It depends how much boiling water you need per day. Unless you use a LOT it's more efficient (cost/energy wise) to use a kettle. Plus there's a significant upfront cost to install a boiling water tap. However, if you drink a shitload of tea, or use a lot of boiling water in cooking, it's generally better to have the on tap option.

I feel like if I were a tea drinker, it would be a no-brainer to get one over using a kettle every morning.

You can buy a whole unit on a large website for 302.43. Just a place at the top searches. So maybe cheaper somewhere else.

Most people are going to have power for their dishwasher or garbage disposal

Getting a hole in the countertop would be the hardest DIY part about it.

Non-stone countertop, and I'd probably charge like $200 to put it in for like 1 hour of work at most.

It's easily worth 300-500 dollars to get instant tea every morning for years.

Better yet installing a small filter water system while you're at it. While plumber is there, it would be easy to add both at the same time and you'd get a discount rather than doing them at separate times.

The 302.43 unit comes with "cold" tap water dispensing as well. You could have filtered "cold" tap water on demand as well with the single faucet.

It's an amazing upgrade for a house if you can afford it. I do see some electric kettles for <$10. Apparently, some you can keep plugged in and running always, didn't know that. Sounds risky unless you get an expensive one and they you should probably just go all out for the faucet.
