The tap that does it all
A Quooker system consists of a tap on the countertop and at least one tank for boiling water under the countertop. Want to get cool filtered and sparkling water from your tap, too? Then another tank will be added: the Quooker CUBE.
How a Quooker works
A Quooker system consists of a faucet on the countertop and at least one reservoir for 100°C boiling water under the countertop. The reservoir is as well insulated as a thermos; the heat has nowhere to go. As a result, very little energy (10 watts) is needed to keep the water in the reservoir at temperature. The reservoir is connected to the water supply. When you draw boiling water from the tap, fresh water immediately flows into the reservoir under the sink.
Want to get cool filtered and sparkling water from your faucet, too? Then you'll need another reservoir: the Quooker CUBE.
Seven reasons to buy a Quooker
Nothing wrong with the good old electric kettle or whistling kettle. But when you list all the advantages of the Quooker, there's no competition. This is why a Quooker adds so much to your household.
1. Tasty
How does it taste? Well.. An active carbon filter in the tank purifies every delivery of boiling water. Furthermore, because the tank keeps it under pressure, it remains constantly fresh. This technology keeps the water hot without needing to use much energy, which translates to very minimal running costs. The Quooker CUBE is fitted with a Hollow Fibre filter and an Active Carbon filter that removes any bacteria from the water, giving you instantly chilled, fresh water every time.
2. Energy efficient
Anyone who needs boiling water several times a day will not use more energy with a Quooker than with a kettle. With a Quooker COMBI tank (which provides both boiling and hot water all from a cold feed), you can even save energy. This is the first ‘boiler’ in the world with high-vacuum insulation, using 50 percent less energy than a household boiler. As the most energy-efficient hot water supply for the kitchen, the Quooker COMBI has an energy rating of A. Make your purchase even more sustainable by adding a Quooker CUBE that makes plastic water bottles redundant.
3. Versatile
A Quooker Is a kitchen appliance that can be used for a multitude of tasks. Whether it is tea or coffee, blanching vegetables or sterilising baby bottles or even cleaning dirty pans, the Quooker can do it all! With the Quooker Flex, which is equipped with an extendable hose, rinsing your sink or cleaning that chopping board just became even easier. The Quooker is also a great choice If you’re looking to maximise work-top space and be rid of unsightly wires!
4. Safe
With a Quooker it‘s impossible to turn the boiling on accidentally. It requires a double- push and turn on an inconspicuous ring mechanism, which is completely separate from the regular cold and hot. The water is injected with air, and so is a fine spray which ensures the avoidance of accidental scalds or burns. Quookers have a double insulated spout, and so are cool to the touch, unlike kettles. Last but not least, you cannot accidentally knock, tip or ‘spill’ a Quooker as one can with a kettle or pan of boiling water.
5. Space saving
Do you have a small kitchen? A Quooker saves precious space on your worktop. The space occupied by a kettle can be freed up to slice, knead and chop. And because the tank is so compact, there’s still usable space under your worktop or in your kitchen cupboard.
6. Water efficient
We all know it’s important to be economical with water and yet, so many households unnecessarily waste it both in small amounts – for example if you boil twice as much water as you need – but also in larger amounts, when you let the tap run for a while until the water heats up. A Quooker helps you prevent wastage like this. With a Quooker CUBE, which also dispenses cool sparkling and filtered water, you also save on plastic water bottles!
7. Time saving
The average person spends four months of their life waiting for a kettle to boil – but with Quooker, you’ll never have to wait for your kettle to boil again! Once installed, the Quooker will undoubtedly become your most used appliance in the kitchen. As the boiling tank is constantly replenishing, you’ll always have instant, fresh boiling water on tap. With our CUBE accessory, you will also have filtered chilled and sparkling water at your fingertips, meaning less supermarket trips for bottled water!

The safest choice for every household
‘Boiling water, straight from the tap. Is that safe?‘ That’s the most frequently asked question about Quooker. Our response is that the Quooker is the safest choice for every household.
In 2020, the Dutch Burns Foundation conducted research into the use of boiling water taps and the risk of burns. The study concluded that the boiling water tap as a replacement for the kettle, appears to reduce the risk of a burn accident.
The flow of water is not a solid jet
The safe handle and the illuminated light ring make this unlikely, but imagine for a second that you are holding your hands under the flow of boiling water. You’d pull your hands back before you get badly burned because the boiling-water flow, while hot, is a not solid stream of water. It is made of fine drops; a huge difference to the solid jet of water that will hit you if the kettle falls over. That could cause serious burns in a single instant.
An insulated, rotatable tap
To further decrease the risk of burns, the Quooker taps are equipped with a couple of subtle features. For example, they have a rotatable spout that you can aim precisely, for example when you are filling a jug or a pan. The spout is well insulated in all models, meaning that you won’t run the risk of burning yourself after operating the Quooker.
The child-safe handle
A sophisticated safety system ensures that a Quooker will never automatically dispense boiling water. You first have to press the handle twice and then turn it. It is only then that boiling water flows from the tap. This system has been extensively tested. The complex press-turn movement means that the risk of ‘accidentally’ turning the boiling-water tap on is very small. This helps to protect young, curious children. In addition, the button has a light ring that illuminates while the tap is on to warn the user: warning, I’m dispensing boiling water!
Quookers cannot tip over
Quookers are firmly affixed to the work surface, meaning they cannot tip over. A kettle, however, can tip over, as can a pan of water on the hob. These two cause the vast majority of accidents with boiling water. They can be caused, for example, by young children grabbing hold of the loose kettle cord and pouring the water over themselves, or by you bumping into the hob. Accidents of this kind are simply impossible with a Quooker in your home.
