Instant Boiling Tap Water

Instant Boiling Tap Water Quooker sells a nice looking product that produces instant boiling water, straight from the tap. The faucet draws the boiling water from an insulated tank mounted underneath the counter, where water is heated to 110°C. As the water flows from the faucet, it cools to 100°C. Quooker says that the unit's energy consumption is "next to nothing" in standby mode. I wonder if it would melt one of these.

Caution! The boiling water you are about to enjoy is hot...

Looks nice... some data from the website :
- it's build around a 3Liters vacuum-insulated steel tank (like a thermos bottle). So you always have 3L of boiling water available, you do not heat on demand like the Pulsar microwave water tank... the standby mode uses 10W.
- when starting from cold operations, it takes 10 or 20 minutes (800W or 1600W model) to heat up.
