The building my office is in only has fountains outside the men's rooms. I prefer to drink warm water however (I don't drink coffee or tea). So I wonder how people usually solve this problem?

If you use some appliance in your office to boil water, what appliances would you recommend?

If you bring a thermal bottle of hot water or similar other kind from your home, what appliances would you recommend?

Thanks!

My company has a break room with a hot water dispenser on the coffee machine, but it's really slow. There's also microwaves, and a cafe downstairs.

In other offices I've worked, I had my own hot plate for a mug....plugs in to any outlet. You can buy the mug & hot plate together, or possibly separately at Wal-Mart or any drug store.

I am currently using a Bunsen Burner and a Flask, but I'm sure most offices are not equipped this way. In the past I also have had the mug with the warmer plate, a small "Mr. Coffee" type coffee maker, and a hot plate. Once during a multi-day power outage I actually heated water for cocoa and tea with a Yankee candle between 2 cans of beans sitting on a cooling rack. Desparate times make for desparate solutions.

Personally, I like the In-Sink-Erator hot water dispensers:

Do you mean warm tap water or water that's actually been heated? If it's just tap water, fill your bottle or glass in the bathroom...the water in the faucet is fine.

Our water cooler has a hot tap and a cold tap, so most people just use the hot water dispenser on the water cooler for coffee, tea, oatmeal, etc.

Use a microwave. I cannot drink water unless it's ice cold but that's my preference.

They have one of those water dispensers with the big jug on top that can dispense hot water or cold water.
