Why start with cold water when making coffee or boiling water in general to cook?
The only time I'm sure it noticably effects what your cooking is when you boil potatoes (or any other thick root vegetable). If you start with hot water when boiling potatoes they cook too fast on the outside and get mushy before the middle is cooked. Starting with cold water lets the entire piece of potato get hot along with the water and it cooks through evenly. The general thought here is to use water that you would drink. You would never drink water from your hot water heater.
