I use mine all of the time. Not the device above but my faucet that
runs hot water.

I wonder if this thing (the one George posted) would be helpful to my
mother? She doesn't make ramen but she likes the occasional cup of
cocoa or tea. I didn't think about the hummingbird feeder I'd
just made "nectar" and hung hers up a couple of days before I left.

My sister has one of these:

It uses electricity and just plugs into a wall socket. It is very
quick and easy, and shuts itself off when the water is hot. It uses
no electricity when not in use, unlike other solutions discussed in
this thread. It is great for one or two people.

She bought it at a military base, although it is available at other
stores in the US.

That would probably be better for her. I didn't think about Mom having to
"pump" the thing to get hot water from the Zorushi model.

Of course, as Sheldon pointed out, she could always just heat water in her
automatic drip coffee maker I got carried away LOL
