Like the ones embedded in the sink perimeter? If so, those always tasted terrible to me; descaling them is a pain. I can't bring it over to my brewing setup. All the ones I used had a fixed temperature that was too hot for delicate teas and too cold for light roast beans. Also, for making a proper pour over coffee, you need a scale to precisely gauge how much water you're putting through the beans.
ours gets water from the filter setup under the sink; scaling hasn't been an issue. also we live in a city with remarkably good tap water compared to many of the shitholes I've lived in so...
I don't drink a lot of coffee but when I do it's beans- grinder- french press - into the thermos / mug. probably very banal compared to people who really appreciate coffee.
