The thing with the spigot in the top middle. I'm not sure what your hot water boiler/fountain looks like, but there are tons more coffee urns online if you Google "regency coffee urn". If you Google "regency samovar", then you get the heating element for coffee urns that are built for being heated.
So, I would say that the principle of having hot water on demand isn't anachronistic, but the style of whatever you're using might be. I think it's allowable to use something that comes from a later date, since it's not as if you're going to 1) find reproduction hot water urns, or 2) use an actual 200-year-old samovar/urn. As long as the one you're using doesn't have Queen Victoria's head engraved on it, knock yourself out and use it.
