It tastes really nice but it does feel like it takes longer than turning the cold water tap or, indeed, pouring filtered water out of a jug.

All along the sides of the black front panel there are grooves, into which you can hook your drip tray.The first thing that I did was the opener the water reservoir, remove the insert, and attach the filter to it. Since it arrived with the treat box, Jen has been using the Aqua Optima Aurora for a couple of months in her own home.

I also thought it would be interesting to time how quickly the Aqua Optima Auroa could fill my Le Creuset mug. With 49 different temperature and volume options, you can have your drinks just the way you like them. The Aurora by Aqua Optima Instant Hot and Cold Filtered Water Dispenser is easy to use with precise temperature control that allows you to choose from 7 different temperature options from chilled to boiled. Whether you regularly filter water because you live in a hard water area or just prefer the taste, having a unit which does this for you and pours cold or hot water on demand is a welcomed addition - if you're having tea-for-one that is.

If you really want a hot water dispenser then the Aqua Optima Aurora is a safe option with it's simple controls, ability to filter water and pour cold or hot water. Bought the Aqua Optima Lumi, i have to say i’m very impressed, filtered chilled and dispensed all in one!
