Pot filler - is this a must in a kitchen for resale and also must it match the faucet? Stainless ok?

Ok, at least now we have something to go on. OP: if your kitchen is bigger than your MBR, then say yes to the pot filler. (But maybe look into an aux sink or drain by the stove top so you don't have to carry that hot pot of water to the main sink.)

Clutter? Have you ever seen one? It's mounted on the wall near the range. There is no clutter on a counter.

I know it is not on the counter. But it is just one more thing.

One more thing? It elevates the status of a kitchen.

What kind of peasant gives a shit what the kitchen looks like? Who cares what the servant's areas look like?

They are stupid looking.

If your kitchen is so big you need a pot filler, your design is poor. A sink should never be miles from the stove. This is basic.

Well, it brings down staff morale, for one. What would the help think if the cook had to carry a pot of water from sink to stove?

What else is the sue chef going to do?

My master bedroom has a pot filler, too.

Then it has a design flaw and an inefficient work triangle. I have a pot filler at one of my residences. Since I don't live in the middle ages nor am I a peasant in the old country I am not making the pot of soup /stew for a week of family feeding. No bubbling cauldron is needed.

I have a pot filler and it follows me to every room.

Our "pot filler" is the scullery maid, but she also performs other duties. Gracious, are DCUMers so wealthy that they can afford just a pot filler?

I love my pot filler... above the range. I cook a lot of pasta. Yes, I have to take it to the sink to drain, but I don't have to move it from the sink to the range. Plus, I use it to boil off burnt food off the pans. I turn on the fan above the range and put the water in.. as soon as the water hits the hot pan, the fan takes the steam away. If I filled the hot pan at the sink, I'd have steam at my face from the pan.

It's not a deal breaker, nor do I think it adds huge value to the kitchen, but I love that I have it.

Great way to permanently warp high end pots and pans....assuming you might have those......

I thought the same thing. That you're killing your pots and pans and who has that much burnt food? What a waste of a good kitchen, good pots and pans and presumably good food.
