I've already prooven it. Furthermore I demonstrated it. So if by unrealistic
you mean realistic then we agree. Its quite obvious that the water will boil
for a considerable time after the power is off. This does not require
anything in addition to the normal functioning of the device. It is not an
act of storage but in the very nature of materials (which have nonzero heat
capacity). You have no evidence that what Levi leaves the flow on but I've
already shown it won't help your argument if he does.

The water is always flowing. This is a flow calorimeter.
It is completely unrealistic to suppose that you can boil water in device
this size, save up heat in metal, and then continue boiling at any
observable rate for more than a few seconds after the power goes off. That
is out of the question. The temperature of the metal would be far above
the melting point. The metal would be incandescent.
