    I don’t, my water dispenser has a tap for hot water. If I’m out of water in the dispenser I usually boil it in a pan. That being said heating water in the microwave is not an issue for me, as long as it’s just the water before adding the tea.

      I always heard that drinking hot water from the tap was unsafe (at least where I’m from) due to the risk of lead being picked up from old pipes. Also sediment from the water heater.

        If you live in a place where there are still old lead pipes in the system, which almost everyone in the US does, you should start pushing your city representatives to get it fixed. It’s a major hazard in all sorts of ways.

        I live in one of the very few cities in the US that replaced all of its lead pipes a couple of decades ago.

        Yes, you shouldn’t drink hot water from the tap. I have a water dispenser, as in an equipment where you put a 20L mineral water bottle and you can pour either cold or hot water.
