Black Boiling Water Taps

Modern kitchens require modern appliances, so wave goodbye to the colour and chrome taps of yesterday. With a matt black boiling water tap from Hot Water Taps, you can upgrade your cooking space with instant access to cold, hot and boiling water at the turn of a handle. In our range of black taps, you can find all kinds of shapes, from swivel spouts to swan neck spouts, water filter features and more.

Opting for a black tap is an increasingly popular choice with homeowners, with darker shades of metal dominating the Instagram feeds of interior designers for the past decade. It's not hard to see why. Black has been fashionable in interior design for the better part of the 21st century; in the kitchen, this shade can help build an upmarket aesthetic. At Hot Water Taps, we've taken the stunning appearance of a matt black tap and combined it with our state-of-the-art technology to create a boiling water tap that looks great and offers a range of water temperatures from cold to 98 degrees.

Should I shop for a 3-in-1 tap or a 4-in-1 tap?

Our 3-in-1 taps will save you bags of time by providing access to instant hot water precisely when you need it. As well as a hot and cold mixer, the Athena and Avista ranges come with a boiler which fits neatly into the cupboard below your sink basin, dispensing 98c water instantaneously.

Our 4-in-1 matt black taps take things further by offering ice cold water through a filter, in addition to a hot/cold mixer and boiler. With the provided filter, you have easy access to crystal-clear drinking water at any time. The added technology makes the price of our Quantum and Platinum ranges slightly higher, but we'd like to think this a worthwhile investment in your family's health. What's more, the Platinum range has a pull-out swivel spout, which makes your kitchen basin even more functional.

Choosing a tap spout type

If aesthetics are crucial to your kitchen design, our matt black taps come in two different spout types: square (also known as D-shaped) or the classic swan shape. The former offers something different for contemporary kitchens, while a swan-shaped spout provides the clean, classic appearance that many homeowners love. Each tap was designed to sit at a comfortable height on your worktop, and a slim width ensures it won't take up too much space.

What is a hot water tap?

Our taps use an in-cupboard tap boiler (which we provide) to heat and maintain a 2.4l supply of water at 98 degrees, which can be accessed as and when required. So whether you're whipping up a batch of your family-famous spaghetti bolognese or mopping stubborn stains of kitchen tiles, you can kick the kettle to the kerb and complete life chores quicker than ever.

Is a boiling water tap safe?

Boiling water taps are often far safer than a kettle, which can be hazardous to operate and easily accessible to a child. Our taps will only dispense boiling water once the child-safe spring lock has been operated, which reduces the risk of little hands being burnt. The spout on our instant hot water taps also dispenses a steady stream - far better than the bubbling water that can come from a kettle. If you have low pressure, you will likely hear your boiler tap working a little harder - this is totally normal!

As a customer, we also offer 5 years warranty on our taps and 2 years on our boiler, so you can shop with peace of mind that we will help on the rare occasion something goes wrong.

Is a boiling water tap eco-friendly?

Our matt black taps are incredibly eco-friendly, saving water and energy. Maintaining a supply of hot water is more efficient than heating water using a kettle or hob, which means you can cut costs when cracking on with your cooking and cleaning chores. When it comes to saving time and money, our taps offer incredible value for money.
