Boiling-water taps: small feature, daily luxury
Quooker and its rivals turn the kettle into history — 100°C water on demand, plus filtered, chilled and sparkling options. Here is how to choose the right tap and design it in properly.
What can a cooker tap do?
At minimum: true boiling water on demand for pans, pasta and tea. Depending on model: filtered drinking water, chilled and sparkling water, and mixer duties — one elegant tap replacing a kettle, a filter jug and half your worktop clutter.
Why customers never go back
Speed
Pasta water in seconds; the kettle never boils again.
Safety
Child-safe push-and-turn controls and insulated spouts as standard on leading models.
Space
No kettle, no filter jug — clear worktop and a cleaner sink zone.
Efficiency
Insulated tanks mean you heat what you use, not a full kettle every time.
Space & installation requirements
Budget cupboard space for the tank (and a CUBE or filter where chosen), a socket under the sink, and worktop drilling planned at templating stage. Small details — but exactly the ones that go wrong when the tap is an afterthought.
Choosing well
Finish and shape should match your handles and lighting; capacity should match your household; and the sink zone should be designed around the tap you actually want. We compare the options with you, impartially, as part of the kitchen design.

★★★★★Beau Bijou have designed 2 kitchens for us and each time we’ve been delighted. One large kitchen and one smaller space — both just perfect for our needs.Christine Keighley, West Yorkshire Replacement kitchen
★★★★★The design Richard did for me was far better than my kitchen shop’s, and I saved £800 on my worktops using their trade account. My fitter loved the plans too — so easy to read.Luke Leeds, West Yorkshire Independent design
★★★★★I never thought about using a designer for my kitchen until I found Beau Bijou. After 3 designs by retailers, the difference was amazing and the recommendations saved me a lot of money.Samantha Orpington, Greater London Remote design
★★★★★Richard spent a long time talking me through all the options. The designs were better than I’d hoped — really amazing. My Calacatta gold quartz worktops are beautiful. So happy!Carol West Yorkshire Replacement kitchen
