Disclosed herein is a water heating and dispensing system adapted for use in an automobile, utilizing an exhaust pipe heated coil for the heat transfer. To accommodate the varying levels of exhaust heat the coil is adjustable in its position relative the pipe, thus providing varying amounts of heat transfer. Included further is a pressure regulating valve for releasing any in the system steam and a dispensing assembly for dispensing both cold and hot water. Also included are various electrically operated indicating lights and control inputs for indicating the heat range to which the water is to be brought up. In the normal mode, i.e. during the time when water is not dispensed, the hot water circuit is connected in a recirculation mode, the normal convective currents in the water providing sufficient circulation to exchange heat. The dispensing assembly, furthermore, includes an enclosed cavity in which cups may be placed, thus retaining the cups against inadvertent spillage.
