Boiling water taps - filter unit

It's what put me off tea. Anything other than freshly made tastes awful. Unlike instant coffee which is more consistently mediocre. (years of 'tea trolleys' at work)

We only use Gold Blend. That seems to taste better than others.

So is ours.

When I wash up the coffee maker I fill the jug from the hot tap, then the filter cone. By then it's getting warm, and I can wash out the filter. So it's maybe wasting 2 litres of hot water each time.

Quookers cost hundreds. How many lots of 2 litres will they save me?

We used to waste a lot more than 2 litres every time we ran the hot tap because it was a long pipe - and 22mm to boot.

But, as I wrote in my previous post, it's difficult to make a purely economic case for a Quooker - it's just that it's very convenient.

When I tentatively looked at these devices I'm I read they should not be used water-softners. I couldn't see why not as I use ion-exchanged water in our "one-cup" kettle thing without issues.

Perhaps it's so they can sell their own "special" filter...
