What we like

  • Period styling for a dedicated boiling tap, including a nickel finish
  • Adds 100°C boiling without replacing a much-loved classic mixer
  • Same PRO3 tank and genuine 100°C boil as the rest of the range

Watch out for

  • Boiling water only, so it does not replace your mixer tap
  • £1,050 for boiling alone is premium against a 3-in-1
  • Three finishes only: chrome, stainless steel or nickel
