QETTLE 4-in-1 Instant Boiling Water Tap | True Boiling, Filtered Cold, Mains Hot & Cold (4 Litre Boiler)

Product Information

With a safety clip, you will only be able to access the boiling water if it is what you want. The lever must be pushed down to activate it, and once you let go, the water supply is immediately cut off, so there is no risk of scalding your hands (or those of any little ones) accidentally. Looks-wise, it is modern yet classy. You couldn’t tell it was a boiling water tap from looks as it isn’t bulky or cumbersome. The button to switch to spray mode is also quite well-hidden which is nice.

Most work by having a thermally-insulated tank or boiler which stores the boiling water, so it is ready on-demand. When you press the handle or pull the lever, cool water rushes into the water, displacing the boiling water through the tap and into your mug or pan. With these in place, the chances of accidentally scolding your hands are very slim, although caution is still needed when using the tap. Is the water literally boiling? The Franke Minerva Electronic 4-in-1 delivers boiling water at 100°C. We especially like the way its large boiler can be hidden behind a plinth. Its pre-set touch controls are especially user-friendly.

Like the InSinkErator, this model dispenses the water in a thin stream that is perfect for pre-heating small cups. However, it will take a while to fill an entire saucepan.

I personally love it for its aesthetics and style options – it’s hard to find stylish functional items like taps, so I’m over the moon with how it looks in my kitchen.

MENU

This 4-in-1 is easy to install and comes with great instructions to follow. The temperature reaches 100˚C (boiling point) unlike other boiling taps on the market, and it is stored at 105˚C, ready for when you need it next. There is a ten minute recovery time so you don’t have to wait long for it to refill, and it provides up to 10 cups at any one time thanks to the 4L storage tank. But there is a tank of hot water being heated underneath your sink. Let’s discuss the setup. How do you fit a boiling water tap?

Highly visual and tactile, it provides peace of mind for children or more vulnerable members of the family.

What's Your Signature?

InSinkErator boiling water taps are endorsed by multi-award winning interior designer Kelly Hoppen CBE as a “no brainer… perfect for anyone with a busy kitchen and lifestyle”. The Italian-made taps look great but the fact that they don’t dispense at 100°C will put some buyers off. The quality is great. I love the sleek feel, the smooth functioning and the way the tank and filter hide well inside the sink cupboard.
