If we’ve learnt anything over the last few years, it’s to make time to look after our health and wellbeing. And as the kitchen is where we refuel and hydrate our bodies, it’s an integral part of looking after ourselves. Embracing new innovations in the kitchen that can help us achieve our health and wellbeing goals, which is one of the reasons hot taps and filter taps are on the rise.
A large part of our well-being comes from drinking plenty of water, so we want it to taste good and contain minimal impurities. That’s why many of us drink bottled mineral water or use a filter jug.
However, using a filter tap gives you clean, good-tasting water at the simple push of a handle. This is a huge bonus in itself, but it also helps us reduce our dependency on single-use plastics and eliminates the need to keep a jug topped up. Filtering water straight from the tap also reduces the build-up of limescale in our small appliances such as kettles and coffee makers.

Another big part of wellbeing in the kitchen is cooking up fresh, healthy meals from scratch. Our busy lifestyles can make this difficult. But using kitchen gadgets such as hot water taps can help. On top of your normal hot and cold supply, a hot tap gives you an instant steaming water supply that can be used for boiling vegetables and other goodies on your hob. No more waiting for the kettle to boil, simply fill your pan from the tap. This means you can streamline your kitchen space and your cooking.
But a hot water tap isn’t just handy for cooking. It gives you the ideal 98°C temperature for brewing tea. So, while it can’t guarantee you a peaceful day, it can help you savour that moment of calm with your favourite herbal or traditional cup of tea.
And a combined filter and hot water tap gives you the best of both worlds. Instant steaming hot water for drinks and cooking, and filtered water for your glass or flask. Creating an all-round improvement to our kitchen environment and helping us to help ourselves.
