We have them in kitchens that need to serve a large number of people - big offices, big hotel breakfast areas, transport lounges, etc.
But a standard kitchen, I think it’s like someone else said in this thread: The time it takes to boil a 240V kettle isn’t much more than the time it takes to get the mug ready, so there’s no real benefit to going through the extra structural work to fit a boiling water tap.
Also I think most “boiling water” taps are actually like 95°C, not boiling, so if you’re a black tea snob that isn’t acceptable.
yeah I think the thermodynamics of piping actually boiling water are complex and kinda dangerous (sputtering out the spout for example) - so 95c is where it ends up as it’s pumped out of the spout. if the tea lovers in this house (there are many) care they don’t seem to mind the loss of heat for the convinience of it.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT $1500 euro for that thing, and UP?
it better dispense boiling holy water for that money
