75-98° instant filtered steaming hot water

Specifications:

• Best for: Optional energy-saving eco mode
• Tank capacity: 2.1 litres
• Temperature range: 75 - 98°C
• Finish: Chrome

Pros:

• Water conditioning filter
• Intelligent self-diagnostic control
• Slide and twist the safety lock hot handle

Cons:

• 7 minutes reboil after use
• Can operate with lower pressure of 0.8 Bar (Hot Only), but this may produce a slower flow rate.

This tap has an adjustable temperature range from 75 - 98°C, which is higher than some of the kettle taps on the market. It also incorporates a water conditioning filter, ensuring that your boiling water is free of sediment, odour and any unwanted particles. Like some of the other taps, this also requires the activation of a safety button to operate the boiling water function, ensuring safety for users.

The Abode Prothia excels at fitting multiple water needs into a single sleek unit. It gives you instant filtered boiling water (adjustable between 75–98 °C), plus regular hot and cold, all via one tap. 

Safety’s built in—its slide‑and‑twist handle and insulated, swivel spout protect against burns. Installation is cleaner and faster than usual: no drain needed, toolless fittings, and a compact boiler. Add to that a scale‑inhibiting filter, digital controls, and solid warranties (5 years for tap, 2 for boiler)—and it’s a highly efficient, stylish, and practical addition to a modern kitchen

The 2.1-litre boiler is compact, but it takes around 7 minutes to reheat after heavy use. Installation is easier than most, but still requires space for the tank under the sink. The boiling function includes safety features, but as with any hot water tap, there’s still a risk of scalding if misused. Regular filter replacements and descaling are also essential to keep it running efficiently.

Bestseller: you can't go wrong

The Reginox Tribezi stands out for its all‑in‑one convenience—it instantly delivers boiling, hot, and cold filtered water from a single, sleek fixture. It’s built tough with a premium brass body and comes in chrome, brushed nickel, or matt black finishes that resist smudges. Its insulated spout and handle add safety, while the under‑sink tank and filter simplify installation and reduce clutter. You get smart features like a digital temperature screen and adjustable heat settings, paired with a solid warranty, so it combines style, utility, and peace of mind.

The Reginox Tribezi 3-in-1 tap delivers instant boiling, hot, and cold water from a single unit, streamlining kitchen tasks like cooking and cleaning. Its cool-touch spout and child-safe handle design improve safety, while the integrated filter system enhances water quality. The digital boiler display with adjustable temperature control adds precision, and the sleek brass build with modern finish options complements contemporary kitchens.

The Reginox Tribezi tap needs a minimum water pressure of 1.5 bar, which may be an issue in low-pressure homes. The boiling water function requires space under the sink for the tank and filter system, so it may not suit compact installations. Regular maintenance, like filter changes and descaling, is essential to keep performance and water quality consistent. Also, while safety features are built-in, users should still handle the boiling function with care.

Where modern technology meets traditional design

Specifications:

• Best for: Traditional Design with Modern Technology.
• Tank capacity: 2.4 litres
• Temperature range:  75°C–98°C
• Finish: Chrome, Copper and Brass

Pros: 

• Versatile 3‑in‑1 function: Provides hot, cold, and instant filtered boiling water from one tap. The carbon rod filter removes calcium, magnesium, odours, and impurities. The boiler allows temperature settings from 75 °C to 98 °C.
• 360° swivel brass construction & child-safe design : Brass body with 360° swivel spout suits double‑ or 1.5‑bowl sinks. It includes a spring‑lock safety on the boiling‑water lever to reduce scald risk.

Cons:

• 2-year guarantee only
  Compared to similar taps that offer 5‑year warranties, this model comes with just a 2‑year guarantee. That could affect long‑term peace of mind.

The LSC Traditional Bridge Brushed Brass 3-in-1 Tap combines classic styling with modern convenience, delivering hot, cold, and instant boiling filtered water from one elegant fixture. Its solid brass construction and 360° swivel spout make it practical for various sink setups, while the built-in safety lock on the boiling water lever adds reassurance for busy kitchens. The adjustable boiler temperature range from 75 °C to 98 °C gives you flexibility for everything from tea and coffee to cooking tasks.

It delivers instant boiling water alongside standard hot and cold supplies, saving time on everyday kitchen tasks. The integrated carbon rod filter improves water taste by reducing calcium, magnesium, and impurities, while the 360° swivel spout provides flexibility for different sink layouts. Its safety lock feature helps prevent accidental dispensing of boiling water, making it practical as well as efficient.

The under-sink boiler takes up noticeable cupboard space, so storage may be reduced. It also requires a minimum water pressure of 1 bar to operate effectively, which may not suit all homes. Regular filter replacements are needed to maintain water quality, adding to ongoing upkeep.

The classic: You know what you are getting, and it is reliable!

Specifications:

• Best for: Reliability
• Tank capacity:  2.5L
• Temperature range: Up to 98ºC
• Finish: Chrome, Brushed Steel

Pros:

• Precise hot‑water control
  The Neo Tank offers an adjustable digital thermostat with a temperature range from 88°C to 99°C. You can fine‑tune your water temperature for tea, coffee, or cooking needs
• Compact but powerful tank
  The stainless steel 2.5‑litre tank stores enough near‑boiling water for about a dozen cups in one go, and fits neatly beneath the sink with minimal noise during operation.

Cons:

• High price tag
  The bundle is expensive—listed around £608 (down from £835)—making it a significant upfront investment.
• Limited warranty and pressure constraints
  It comes with only a 2‑year manufacturer’s guarantee and may require a pressure-reducing valve if your water pressure is above 8.6 bar. That’s extra hassle and cost in some cases.

We like the InSinkErator GN1100C with NeoTank because it delivers near‑boiling filtered water straight from the tap. The built‑in NeoTank holds 2.5 L of water and lets you set the temperature anywhere between 88 °C and 99 °C. It’s sleek, practical, and replaces the kettle with instant hot water at your fingertips.

It heats water quickly and quietly, thanks to its compact, efficient NeoTank. The smart digital thermostat keeps the temperature stable. Safety’s tight too—the hot lever has a spring lock that shuts off instantly when released. All filters sit inside the tank, so your water comes out clean and safe 

Watch for installation limits and maintenance. Water pressure must stay between 1.7 and 8.6 bar—anything above may need a pressure-reducing valve. Warranty covers two years, but wear parts are only guaranteed for six months. Replacing filters every six months is a must; otherwise, performance drops

Space saver

Specifications:

• Best for: Functionality
• Tank capacity: 2.5 litres
• Temperature range: 88 °C and 99 °C
• Finish: Chrome, Brushed Nickel and Matt Black

Pros:

• The tap provides filtered steaming‑hot, regular hot, and cold water—all from a single fixture. Its Velvet Black finish gives a modern, high‑end look that clears your countertop of kettles and filter jugs.
• The Neo Tank holds 2.5 litres—enough for about a dozen cups of near‑boiling water—and includes a child‑safe push‑lock on the lever. You get quick access to hot water with peace of mind

Cons:

• The system requires water pressure below 8.6 bar. If your supply runs higher, you’ll need a pressure‑reducing valve—an extra cost and installation step.
• The tap comes with a two‑year warranty, but moving parts only have six‑month coverage. That means you may be responsible for replacement parts or repairs sooner than expected. 

We like this tap for combining style and function. Its Velvet Black finish and elegant J‑shape give a sleek, modern look. It handles three water types—regular hot, cold, and instantly available steaming filtered water—all from a single fixture. That cuts countertop clutter and removes the need for a separate kettle or filter jug

It delivers near‑boiling water (up to 99 °C) via a compact Neo Tank with a digital thermostat. The safety‑lock lever automatically shuts off when released, helping prevent accidental burns. Installation is straightforward—tank is small enough for most cupboards, and all fittings come included. 

You need consistent water pressure between 1.7 bar and 8.6 bar—anything beyond that may require a pressure‑reducing valve. Filters must be replaced every six months to maintain performance, and the Neo Tank only carries a two‑year warranty (tap gets five).

Full of finishes

Specifications:

• Best for: Craftsmanship
• Tank capacity: 2.4 litres
• Temperature range: 75 °C and 98 °C
• Finish: Satin Brass, Bronze, Polished Brass, Aged Brass, Chrome. Gold, Pewter and Nickel. Please see more from the Perrin and Rowe Finishes range here.

Pros: 

• It lets you set precise temperatures between 75 °C and 99 °C, with digital control accurate to 0.5 °C. Useful for tea, coffee, or specific cooking needs.
• It operates from just 1.5 bar, includes an anti‑scald locking mechanism, and offers rapid reheating with zero run‑off and spit‑free delivery.

Cons:

• Perrin & Rowe taps are handcrafted and premium in finish, but that comes at a significant cost—this model is priced above many mainstream boiling‑water taps.
• If your water pressure exceeds 5 bar, you’ll need to install a pressure‑reducing valve. Also, parts like the digital tank and filters may demand more upkeep or replacement. 

We like this tap because it brings genuine luxury and craftsmanship to your kitchen. It’s handcrafted in the UK from low‑lead brass, plated thicker than standard for long-lasting durability and beauty. The traditional look blends classic design with modern functionality.

It delivers precise, near‑boiling water—preset between 75 °C and 98 °C—using a compact 2.4 L heater tank with a digital display. It starts working from low water pressure (as little as 1.5 bar) and uses advanced filtration to remove contaminants. Safety is built in with an anti‑scald lock and spit‑free, high-flow operation.

Lead time is long—expect 16–20 weeks before delivery. The maximum water pressure limit is just 3 bar, so make sure your system can meet that. Although it comes with a generous 5‑year guarantee against manufacturing defects, wear parts like valves or seals only get a 6‑month warranty.

Style that serves in three ways

Specifications:

• Best for: Versatility
• Tank capacity: 2.4 litres
• Temperature range: 75 °C and 98 °C
• Finish: Chrome

Pros:

• The tap delivers domestic hot and cold water, filtered chilled/room‑temp, and near‑boiling filtered water—all from one fixture. It pairs a polished chrome finish with a child-safe push‑down control mechanism for steaming water
• Pre-set temperature range of 75–99 °C and a WRAS-approved tank make it energy-efficient. The under-sink tank is compact and designed for efficient use—promising lower running costs compared to boiling water with a kettle.

Cons:

• Only a 2‑year manufacturing guarantee is offered, with moving parts covered for just 6 months. Plus, it needs a specific water pressure (1–4 bar), which may require additional plumbing if your household water pressure lies outside that range. 
• The tank is most efficient when left on continuously. Regularly switching it off risks higher running costs and potential shortening of the heating element’s lifespan.

It blends classic design with modern convenience. The tap delivers four functions—domestic hot and cold, plus filtered near‑boiling water—all from a single fixture. Its polished chrome finish and clean lines give your kitchen a sleek, functional upgrade.

It works effectively within a wide pressure range (1–4 bar) and fits easily into most standard kitchens—a 13A plug powers its under‑sink tank (230 × 230 × 310 mm). It includes a ceramic‑disc valve for smooth handling, and a water filtration kit with cartridge to reduce impurities

It comes with only a one-year manufacturer’s warranty (six months on moving parts), and not covering installation errors or wear and tear. If your plumbing runs above 4 bar, you’ll need a pressure reducer. Also, the heating tank needs its own power feed and space under the sink.

One tap. Endless Convenience. 

Specifications:

• Best for: Versatility
• Tank capacity: 2.4 litres
• Temperature range: 98 °C
• Finish: Chrome, Black, Brass

Pros:

• Pull‑out spout adds reach for rinsing and filling, while delivering multiple functions in one tap.
• Solid brass build with spring‑loaded safety lock, and a compact tank that saves under‑sink space.

Cons:

• Requires water pressure within 0.5–5 bar; systems outside that range may need a regulator
• The system includes a filter that must be replaced every 6 months to maintain performance.

We like the Astini Grande because it delivers hot, cold, and boiling water—all from one sleek, modern pull-out mixer. Its clean chrome finish and smooth swivel spout balance contemporary styling with practical functionality. 

It mixes style with substance: you get instant boiling water plus regular hot and cold flows, supported by a ceramic valve for durability. It comes with a water filtration kit and a powerful swivel spout—all under a 15-year guarantee on defects (6 months for moving parts), making it dependable and long-lasting.

Make sure your water pressure sits between 1 bar and 3 bar—anything higher needs a pressure reducer. The pull-out design adds convenience but takes up more under-sink space. Also, wear-and-tear parts only carry a six-month warranty. 

Here's why the Astini Bollitore 3‑in‑1 Boiling‑Hot Water Kitchen Tap & Tank Kit stands out as our top choice:

It combines three functions—ambient hot, cold, and instant boiling (98 °C)—in a single, sleek mixer tap. The solid brass, swivel spout design looks stylish and integrates well into modern kitchens. Safety comes built-in via a child‑safe spring lock and anti‑splash aerator. 

The kit includes a 2.4-litre under‑sink tank and a filtration system, so you're replacing kettles and filter jugs with less clutter and instant convenience. It's eco‑friendly too—it heats only what you use, reducing waste and energy.

There’s a strong peace‑of‑mind factor: the tap comes with a 15‑year manufacturer’s guarantee against defects, and the tank is covered for 2 years. That long‑term coverage is rare at this price point.

On balance, it's a smart pick if you want seamless functionality, quality build, and long-term support from a single fixture. Let me know if you'd like help comparing it with similar models or unpacking installation details.
