Your local big box or plumbing store will have a hose adapter you can screw into your faucet, unless you have one of those fancy sprayer faucets.

so i can go to home depot or lowes and get one?

do all fosets have threads in them?

Yes, Lowes, HD etc should have them in the plumbing section.

If the big store don't have them try your mom and pop TruValue or Ace. HD didn't have one for mine, but maw and paw did.

Check your local Home Depot / Lowes also. Readily available and a bit cheaper.

Not all have the type of threads that you can use to attach a hose to.

do you think i can take the dcorative piece off the spout. or i can get a double male connctor and attach under the sink.

Sometimes there is a threaded ring that is underneath the spout. That could be removed, if available. I would not take apart the faucet, that would be a pain to use during the brewing process. Maybe it would not be too difficult to fit a double male connector under neath the sink . . . just make sure the connector thread fits whatever size hose you are going to use. Do you know how to install cpvc fittings?

sure do

dude, you are golden. a dual male connector with valves would be primo. there are even fittings that do not require primer and dope! shark bite or something . . . check at lowes or HD. Just cut and fit, it uses some sort of internal metal gripping deal. A bit expensive, but easy as hell! I would also get a u-brace to support the cpvc stub out when a hose is attached to it.
