A bottle is filled with water at a bottle reception station of a water dispensing apparatus (1). A nozzle (5) coupled to a source of water is positioned spaced from the mouth of a bottle such that a bottle or the user cannot contact the nozzle. Thus, water may be dispensed through the nozzle and into a bottle without making contact with any surface of the apparatus. The bottle reception station includes a receptor (6), defining an orifice into which the mouth of a bottle is inserted. A nozzle is coupled to a source of water via a feed mechanism that has an operable state in which water may issue from the nozzle and an inoperable state. A first control is for user operation from a first state to a second state. A second control is a detector for the mouth of a bottle, inserted through the orifice is provided. |
