In short, the potable hot water argument for a combi in a domestic
situation is a very thin one.

I suppose that if you want a cup of tea in a hurry, you can fill the
kettle from the hot tap rather than the cold.


Many newer kettles have no problem boiling 130ml or so of water, in
20 secs or so, from cold.
Hot wouldn't speed it up much.


If you read the rest of my post - which you snipped - you will realise that
the bit about faster tea was a bit tongue in cheek! [Filling with hot *will*
boil faster - but the difference may be almost negligible, as you imply].
