Re: Which kettle?

[Raymond <Reb.barnett@xxxxxxx>]

Our cold water dispenser here at the office can be fitted with an
optional 'hot' outlet specifically for making tea. I don't know whether
it maintains a reservoir or heats it on demand. We were recommended
against having the hot water option because some people reckon it isn't
quite hot enough for making tea.

I've always had the idea that it isn't healthy to drink water that has
been re-boiled for long periods such as that from your hot water
cylinder - something to do with trace amounts of copper (although I
thought this was pretty inert!) leaching in, but I don't really know...
