Looking to upgrade your kitchen with the latest in smart, energy-efficient technology? The Quooker boiling water tap could be exactly what you need. Designed to deliver instant 100°C boiling water straight from the tap, it combines convenience, safety, and energy savings—all in one sleek solution.
Let’s break down what makes this innovative tap so revolutionary.
💧 What Is a Quooker Tap?
Think of the Quooker as a cross between:
- A boiling kettle
- A water purifier
- A thermos flask
- And a height-adjustable kitchen tap
Installed directly on your kitchen worktop, the Quooker tap is connected to a highly insulated tank hidden under the sink. This tank stores up to 3 litres of water at 110°C, keeping it ready for instant use. Thanks to its vacuum insulation, the tank is cool to the touch and uses minimal energy to maintain temperature—just 3p per day on average!
When you activate the childproof push-and-turn tap, boiling water is dispensed instantly through a fine spray—designed to be safer than a jet of hot water and to minimise risk of scalding.
⚡ 5 Reasons to Love the Quooker Tap
✅ 1. Energy Efficient
Only heat what you need. Unlike kettles—which are often overfilled and reboiled—Quooker uses vacuum insulation to keep water hot continuously with minimal energy usage. It’s one of the most efficient ways to access boiling water on demand.
✅ 2. Safer for Families
Traditional kettles cause thousands of burns each year, especially in homes with children. The Quooker offers a childproof safety handle, double-insulated tap housing, and a fine spray to reduce the chance of injury. It’s securely mounted too—so no tipping or knocking over.
✅ 3. Saves Water
Because you only use the exact amount of boiling water needed, there’s zero waste. No more pouring unused hot water down the sink.
✅ 4. Space-Saving Design
The Quooker replaces the need for a kettle, freeing up your worktop. Its under-sink tank is compact, preserving valuable cupboard space while delivering high performance.
✅ 5. Time-Saving Convenience
With instant boiling water, meal prep is faster. Whether you’re making tea, sterilising bottles, cooking pasta, or blanching vegetables, there’s no more waiting for the kettle to boil.
🛠️ How Does It Work?
At the heart of the Quooker system is a pressurised tank that keeps water at 110°C. When released through the tap, it instantly reaches boiling point due to pressure drop. The water exits as a controlled fine mist, never exceeding 0.05 litres per second, ensuring both efficiency and safety.
☕ What Can You Use It For?
- Quick cups of tea and coffee
- Sterilising baby bottles
- Blanching vegetables
- Boiling pasta, noodles, or eggs
- Speeding up meal prep
- Even cleaning stubborn residue from dishes!
The Quooker tap is a modern must-have for any busy kitchen—and it’s a smart, long-term investment for energy-conscious homes.
