This amazing kitchen mixer tap can also replace your kettle! It's an instant boiling water tap from one of the leading hot tap brands, a well-established Dutch company which is the market leader in Holland. The company also specialises in heat pumps, solar systems and condensing boilers, so its kitchen engineering pedigree is well proven.

A multi-function 3-in-1 kitchen mixer tap, it's cleverly designed to deliver instant properly boiling water as well as your normal hot or cold water supply - all from one single insulated spout that looks much like any other designer monobloc kitchen mixer tap. So as well as being a modern kitchen mixer tap, it is also an extremely convenient cooking tool: immediately available steaming hot water means you can make tea, coffee and any hot drink as well as prepare soups and other food, disinfect kitchen utensils and accelarate your cooking chores dramatically.

As well as the mixer tap itself, you get a heating vessel storage unit that maintains 5 litres of boiling water in a super-insulated under-sink reservoir. The system is electrically powered and - surprising to many - it is also very energy efficient. In typical use, a family might draw hot water from this amazing tap between thirty and forty times a day, and actually save (compared to a kettle) up to £150 yearly annually. That you can get this level of convenience and enjoy savings over a kettle is a fantastic combination.

The spout comes in two designs: the rounded Dolce and squared Gusto, both available in stainless steel or chrome. The Itho H2OTAP can be installed both into an existing or new kitchen, and the storage heating unit is designed to fit under the plinth so it will not even reduce space in your kitchen cabinet.

It's also really easy to use. As you can see in the video, its pateneted push-turn knob design has a spring recoil to stop accidental flow of boiling water, and the insulated spout means it's always safe to touch, and completely child–friendly.
