Often a faucet will sputter if there is air in the lines. This happens if the water has been turned off and then on again. If this is the cause, it is only necessary to run the water a while and the air will get out of the lines, and the sputtering will stop.

Either replace the washer on the hot side in the faucet (or buy a new washerless faucet), replace the "angle-stop" with a "quarter-turn" style, or install a "water hammer arrestor". (There is a real convenient style on the market, it fits between the incoming nut at the angle stop and the thread on the body of the stop itself).
