Re: How do you guys dispense water?

Nope... I'm guessing your family does this thing that makes my blood boil in about 5 seconds:
They'll fill the kettle all the way to the brim... Then boil it for the 5 minutes it takes, costing shite loads in electricity, which isn't too great for the environment, especially when everyone's doing it (especially the Irish). Then, after reminding the world at large that "a watched kettle never boils", they'll poor 1 or 2 cups of tea, then leave the other 15 litres of water to go cold, before repeating the process.
This annoys me so much because I know I do it myself. The water boiler dispenses with all such silliness. And ours has 2 spouts, so you can make 2 cups of tea at a time; leave the machine doing its thing while you bugger off and do something useful.
The only thing more annoying than the above scenario is one I've only encountered once: A lady I was on shift with the other week went into the kitchen at the start of our shift and left the kettle to boil, then went on with her work. When I asked her if she wanted me to make her drink, as she'd clearly forgotten or something, she declined.
When I reminded her she'd just boiled the kettle, she replied "Yes, it's a habit. Then it'll be ready for when I need it. That's what I've always done." She didn't need it for another 2 hours.
Such a profligate waste of energy should be punishable by 6 months chained up in a room with the most boring and talkative train spotter in the world.
BTW, I just timed our water boiler: It took 01:35. That was from me pressing the button, to my cup being ready to take off the machine. Gotta love Morphy Richards.
