No, you just push the big button, and a certain amount of liquid comes
out of the spout (which is near the top); if you want more, you push the
big button again. It really is kinda like operating a pump -- "Pushing"
the big button is a sort of smooth stroke, so you can stop pushing at
any point and the liquid stops immediately.

It works pretty well (well the ones I've used have, anyway; Zojirushi is
probably the brand you want, if you're going for high quality).
