A renovated kitchen and utility room deserve the latest appliances, we share our top 5 pieces no kitchen should be without.
1) The Quooker Cube
The Quooker CUBE is more than just a tap. It provides refreshing sparkling water on a warm summers day, a hot and strong black coffee first thing in the morning and everything in between. The Quooker tap is highly versatile, with the temperature of water varying from hot and cold, sparkling and filtered to 100°C boiling water. Each Quooker tap is equipt with the brands' unique and patented system consisting of a small tank that is linked to the boiling water tap on your kitchen worktop.Â
Each Quooker tap features an insulated spout and sturdy fitting, ensuring the tap is safer to use compared to a kettle as it can't be knocked or fall over. Quooker has developed a unique aerated water spray; that prevents burns as it's not a solid spray of boiling water like kettles and pans. The Quooker CUBE also includes a unique Hollow Fibre filter, removing bacteria from the water, making it as pure as fresh and tasty as bottled water purchased from any shop.
The Quooker CUBE system can be fitted to any Quooker tap.
