I am currently remodeling the kitchen and was thinking about installing an insinkerator Steaming Hot Water Tap for instant boiling water in the kitchen. Rather than fill a standalone electric kettle and wait to make tea, coffee etc these gadgets appear to be offer near instant boiling water and are advertised as saving electricity as well, over a conventional electric kettle.

Can anyone recommend or give a reason not to bother. Are these devices just another gimmicky kitchen gadget that won't end up stuck in the back of the cupboard like the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine.

These devices could prove useful if the water supply is contaminated (bacterial and viral contamination etc) and a recommendation to boil all drinking water is made by the local water supply authority as the tap is supplied with an inline water filter and the water is effectively nearly boiled at 98C.
