Ellsi 3 in 1 Instant Boiling Hot Water Dispenser Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap with Tank & Filter - Matt Black

Product Information

The unobtrusive 2.5 litre tank fits easily under a sink to supply water at all temperatures, and all hot water that comes out is filtered, too. For those who are style-conscious, it's available in two shapes and several finishes to complement your kitchen. In terms of safety, it has a push-lever safety mechanism to prevent accidents. Its best quality is by the far its adjustable thermostat, making it the best boiling water tap for temperature control. 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. We liked that you can choose from either a 3 litre or 5.5 litre boiler, depending on requirements. You will, however, need space in your kitchen cupboard to allow for this option to be installed. If you’re a fan of only drinking bottled water, a tap with an inbuilt filter could also help you save money from your weekly supermarket shop, as well as reducing your plastic use. How fast will the tap heat my water? It is a stylish – and child friendly – design, and has great functionality. Also suitable for use as a regular hot and cold tap, this piece of kit will replace the kettle and revolutionise your current sink set-up.

There are also some which produce fizzy carbonated water too, but these are rarer. You pay a price for these features, but if you think you’d get the use out of them then it could be a good investment. Safety Without a doubt, cooking is made easy with the Quooker Fusion Round Chrome Pro3vaq Boiling Water Tap. To begin with, it supplies 100°C boiling water. As a result, you get a head start even when you have to use the burner for cooking. Not only that, it allows you access to warm and cold water. Consequently, it is the only tap you need in your kitchen. Boiling water taps provide households with the luxury of instant hot water without the need to use any kettles or add to household bills from boiler use. Some can act as just a kettle separate to your ordinary tap, and some are all-in-one, replacing your existing one. Like the Quooker, water is steaming hot and it gushes out, which doesn’t make it a great choice for heating small items, though it’s perfectly safe for filling a tea or coffee mug (a separate model with a progressive valve is also available for the same price). The hot water continues to run even when you take your hand off the controls, which is handy when filling a large saucepan as it allows you to use both hands to hold the pan steady.

The best boiling water taps you can buy in 2023

Waiting for the kettle to boil or having to pre-filter your water/buy bottled water will be a thing of the past. The filter will also prevent limescale building up on the boiler, and you will only have to replace it every 6-9 months (depending on your water type). The LED built in to the tap will let you know when the filter needs attention. It has the ability to produce 2.4L of water every minute, so if you are having to boil several pans-worth of vegetables or pasta, hot water is available at the operation of a lever. Instant hot water taps are an increasingly popular choice when it comes to upgrading a kitchen, cutting down the time it takes for everyday tasks. But before choosing a new instant boiling water tap, take a look at some of these frequently asked questions to help you choose the right option. You will likely use boiling water from the kettle quite a lot during an average day. Not only is it needed for hot beverages, but also if you want to prepare and clean food. Then think about the amount of time you spend standing around waiting for the water to boil?

The second you take your finger off the button, the water stops. However there is a pot-filling function that delivers up to 3 litres of near-boiling water in 60 seconds without keeping your finger on the button. Testers have remarked that it runs slower than expected and it’s true that that’s half the speed of your regular hot tap. The Dutch-designed Quooker was the first ever boiling water tap. It delivers true 100°C boiling water. If money’s no object, you can double down and add a Quooker Cube, which dispenses sparkling and still chilled water from the same tap too. With the ability to turn 360°, you have full water control, whether you want to use it as a regular tap over the sink or prepare a cup of tea on the bench. Quooker, also, does not use boiler technology, but instead uses a unique patented vacuum flask tank, which holds water under pressure at 110°C, so that it is dispensed at a consistent true 100°C boiling. Convenience is the main reason people buy boiling water taps. Treat energy-efficiency as a nice bonus.

Don't bother putting the kettle on - the best boiling water taps will fix you a brew in a heartbeat

So, if you boil a kettle twice a day on average, a boiling water tap will cost less in the long run. This is because the boilers are small, well insulated and very energy-efficient. However, if you include the cost of the unit plus installation, a kettle will almost always be cheaper.
