Hot water is dispensed from the end of the steam wand, and because the wand swivels in and out, you can use a variety of cup sizes. If you want to make tea, hot chocolate, or instant soups that aren’t available in a convenient cartridge, you can use the hot water dispenser on the Lavazza Espresso Point. Features & Benefits: Frothing & Hot Water When in use, a green light will appear next to each button and the power can be turned on and off using the rocker switch on the back of the machine. And, dispensing hot water and steam through the steam wand is controlled by a button as well. Press 1 of the 4 coffee buttons to start dispensing and the Point machine will stop automatically when the pre-set quantity is reached.

If you want to stop the flow of water at any point during pre-set or manual brewing, just press the stop button on the left of the control panel.
