That's odd. The source of the hot water at the *$ here is the
dedicated hot water spigot on the plumbed-in commercial Bunn. It's
separate from sources of coffee contamination. That's pretty standard.

Next time ask the barista to draw your water from the tap and heat it
with the steam wand. Explain about the coffee contamination if they
ask.
