Primo® Water Deluxe Dispenser Top Loading, Hot/Cold/Cool Temp, Stainless Steel

More uses then drinking water, using the hot water is great for things like instant mash potato's, instant oatmeal, hot chocolate, tea, broth even soups. It saves a lot of time as far as heating up water.Makes a better pot of coffee. No water bottles to return and for us, we found getting Culliegan to deliver the 5 gal jugs right to our door is a few cents cheaper then getting Primo water jugs locally.

My girlfriends family refuses to drink the tap water in our area, although safe and occasionally cold. For years they had been refilling the 10gallon water jugs (that could be delivered for a monthly fee) at local stores and pouring them into a "Gatorade/water dispenser" that sports teams tend to dump on their coaches. I purchased this as a gift and they couldn't have been happier. The water is cold/hot, and I had no issues with bad taste that other people seemed to speak of. I assume it depends on the kind of water you put in the machine, but I purchased the 2yr replacement for $19 just in case anything breaks or stops working properly. Had it for three weeks and no issues. The bottom loading version is less messy, when putting refilled (open) bottles, but after the second or third try on this top loading one, you get the hang of it and have minimal mess. A towel around the top seems to help keep what little splashing that occurs tamed.
