But it depends on how you use your coffee makers for hot water. You must know the proper way to extract hot water from your machine otherwise the machine may not be able to give you the desired results.
Getting Hot Water from Nespresso Original Line Machines
The Nespresso original line machines are the simplest and most widely used coffee machines. It brews the perfect cup of coffee in no time but can you get hot water from it? Yes!

The water tank of your machine must have enough water to give you a cup of water.
3. Open the lever of the machine

Before you decided to get hot water, the machine was brewing coffee using coffee capsules so make sure you eject it from the machine.
5. Press the Lungo button
By pressing the Lungo button, the brewing process starts. In this case, your hot water will be filled in the cup. The water in the Nespresso machine may have a brown tinge and/or coffee grinds floating in it if you do not clean or descale the machine regularly.
Getting Hot Water from Nespresso Vertuoline
Nespresso Vertuoline functions quite differently from the original line. The vertuoline machines have a different way of brewing coffee as compared to the original line. These machines use a specific barcode scanning technique to extract coffee from the capsule and determine how much water from the tank would be required to brew coffee. Hence, the Nespresso machine will go into error mode if you press the brew button without a capsule. As soon as you start the brewing process without a capsule, the light on the machines will start blinking as a warning sign.
However, your target of getting hot water from Nespresso Vertuo Machines can be achieved by another method which is through the cleaning cycle. It is when water flows out of the machine and into the chamber. So, to get hot water from Vertuo machines, make sure your machine has been cleaned before it dispenses the cup of hot water that you need. It may take a little longer than brewing a cup of coffee but you’ll get what you need.
