Quooker - the tap that does it all
If you’re a regular visit to our blog, then you probably already know what the Quooker tap is. And, if you’re not, my guess is that you’ve definitely heard of it, at least, right?
With so many of our customers opting for a Quooker, we thought it would be really helpful to blog about it, especially if you’re still deciding whether or not to ditch the kettle and move towards to ‘the tap that does it all’, instead.
So, with a Quooker in your home, you always have cold, hot, 100’C boiling, cool sparkling and filtered water at your fingertips, straight from the tap.
Let’s take a look at the benefits:
Time Saving
With a Quooker, you never need to wait for water to boil. It is available instantly, saving you time on days when you are trying out complicated recipes and particularly on days when you are busy with work, school, sport and clubs. Saving time is always good. You can make a cup of tea within 3 seconds of using the boiling water function - easy peasy.
Energy Efficient
Anyone who needs boiling water several times a day will not use more energy with a Quooker than with a kettle. With a Quooker COMBI tank (which provides both boiling and hot water all from a cold feed), you can even save energy. This is the first ‘boiler’ in the world with high-vacuum insulation, using 50 percent less energy than a kitchen boiler. As the most energy - efficient hot water supply for the kitchen, the Quooker COMBI has an energy rating of A. Make your purchase even more sustainable by adding a Quooker CUBE that makes plastic water bottles redundant.
Water Efficient
We all know it’s important to be economical with water and yet, so many households unnecessarily waste it both in small amounts - for example, if you boil twice as much water as you need - but also in larger amounts, when you let the tap run for a while until the water heats up. A Quooker helps you prevent wastage like this. Again, with a Quooker CUBE, which also dispenses cool sparkling and filtered water, you also save on plastic water bottles - just fill up a reusable bottle each morning, instead of buying it out!
Space Saving
Do you have a small kitchen? A Quooker saves on precious space on your worktop. The space occupied by a kettle can be freed up to slice, knead and chop! And, because the tank is so compact, there’s still usable space under your worktop or in your kitchen cupboard. Also, adding a Quooker tap to your kitchen can give then overall design of your kitchen a sleek and modern feel.
5. Versatile
Make a quick pot of tea. Make filter coffee. Cook pasta. Blanche asparagus. Prepare a bottle of milk for a baby. Pre-heat dinner plate. Rinse that dirty casserole dish. You will be amazed by what you will use your Quooker for, including the things you might not even have bought it for. And, with the Quooker Flex, with its extendable hose, rinsing your sink or cleaning that chopping board, just became easier.
6. Tasty
Enjoy fresh boiling water every day. An active carbon filter in the tank purifies the water. Furthermore, because the tank keeps it at a temperature of 110 degrees, it is always fresh. This reduces the calcium level, helping to bring out the taste of tea. The Quooker CUBE is also fitted with a Hollow Fibre filter that removes any bacteria from the water. This gives you the best possible water quality.
7. Innovative
The Quooker was the world’s first boiling water tap. It was invented in the Netherlands in the 1970s by Henri Peteri. The patented high-vacuum insulation in the tank, which keeps the water a constant temperature in an energy - efficient way, has prompted a revolution in many kitchens. Quooker now have 15 patents, which may only be used by them. The Quooker is still manufactured in the company’s own factory in the Netherlands, where they work every day on technical ideas and design solutions to make the products even more efficient, even easier to use, and even more attractive!
8. Safe
‘Boiling water, straight from the tap. Is that safe?’ A frequent question asked. And, Quooker’s response?
Quooker is the safest choice for every household. They have already installed over 500,000 Quookers around the world, with a number of important safety features, including a childproof handle. The tap’s entire spout is insulated, swivels and is even height adjustable on selected models. When boiling water is being used, a lamp lights up. The flow of water is delivered as an aerated spray, not a solid jet, preventing the risk of serious scalds or burns. And, perhaps most importantly, a Quooker can’t fall over, unlike a kettle or a pan.
