Would you recommend your boiling water tap?

[lunar1]

I am looking to get one fitted and was wondering how people find them, are they truly boiling water or am I condemning myself to awful cups of tea forever more?

Which brand do people have and would you buy the same again given the choice?

We have a Hydrotap at work, just googled it and it's £5k to buy. Works really well though!

Because always hot kettles are crap and quookers are not crap

We have a Quettle. I'm a huge tea and coffee drinker and wouldn't be without it. Never noticed a difference in taste to be honest.

I've a Franke one, also dispenses at 100. With tea I use the 'starter' water to heat the cup then when it starts 'spitting' make the brew then

Do quookers cost a lot to run? I sort of assumed they would do as the water has to stay boiling but maybe not?

We have the insinkerator. It doesn't cost alot to run, the tank boils every now and then. Not noticed any increase and we've got a smart metre. Water comes out very hot! Lovely addition to the kitchen

Quooker owner here too. It’s great and I have had it 6 years, no problems. Ridiculously expensive mind you!

Quooker here and love it, would not be without it

We have the Quooker too, and absolutely love it. I'm a real "tea jenny" and it's fantastic.

Ours also does the sparkling chilled water too, brilliant for DH who loves fizzy water. The tank things take up a bit of room in the cupboards though. I'd definitely get another one if we moved house.

@notapizzaeater we were looking at a Franke one. What do they cost if you don’t mind me asking?
We have a hot tap at work. It’s ok, only broke down once in 4 years, it’s high use for 100 staff.

@LadyGaGasPokerFace was about 2 years ago, paid about £800

I have a Pronteau, it’s been in a few months and so far so good

Super. We were looking at these yesterday as our kitchen tap has broken. It’s got a slow leak, so hoping to either change the tap or add a hot tap.
Thank you @notapizzaeater

If you’re a tea drinker get a Reginox , much cheaper than others and makes a great cup of tea

Got kitchen done a year ago and got a beautiful brushed brass quooker tap. It came wrapped in a lovely pink blanket like a weirdly shaped but very precious newborn. It is fabulous. I feel like a tap wanker every time I use it but I don't care. Best.thing.ever.

grin tap wanker.that feeling doesn’t go!

Well, that's informative. Perhaps you would like to expand on why you think always hot kettles are 'crap'.

We have a quooker and the tea is not filmy at all. We live in a hard water area but have a water softener unit that does all the water in the house, so no limescale issues.

Oh and we also have the 'cube' that goes with it. So we have instant boiling water, instant chilled still water and instant chilled sparkling water.

Looks like a quooker it is then! Thank you everyone, I'll be one step closer on deck uttering my kitchen worktop.

I don't know how autocorrect did that. I meant decluttering!
