These seem to be a current "in thing" with remodeling/design magazines. Am I missing something? You fill the pot on the stove so that you don't have to carry an heavy pot, but don't you still need to carry the same heavy (and now hot) pot to the sink to drain it?

Next year they will introduce the siphon to drain the hot water from the pot. I know a few people who have similar things in their kitchens, seems to be popular with folks who have arthritis in their hands. I guess if moving the heavy pot causes pain, and one has the $, it might well be worthwhile to cut in half the trips with heavy pots full of water.

Those pot-filler faucets appear in higher-end kitchen layouts; you could assume, I suppose, that after cooking whatever is in the pot, you could dish it up into a serving tureen or bowl, or individual portions, and then the pot wouldn't be so heavy anymore.
I've always thought they were kinda silly, myself.
However, a water line directly connected to a coffeemaker is wonderful - poke a button on the coffeemaker, the pot brews. It's easy enough in new construction to run the water from a source under the sink to a spot on the counter next to it.

Pot fillers are indeed silly. If you cannot carry a heavy pot from the sink to the stove, use another container to carry water from the sink to the pot in 2 or 3 trips.

Our offices were often waterlogged in the morning because of a defective coffee maker and/or line.

Hehehe. Gee, maybe there is some sort of hose that goes from the pot to the sink that will drain all the hot water that way?

They make sense for commercial kitchen sized pots, but certainly aren't needed for residential kitchen sized pots. If you happen to be building or remodeling your kitchen you may as well install one for the hell of it, however get a "real" basic one and not some absurdly overpriced "upscale" one.

Many commercial kitchens have a swing spigot over the cooking area, Chinese kitchens typically have a spigot over the wok area because thats where they wash woks. But totally unecessary for home kitchens.... most folks don't cook with very large pots and even if the pot is a bit on the large size it can be filled with a pitcher and emptied with a ladle. I often add water with the pot lid, or an empty tin from some ingredient

Those Chinese kitchens are a marvel of efficiency, putting the zillion btu/hr wok burner right in the middle of the sink. Cook the dish in the wok, dump the wok into the service container, wok back on the burner, swing the spigot over the wok and hot wash it, dump the wash water in the sink surrounding the wok burner, remaining water in the wok evaporates by the time they put the next set of ingredients in it. Pretty f'n impressive to watch during peak hours.

I've never had it happen at any office where I've worked in the last 4+ decades.
Usually, it's the human's fault - forgetting to put the pot under the water tank; poking the button twice so it fills twice as much as it should; adjusting the level of brewed coffee so that the tank empties too much water, etc.

My wife has a pot filler - me! And I'm the pot drainer too. No expensive gadgets or plumbing required! I'm also the lawn mower, mechanic, and pest exterminator. Ain't she lucky?

You don't drain pasta, you use your silly pasta-spork thing to scoop it out.

Or use my spider/strainer thing, that's what I do! But, unless you are trying to humidify your house or something, you still want to dump the water and wash the pot.

It does not eliminate the problem of moving the water, but it does cut it down by 50%. Depends on what that is worth to you.
