Pot filler faucets were once only used in commercial and high-end kitchens, but a number of manufacturers, like Delta, Moen, and Danze are offering convenient pot filler faucets that are wall-mounted and flexible enough to reach all the burners at several heights.  These newly designed faucets fold against the wall when not in use and can be turned on and off at either end of the faucet, making them safer and more convenient than their predecessors.  The faucets are also available in a number of different finishes to blend in perfectly with your kitchen.

Several manufacturers, like Grohe and InSinkerator, now offer faucets with chilled water, heated water or both.  The heated water is 200 degrees and only takes one minute to reset.  You can use the water to prepare instant soup, gravy, coffee, cocoa, and tea.  You can also melt chocolate, heat potpourri, cook instant rice & potatoes, remove labels, soak pots, polish silver, warm baby bottles, fill a hot-water bottle and heat frozen food in plastic pouches.  It's instant, so it's faster than either a stove or microwave.

The chilled water faucet will instantly give you cold water for drinking and filling up your water bottles and pet dishes.  You can mix orange juice, lemonade, ice tea and Kool-aid.  It's filtered water, so everything tastes great and because it's chilled, you'll need little or no ice cubes.  The faucets come in a variety of different styles and some companies offer as many as 11 different finishes so that they'll blend in with your other kitchen fixtures and the chiller/heaters fit compactly under the sink.  The unit is also economical to operate--a day's worth of heated water only uses the energy of a 40-watt bulb.
