Strengths and trade-offs
Franke Instante
What we like
- Current Franke 4-in-1: boiling, filtered, hot and cold from one tap
- Built-in filtration and tank included, no separate module needed
- Genuine 100°C boiling water
- Three-year Franke guarantee on the working parts, one year on the tap finish
Watch out for
- Filtered cold water, not actively chilled
- Narrow finish range at launch
- Newer model with a thinner independent-review record than the Omni it replaces
- Guarantee depends on the filter being replaced at the interval Franke specifies, and Franke asks for proof of cartridge purchases before it pays out
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
