HOT TAPS

A boiling water tap is a much more permanent addition to your kitchen than a conventional kettle or plug-in hot water dispenser, as it needs to be plumbed in alongside or instead of your standard kitchen sink taps.

The main advantage is that they provide hot water much more quickly and easily than a kettle. They also make it much easier to add just the amount of water you need – you simply keep the tap on until your mug or pan is full, and no further – so there shouldn’t be any wasted water. Manufacturers claim that boiling water taps use much less energy and water than a kettle and therefore cost less.
