Not technically living up to their name, you may think.This model will also dispense filtered cold and filtered 100°C boiling water, and it’s available in three boiler tank choices: 2, 4 or 7 litres. The two-litre tank is good for up to four cups of boiling water, while the larger seven-litre option delivers around 14 cups’ worth.

For those who are style-conscious, it's available in two shapes and several finishes to complement your kitchen. In terms of safety, it has a push-lever safety mechanism to prevent accidents.

With the ability to produce not only regular hot and cold tap water, but also boiling and filtered drinking water, this tap will make your domestic life so much easier.

The water stays on once your hand has left the activation sleeve – a good thing for filling saucepans – and it gushes out pretty forcefully, which means it’s not ideal for pre-heating a small espresso cup. Most of these appliances make boiling water available at an instant, hence the name. It takes on average three minutes for a kettle to boil. If you have one cup of tea or coffee per day, that is 18 hours per year you are waiting for the kettle to be ready.

You pay a price for these features, but if you think you’d get the use out of them then it could be a good investment.
