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
- 5-year manufacturer guarantee, longer than most rivals
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
Quooker Nordic Round Twintaps
What we like
- Boiling tap and matching mixer supplied as one coordinated set
- Dedicated boiling spout, so no risk of an accidental boiling dispense from the mixer
- Choice of PRO3, COMBI or COMBI+ tank
Watch out for
- Needs worktop space and two tap holes
- Two finishes: polished chrome or stainless steel
- Steeper than a single 3-in-1 that covers the same functions
