Quooker: The Tap That Does It All

Quooker is a revolutionary kitchen appliance that combines the convenience of instant boiling water with the versatility of filtered chilled and sparkling water, all from a single tap. Invented by Henri Peteri in 1970, the Quooker has since become a game-changer in the world of kitchen design and functionality.

The Quooker System

At the heart of the Quooker system is a compact tank installed under the kitchen sink, connected to the water mains and the tap on the worktop. This vacuum-sealed thermos tank keeps water at a constant temperature of 110°C, ready to be dispensed as 100°C boiling water whenever needed.

When the boiling water function is activated, an aerated stream of 100°C water instantly flows from the tap, thanks to Quooker’s unique patented technology. The aeration process prevents the water from splattering or scalding, making it safe to use.

Chilled and Sparkling Water with the Quooker CUBE

To take the Quooker system to the next level, the CUBE can be added as an optional accessory. This separate unit connects to the main Quooker tank and provides filtered chilled and sparkling water.

The CUBE contains cooling elements and two filters that chill and purify the water, delivering perfectly cool, great-tasting water straight from the tap. With the addition of a CO2 cylinder, the CUBE can also dispense refreshing sparkling water at the push of a button.

Stylish and Practical Tap Designs

Quooker offers a range of tap designs to suit every kitchen style and preference. The collection includes:Fusion

• Sleek and minimalist design
• Available in round and square spouts

Each tap model is designed with safety in mind, featuring a child-safe handle that requires a deliberate double-press before turning to activate the boiling water function.

Efficiency and Sustainability

One of the key advantages of the Quooker system is its efficiency and eco-friendliness. By providing instant boiling water, the Quooker eliminates the need for repeatedly boiling a kettle, saving time, energy, and water.

Traditional kettles often waste water by overfilling, with studies showing that the average British adult buys more than three plastic water bottles every week. With a Quooker CUBE, the need for bottled water is significantly reduced, helping to minimize plastic waste.Moreover, the Quooker tank is highly insulated, requiring just 10 watts of energy to maintain the water temperature, making it an energy-efficient choice for the modern kitchen.

Safety and Convenience

Safety is a top priority in the design of the Quooker system. The fixed tap on the worktop eliminates the risk of a falling kettle, and the aerated boiling water stream prevents scalding. The child-safe handle adds an extra layer of protection for families with young children.

The convenience of having instant boiling water at your fingertips cannot be overstated. Tasks like making a cup of tea, cooking pasta or vegetables, or filling a saucepan become effortless and time-saving. The Quooker’s versatility extends to cleaning and disinfecting, as the 100°C water can be used to sterilize baby bottles, clean surfaces, and more.

Installation and Maintenance

Installing a Quooker system is a straightforward process that can be carried out by a plumber or a dedicated Quooker engineer. The tank can be installed as part of a new kitchen or retrofitted into an existing space.

Maintaining the Quooker is easy, with the tank being fully serviceable and built to the highest standards. The tank can be opened and rinsed out periodically to ensure optimal performance.

Choosing the Right Quooker for Your Kitchen

When selecting a Quooker system for your kitchen, consider your specific needs and preferences. The Quooker range offers a variety of models to suit different kitchen sizes and design styles.

For most family homes, the Pro3 tank with a 3-litre capacity is sufficient, while the Pro7 with a 7-litre capacity is ideal for larger kitchens. The Quooker Combi is a 7-litre tank that also heats warm water for homes with low water pressure.

Conclusion

The Quooker is more than just a kitchen appliance; it’s a revolution in convenience, efficiency, and sustainability. By combining instant boiling water with filtered chilled and sparkling water, the Quooker simplifies daily tasks and reduces waste.

With its stylish designs, safety features, and energy-efficient technology, it’s no wonder the Quooker has become an indispensable part of the modern kitchen. Whether you’re renovating your kitchen or looking to upgrade your current setup, the Quooker is a worthy investment that will transform the way you use your kitchen.
