Beverage making equipment, water heating equipment, and methods for using su ch equipment which use heated water and dispenses heated water from a heated water reservoir. The apparatus includes a water line extending from the heated water reservoi r to a dispensing point, the line having a positive slope between the reservoir and dispensing point. A vent tube may also be used communicating with and coupled to the line with a retu rn passage communicating with the vent and reservoir. The method of dispensing water fr om a heated water reservoir involves dispensing water from the reservoir at one level an d delivering water to a dispensing point at a second level positioned at a positive dimension above the dispensing port of the heated water reservoir. the method may also include providing a vent tube coupled to and communicating with the line for removing gas which evolv es from water passing through the line and returning the gas to the reservoir.
