Boil a water in an instant with the Quooker Flex
New from Quooker, the inventors of the 100°C boiling water tap, comes another innovative kitchen tap design - the Quooker Flex.

It can even deliver cold filtered water for drinking, via an integrated water filter.
A single push and turn will engage the water filter for cold filtered drinking water, while a second push will activate the boiling function. There's even an LED that'll use a blue or red light to let you know if it's cold or hot.
The Quooker Flex is available in the distinctive modern Nordic Round design and comes in a choice of polished chrome or stainless steel. Prices start at £1,150.
