Hot water taps

[MoreSleeepPlease]

Hi All, just redoing our kitchen, young family home (2kids), trying to decide if we have a hot water tap and if so which brand. Quooker seem to extortionate so been looking at Fohen, any recommendations for or against having one and brands to buy/avoid?

thanks 😊

Searching for a hot water dispenser for your kitchen? Our guide to the best hot water dispensers is up to date with a wide range of options tried and tested options. We hope it’s helpful!

We have a Qettle and love it. It is actually boiling, rather than 98-99 degrees like some taps.

We had a Quooker at work and from the time it was installed we had teas and coffees which were never quite hot enough- ended up using the kettle.

I have an Insinkerator which is great and looks lovely, but i don't think there are many engineers if it were to go wrong.

We have the Qettle and love it, we've had it maybe 9 months now. Make sure you get one that's actually boiling, which I think is just the Qettle and the Quooker.

In truth they're pricey and not actually worth the money, but we did it as part of a larger build and are very glad we did. The flow from the boiling tap had slowed so we changed (cleaned? Dunno, DH did it) the filter and now it's back to full pressure.

Quooker here, had it for years, water is definitely boiling. MIL got something cheaper and hers is just hot water and it’s been a complete waste of money.

It must be at least 4 weeks since we had the last hot water dispenser thread.

Everyone must be tapped out.

Thanks most will look into Quettle now.

@GasPanic just move on if the thread isn’t for you, no need for sarky unhelpful comments. I searched through the last few months in posts and didn’t find any on HW taps.

Love our qettle. Also like the way it is designed so that when you need to service it or fit eg a new valve, you can order the part on the website yourself , they send it in the post with tools, and you dont need a plumber or expensive engineer. Just crack on by watching videos on their site.

@Fluffygoon a Quooker is definitely boiling hot so I don't know what the issue was with the one in your office. I have had a "hot water tap" which got to 96 degrees and now have the Quooker which is most definitely boiling water.

The one thing I love about the Quooker is that you can turn on the normal tap with cold water and then engage the boiling water tap so you get very hot water to be able to clean things like a pan without having to run perfectly clean drinking water down the drain until the hot tap gets hot. I am unsure if the other taps do this but I didn't know Quooker did it until I visited my friend and she did it with hers. I like that I can control the temperature mix rather than some boiling water and some cold and trying to get it so I don't scold my hands.

I had my hot water tap for 8 years then the Quooker for the last 2. Love them.

I'm a Qettle fan. Boiling water, not 98-99 degrees. We have filtered water too, as well as hot and cold.

Looks Stylish too.

I have a fohen one, it's fine. I don't drink normal tea so don't need true boiling, I can set it to 85 degrees for my Chai and my coffee and that does me fine.
If I was a tea drinker or regularly had a tea drinker visiting then I might have gone for a true boiling one.
