The fabulous Quooker Fusion

Quooker’s 100°C kicks the kettle out of the kitchen

If you want to make your kitchen as time, energy and water efficient as possible, you will probably have spent some time researching boiling water taps. 

Hopefully you will have realised that they are by no means all the same.  

For a start, if the water from your boiling water tap isn’t actually boiling, you’ll be wasting your money.   To replace a kettle – which ideally you want to do in order to free up worktop space, save time and make your kitchen safer – the tap you choose must dispense boiling water at a full 100°C. Otherwise it just won’t replace the kettle.

That all important 100°C ensures that a Quooker is the perfect helper for so many kitchen tasks; from preparing hot drinks and speeding up cooking; to sterilizing baby bottles; aiding household tasks; and filling flasks for refreshment on the go.

From deciding you would like a cup of tea to actually having it in the cup takes about 10 seconds with a Quooker, versus three minutes (if you don’t get distracted and have to repeat the process) with a kettle. 

There are a lot of good reasons to make sure you choose a Quooker – and only a Quooker. 

The technology that is used in Quooker products is patented and is only used in the Quooker range. Because the Quooker tank stores water under pressure at 110°C, it is always available for immediate use at a genuine 100°C. It’s pointless to purchase a tap that can’t do this, which is why we believe that only a Quooker is good enough.

Every tap in our range delivers 100°C – even the Quooker Fusion which also delivers hot and cold water too.  We never compromise on 100°C because that’s what allows you to ditch the kettle and take advantage of the Quooker’s other features:

• No wasting water – a Quooker allows you to use only what you need.
• No wasting energy – a Quooker delivers boiling water for less and costs just 3 pence a day on standby.
• No wasting time – all you need to do with a Quooker is turn on the tap.
• No wasted space – the Quooker banishes the kettle and frees up space on your worktop.
• No accidents – thanks to its design, its 360° rotation, twin-walled cool spout and aerated delivery, the Quooker is actually much safer than a kettle.

In short, only a Quooker will do, because only a Quooker offers so much – especially 100°C.

Reasons to buy a Quooker 4 – how often you’ll use it

More than anything else

Until you own one, it’s almost impossible to imagine how great an impact having a Quooker tap can make.  This is because it delivers genuine 100°C boiling water so it can completely replace the kettle.

The one thing that people – and by that we mean Quooker owners, kitchen designers, retailers and our own engineers – all report, is that within a couple of weeks of owning a Quooker it has become the most frequently used appliance in the kitchen.  

When you think about it, it’s absolutely logical.  On average, people in the UK drink between 4 and 6 hot drinks every day.  So even if all the Quooker ever did was help you to make hot drinks, you would use it four to six times every day.  That’s if you live alone.  In a busy family, where everyone likes to get their own drinks, or if friends drop by unannounced, that’s quite a few more hot drinks – and uses of the Quooker – every day.  

But of course, that isn’t all you’ll use it for.  Most people cook.  

Serious cooks find the Quooker absolutely invaluable – which is why you see it on a regular basis on the TV, at every work station on MasterChef and the Great British Bake Off and on the set of Saturday Kitchen too.  It was also behind the scenes at The Taste, and it's in another series currently in production – we can’t tell you about that yet, but the Quooker was the first choice for this new show too.  

Ironically, reluctant cooks find the Quooker even more helpful, as it removes a lot of the effort involved in cooking  – providing a pan of boiling water for some hurriedly cooked pasta, rice or vegetables, or rustling up snacks such as instant soups and noodles. 

Everyone also has to clean and wash up.  

Two or three meals a day means several more uses for boiling water, cleaning knives, whisks, pans and utensils in moments.  And if you install a Quooker COMBI system, which mixes boiling water from the Quooker with cold feed to provide hot water from the domestic cold feed only, you’ll also enjoy an inexhaustible supply of hot water for washing plates, cups, glassware and cutlery too.  It’ll even provide water for hand washing delicate items. 

If you’re a large family, you may use your washing machine every day, you may even iron several times a week.  You probably use the cooker twice and the dishwasher once a day. 

Pretty quickly, you’ll agree that you use your Quooker more often than any other appliance in your kitchen.  Bar none. 

Logically, therefore, if you don’t yet have one, you’d better make sure that when you do buy a boiling water tap, it can do all this – in fact, we’d say it had better be a Quooker.

Quooker workplace economics 3 - Hydration

Hydration makes work go swimmingly

Almost all of the recent research into workplace productivity has come to the same conclusion; hydration is a key factor that increases and preserves productivity in a workforce. A hydrated workforce is not only a happy workforce, it is effective too.

A Quooker boiling water tap in the workplace is of huge benefit to employer and employee alike when it comes to both hydration and productivity. It encourages regular hydration by being quick and convenient.

Hydration is great for the brain, allowing it to stay oxygenated which acts to improve brain function. It takes as little as a 1% loss of body water to significantly reduce concentration in the human brain. A Quooker tap helps a workplace team to remain hydrated without disruption to work or concentration. It delivers genuinely 100°C water on demand, taking only a few seconds to make a cuppa, as opposed to 3 minutes or more with a traditional kettle.  Your team should take a statutory break mid-morning, lunchtime and mid-afternoon, but letting them have a cuppa more often than that really is wise thinking.

Water enables our bloodstream to deliver nutrients and oxygen to our entire body, keeping us awake and focused on the tasks at hand. A Quooker uses a storage tank that holds up to 11 litres of water at a constant 110°C, so that when water is delivered it is not only genuinely boiling, but plentiful for as many cups as are required. This means that staff can help themselves to as much liquid refreshment as they want, without wasting time – which is money.

Good digestion is so important to health and a person who is hydrated is more able to digest food and absorb nutrients than a person who is dehydrated.  A Quooker tap will deliver boiling water all day, every day, whenever it is needed. It is great for helping to prepare quick meals (such as noodles, soup and pasta) and for aiding hydration which allows people to digest their food, stay comfortable and avoid drowsiness.

A Quooker in the workplace helps to keep your team hydrated, whilst minimizing the time cost that is involved in regular preparation of refreshments. Hydrated people are happier – and that makes them far more productive.

Reasons to buy a Quooker 3 - On the scale of things

Limescale is part of life in some parts of the country, which is why we do all we can to help Quooker owners to tackle this successfully. Thankfully, homes in much of the UK don’t have to face this problem, but in some areas, calcium and magnesium salts in the water do cause limescale to form.

Despite being well aware of the harm that limescale can do to steam ovens, washing machines, dishwashers, irons and a host of domestic appliances, including the Quooker, water authorities have still not invested in the technology needed to filter out limescale before it reaches end users. 

The good news, on the other hand, is that at Quooker we do take this issue seriously and have formulated a number of solutions for dealing with limescale build up. The simplest solution is to install a Quooker limescale filter which removes the limescale before it can reach the Quooker tap – which is what we wish water suppliers would do. This simply needs replacing from time to time and can be retrofitted, so you can add a filter even if your Quooker was installed some time ago.

The design of the Quooker makes keeping it clear of limescale as straightforward as we can make it. The famous removable aerator, which is what helps to keep the 100°C boiling water from scalding, can be unscrewed and removed for regular local cleaning, keeping it free from limescale build up. The Quooker tank, which is designed to keep water under pressure so that it is always delivered as truly boiling water, also ensures that any limescale that does collect is accumulated all in one place for easier removal. Some of our rivals allow limescale to collect in multiple locations – which makes them more difficult to keep free of limescale.

Quooker offers three options for fuss-free limescale control:  

• Clean it yourself. A competent DIYer can easily carry this out, using the free cleaning  kit that we’re happy to give you every time you need to descale your Quooker. 
• If you aren’t a DIY fan, then our limescale filter is probably your best option. Simply clip off the old cartridge when it needs changing and clip on a new one in minutes.
• If you’d prefer, we can descale and service your Quooker for you. Just call 0207 9233355 or email info@quooker.co.uk and we’ll arrange for one of our skilled engineers to do it for you.

Any one of these options will ensure that you can enjoy your Quooker for many years to come. For more information on caring for your Quooker, please visit our website.

The Drinking Water Inspectorate’s national hard water map allows you to look up the quality of your domestic water supply. If you do live in a hard water area, your local water provider’s website should also have information to help you.
