If you’re redesigning your kitchen or upgrading appliances, one feature that’s fast becoming a must-have is the Quooker boiling water tap. Sleek, safe, and highly practical, this innovative tap delivers instant boiling water — replacing your kettle and transforming how you use your kitchen.
At Brooklands Interiors, we regularly integrate Quooker taps into our luxury kitchen designs across Surrey and London. Here’s everything you need to know before adding one to your home.
1. What Is a Quooker Boiling Water Tap?
A Quooker boiling water tap is a smart kitchen appliance that provides 100°C boiling water straight from the tap, alongside regular hot and cold water. Designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, Quooker pioneered the concept of instant boiling water taps over 40 years ago and remains the market leader today.
The system consists of two main components:
- The Quooker tap – installed on your worktop (available in various styles and finishes).
- The Quooker tank – discreetly fitted inside your kitchen cabinet, keeping filtered boiling water ready to dispense instantly.
2. How Does a Quooker Tap Work?
The tap connects to an insulated tank stored beneath your sink. This tank keeps water under pressure at near-boiling temperature (around 110°C). When you activate the tap, the water is released instantly — no waiting, no wasted energy.
Many models also include filtered cold water and sparkling water options via the Quooker CUBE, turning your Quooker into a multi-function tap system.
3. Benefits of a Quooker Boiling Water Tap
a. Instant Convenience
Make tea, coffee, pasta, or sterilise bottles in seconds — no waiting for the kettle to boil.
b. Energy Efficiency
A Quooker uses less energy than repeatedly boiling a kettle, thanks to its vacuum-insulated tank that minimises heat loss.
c. Space-Saving Design
Eliminate your kettle and free up valuable counter space — perfect for minimalist or modern kitchens.
d. Safety First
Quooker taps feature child-proof double-push activation and a fine, aerated spray to prevent splashes or burns. Despite the temperature, they’re safer than kettles.
e. Stylish Designs
Available in finishes such as chrome, black, stainless steel, gold, and brass, Quooker taps complement a wide range of kitchen styles — from contemporary to classic.
f. Sustainable Choice
With a Quooker, you only use the water you need — helping reduce both water waste and energy consumption.
4. Types of Quooker Taps
Quooker Flex
The Quooker Flex is the only boiling water tap on the market with a flexible pull-out hose, giving you complete freedom and control in the kitchen. Ideal for rinsing the sink, cleaning vegetables, or filling pots that don’t fit under a fixed spout, it combines practicality with innovation.
The Flex features Quooker’s signature safety system, boiling water cannot be dispensed when the hose is pulled out, ensuring total peace of mind.
With its sleek design and functional versatility, the Quooker Flex is perfect for busy family kitchens or passionate home cooks who love effortless convenience.
Quooker Fusion
The Quooker Fusion brings together boiling, hot, and cold water all from one beautifully designed tap. With the option of a round or square spout, the Fusion is a perfect blend of style and simplicity, available in a range of premium finishes such as chrome, stainless steel, black, gold, and nickel.
Its single-tap functionality makes it ideal for minimalist or handleless kitchen designs, eliminating clutter around the sink area.
The Fusion combines sophisticated looks with everyday functionality, making it one of the most popular choices for UK homeowners seeking both form and function in one elegant design.
Quooker Nordic Twin Taps
For those who prefer a more traditional or symmetrical kitchen layout, the Quooker Nordic Twin Taps offer the perfect solution. This elegant set includes two matching taps, one dedicated to instant boiling water and the other providing hot and cold water.
The cohesive design ensures a coordinated look on your worktop, whether you opt for a polished chrome or brushed finish. Ideal for larger kitchens or classic design schemes, the Nordic Twin Taps add balance, style, and convenience, bringing professional-level practicality to your home.
Quooker Front Tap
The Quooker Front Tap is a bold, industrial-inspired addition to the Quooker collection. Featuring a front-mounted lever for easy operation and a minimalist cylindrical spout, this model is perfect for modern, architectural kitchens that favour clean lines and ergonomic design.
The front control makes it especially user-friendly when multitasking or cooking, while its refined finish options, including stainless steel and black, create a striking focal point. For homeowners who appreciate understated luxury and superior performance, the Front Tap delivers both.
Quooker CUBE Add-On
Turn your Quooker into a 4-in-1 tap with the Quooker CUBE add-on for filtered chilled and sparkling water. It’s the ultimate kitchen upgrade for those who value efficiency and luxury. Installed discreetly in the cabinet beneath your sink, the CUBE connects seamlessly to your existing Quooker tap to provide instant filtered and carbonated water on demand.
Perfect for eco-conscious households, it reduces the need for plastic bottles while offering bar-quality sparkling water at home. The Quooker CUBE truly redefines convenience — an ideal choice for contemporary UK kitchens.
