Question
Sometimes I visit the home of a secular person. Am I allowed to make coffee there (the coffee and milk are kosher, and the cup and spoon are disposable)? The problem is the kettle, which has not been immersed in a mikvah. A] Since there is already water in the kettle, I am just emptying it. B] I cause him to refill the kettle when it is empty.
Answer
Shalom Rav
If the kettle was full, and you are just emptying it, it is permitted. However, if he asks you whether to make you coffee, and he fills the water for your coffee, it is forbidden.
