At least some of the big name manufacturers' top brands do indeed

If your water is heated by electric, it is the same thing. From what I know
all UK machines have an internal electric heater, to heater or raise the
temperature in the water, which could have been heated by gas in the main
water system.

What is your solution to the (then) requirement for a zero length pipe
between the hot water cylinder and the machine? Or should the machine
pump water out until it runs hot?
