mode for added versatility, perfect for tea and more. If you're looking to turn up the heat, that model could be the ideal fit!
