An indicating means for indicating the activation and deactivation of the reservoir heating element is included on the dispenser. A user actuated means adapted to simultaneously activate the reservoir heating element and the indicating means is positioned on the dispenser. A temperature regulating means responsive to the temperature of the water monitors the temperature of the water during the heating of the water. The dispenser includes an automatic deactivation means adapted to deactivate the reservoir heating element upon receiving a signal from the temperature regulating means.
