Believe it or not, there is a valid reason for using cold tap water.
If all you're going to do is boil noodles or steam vegetables or
something like that, use hot water and save energy (maybe $.0001)
and time.  However, if you are going to drink it, such as in
coffee or tea, use cold.  There seems to be more air dissolved in cold
water which stays in when boiled in a kettle.  This makes the beverage
"livlier", while hot water makes it "flat".
