Sharing hot water urn with Non-Jews

 

Full Question: 

I share an office with some non-Jews. We have in our office a hot water dispenser; you put your cup underneath the faucet and you press a button to dispense the water. It is possible that some of the non-Jewish workers use the machine to dispense hot water directly on top of their food. Would that cause an issue to use the machine for me due to the stream of water or the steam?

 

Answer:

There may be an issue involved.
