Throughout Latin America few homes are equipped with hot water. Don't you miss not having hot water to wash your dishes? Well here is the quick fix to that.Simply take a coffee maker with a 10 cup or so pot. Fill it with water two times ad add to your kitchen sink. Even if you need get a new coffee maker it should be no more than $20. And most likely you already have one. he benefit is water needs b 104 F or better to sanitize. Also hot water will eliminate oil and grease unlike cold.. Soaked in hot water a few minutes practically self washes dishes. Bottom line is this is an easy inexpensive and fast method of heating water. Better than heating it in a microwave,

Hey,

I lived in St. Maarten for 4 months and most of the houses were without hot water., a first for me. For the first few months we boiled water about 3 times a day just for rinsing off after showers and washing dishes. After that, we invested in a hot water heater to hook up directly to the shower head. Not sure if you have that option where you are. I feel like a coffee machine doesn't produce the type amount of water that we needed.

Here in Cyprus, all the houses have solar panels and a hot water tank on the roof. The tanks are fitted with electric immersion heaters for use on cold, cloudy winter days. But there is enough sunshine here that you can get by without using the immersion heater very often.
