What is the Logic of a Pot Filler?

The biggest pot we have is 20qts (5 gal). We use it to brew beer and to make chicken stock.

DH and I both thought the pot filler idea was stupid. We did read about a self filling coffee pot which sounded intriguing for about 30 seconds. We rejected it on the same grounds that y'all did. Leak potential plus the coffee pot that could do this would be expensive and difficult to replace...

Our coffee maker is under the cabinet next to the stove. We use the pot filler to fill it.

For guys like myself that use the stove, the pot filler is primarily used to put out those pesky stove top fires.

Our kitchen faucet has a sprayer and a pot filler. The spray head is similar to what is found in restaurant kitchen dish pits. The pot filler has two settings [censored] open, and closed.

I think that's the advantage -- just an unrestricted flow of water to fill a pot as fast as possible. The spray head is good for cleaning, but not for moving volume.
