Is a peacoat a coat soaked in pee?

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.

Heh, pretty much every kitchen in the UK - in homes and in offices - has a kettle that can boil a litre of water in 3-4 minutes. You can buy them in the supermarket for around £20.

And then there's this beauty my wife treated me to a while back... https://www.sageappliances.com/en-gb/product/bke825?sku=SKE825BSS3GUK1
