I've no personal experience of them and never seen one in the metal .. I would just be very concerned about the accidental scald potential, with a tap producing effectively 100C boiling hot water instantly on demand

Seem to remember the ones I fitted couldn’t just be turned on to boiling water without moving the handle a certain way etc.

I'm wasting my breath now .

But one last time... to turn onto boiling you have to twist a collar and double click it . And it auto resets off pretty quickly etc.
FFS there's millions of them out there now no more dangerous than a bloody kettle.

Also very handy if you ever loose hot water having the backup as you can also program it to do just warm iirc.

No one said where the scalding comes from.
Mine would be from the better half for not making more tea for her.

Does it also have a hot water supply to the tap or does the ‘normal’ hot tap receive water from the reservoir?

You have to double tap the collar and twist it down to activate.. the only way you’re going to burn yourself is by sticking your finger under it because you don’t believe how hot it is…. 🫣

It sounds like you have a quick release coupling welded to your tap.

I just like the process of brewing a cuppa tea or a coffee. I don’t get much pleasure from spunking £££ on a fashionable tap that will fail in a small handful of years. Would rather buy a tool that I will use once and leave on shelf for 20 years 🤣🤣
