Tap-Water Hot or Tap Water, Cold?

[daveamkrayoguy]

Do you use hot, warm or cold tap water when you wash or use for baths, showers, etc. and what kind when?

Me, it's:

Cold, rinsing my coffee maker parts, before the grounds sit there many days, old!...

And of course, Cold, for adding water for recipes, or soups, maybe gelatin desserts, but there the hot water is heated and I use cold water from my dispenser on my fridge...

Hot, almost never--I use my glass kettle...

Warm, when washing my hands, and especially my showers or the very occasional bath...

When I wash my hands, I'll usually opt for cold water. It seems to work just fine esp. with a detergent based dish soap.

I do most of my dishes in a Bosch dishwasher, which will heat the water as needed. I used to run the nearest tap until hot water came out, until I realized this was just a waste of water.
