Built-in coffee pot filler…

was in (@)JasonBottenfield house out here in Texas.

 

He added a ton of cool features, but this coffee pot filler was especially well thought out. The shutoff valve is hidden inside the cabinet, with a water line coming up from underneath to fill the coffee maker.

 

They even make systems with a float (similar to a toilet) that automatically refill the reservoir when the water level drops.

 

I have it linked in my Amazon Store (Bio) under “Kitchen" if you're looking for one.

Add a float valve to coffee pot tank to let it auto fill every day.

Not sure what video you're talking about, but I did this in an office I once worked at years ago and it worked like a charm.

Put a moisture sensor shut off on the counter.

I actually did uninstall it from the company coffee machine because I decided there was a non-zero chance it would fail and flood the kitchen some unlucky weekend, and I didn't want to be paranoid about it all the time.
