Strengths and trade-offs

Fohen Modena Digital 100

What we like

  • Genuine 100°C dispense, rare in the Fohen range
  • 2 kW digital boiler with an eco mode to 60°C
  • Larger 2.5L tank than the Pro range
  • Published power and flow-rate figures

Watch out for

  • Only a 1-year standard warranty
  • A 3-in-1, fewer functions than the 4-in-1 Pro taps
  • Fohen notes the digital display is not very bright
  • Dispensed temperature can dip below 100°C

Quooker Nordic Round Single Tap

What we like

  • Dedicated 100°C boiling tap that adds to your existing mixer
  • Child-safe handle: press twice and turn before boiling water flows
  • Insulated, rotatable tap body that never dispenses a solid boiling jet
  • Choice of PRO3, COMBI or COMBI+ tank

Watch out for

  • Boiling water only, so it does not replace your mixer tap
  • Two finishes: polished chrome or stainless steel
