If you’re broke, lazy, or both (no judgment here), the bottle top dispenser is your friend. These little plastic or metal pumps sit right on top of a standard 5-gallon jug. I’ve seen them for as low as $15 to $30 on Amazon. They’re tiny, portable, and perfect for a dorm room or a tiny apartment.
But here’s the catch: they’re basically just glorified sippy cups. No hot water, no cold water—just room-temperature “meh.” You’ll also need to buy the actual water jugs, which cost about $5 to $10 each at the grocery store. And if you forget to replace them? Enjoy that sad, empty jug stare.
