Zojirushi micom. It holds a gallon of water at a preset temperature (just below boiling, 195, 175 etc) and dispenses water after pressing a button out the spout.
I love it a lot, perfect tea water at the touch of a button.
When you're brewing that much, a large capacity zojirushi might be worth looking into. http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-CD-WBC40-4-Liter-Electric-Champagne/dp/B00114Z464
Yes. I own this one for making Persian tea. I highly recommend it. It boils water extremely fast, then automatically shuts off. You can keep your tea warm in the teapot, too.
I also own this one from Zojirushi, but I assume that's overkill for your needs. I'd recommend anything from Zojirushi, though.

Ah, my impression was that OP was requesting an affordable instant hot water dispenser, like a Zojirushi (thus the request for an affordable one--those are generally more expensive than kettles).
Fuck Keurigs! Just buy an AeroPress. It's so much cheaper per cup, is practically self cleaning, and makes better coffee. You can make it as strong as you want, and can even make espresso ("coffee concentrate" if you want to be very technical.) And you can use whatever coffee you want!
Rather than spending all that money on a fancy brewer, and then $1 per cup of coffee, buy a Zojirushi Boiler (or similar), and you can make coffee nearly as fast as with a Kurig. I don't mean within 15 seconds, but so short that you won't hesitate to make a cup. Or you can just nuke some water in a Pyrex measuring cup, but that takes 2-3 minutes.
I own that exact boiler and an AeroPress, and it's amazing. I have 195° water on tap all of the time, and the 4 qt one is tall enough to dispense right into an AeroPress on top of a tall mug.
I even use an AeroPress at work at my desk even though there's a Keurig available. I get hot water from the water dispenser (combo water cooler/heater that work provides), use the AeroPress normally, push the grounds into the waste basket, then wash the remaining grounds off of the plunger with a chemistry wash bottle right into the waste basket, too. (There's a trash bag in it, and it's not much water.)
