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

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?

Do you mean sous chef?

Yes, but we call her Sue.

It makes the kitchen a gourmet kitchen. Makes it higher end.
Also, it's so convenient when you want to add some water to a hot pot.

Others are jealous.

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.

Signed, I have a huge, and properly efficient gourmet kitchen
And you got ripped off!

You don't have a pot filler. You don't have a gourmet kitchen. Goodbye!

I put a pot filler into my IKEA kitchen - love it, it makes cooking so much easier.

The pot filler determines whether one has a gourmet kitchen or not? Interesting. I have only seen them in overly ornate Tuscan kitchens that are pretty dated.

Not me! I actually just built a new kitchen and had the choice of adding a pot filler or not. Decided against, for 2 reasons: 1) I have small children, and it seemed like a potential hazard; 2) I am picky about how my water for cooking is filtered. I didn't see a good way to have an in-line water filter to the potfiller.
Given those 2 things, it seemed like more trouble than it was worth in convenience.
But you don't have to like my kitchen -- I do!

My parents bought a house with a pot filler (and weirdly, no backsplash), and in ten years they have not used it once. No big stews or witch's brews for them I guess!

So you don't have to carry the water twice.

Carrying it when it's cold is a good test of whether you'll be able to carry it when it's hot.

Pot filler never have hot water which I like to use to lessen boiling time

What about that water that has sat in that pipe for days and days? Do you flush the pipe, carry THAT water to the sink, then come back and start really filling it for cooking?

You shouldn't use hot water for drinking or cooking. The water comes from your hot water tank, which has anodes depositing minerals into the water, and potentially could have rust (though I guess you could get your iron). Look at that rod, you want to drink from water with that stuck in it?

Just be patient. I also don't think hot water is considered potable, though since you boil it that helps things tremendously.

Who cares, they LOOK amazing. I won't buy a house without one.

It does. If I'm shelling out a million for a house, it had better have that feature.
