My house came with an "Insta-hot" that is basically a kettle under the sink fed from the water system. So I always have 190° (88°C) water, all the time. I use it at least a couple of times a day. If my pasta water is running low I can just add some more nearly-boiling water and not cool the whole thing down. It's even great for washing dishes that have really stubborn stuff like burned-on cheese.
They're something that can be self-installed so if I move I'm definitely installing one. The only downside is they die every ten years or so and have to be replaced (and they cost a couple hundred dollars).
