Gas-powered Hot Water Heating for Mobile Pour Over?
Hey All,
I'm trying to put together a pour-over station for my event catering operation, and am considering options for how to heat the hot water necessary.
I don't want to pull water from the espresso machine, obviously. I have considered the following options:
1. electric kettle (or 3) like the Pino
2. dedicated boiler like Zojirushi 5.0L
My concern with these electric options is the power requirements. I'm going to need more outlets than I already am using for the espresso and grinders. Also, if business gets going fast, will the electric options be able to keep up?
So, I'm wondering if THIS is a good idea:
3. using a gas powered burner, hot plate, or even a single -use sterno to heat a water kettle. This option requires no outlets and provides more "power" to heat more water more quickly.
What do you think?

What about an Insinkerator Insta-Hot? The temperature can be adjusted up to boiling. Downside is it's only a 2/3 gallon tank. Only consumes 6.25 amps. Do you have a cart or stand? Or just roll with what's on site. They heat up really quick. And are fairly consistent. But need to be installed and plumbed.
I'm not sure the Zorirushi thing would work. According to the manual I got from their website, it takes over an hour (almost two) to get 5L of water to 175 degrees. Doesn't seem right as it's got an 800w element. And there's a fair bit of electronics in the thing.
I couldn't find any gas power devices that fit your needs on google.
