10 Best Kitchen Taps UK 2024 | John Lewis, Bristan and More

At number one is this motion sensor kitchen tap, which is ideal for maintaining good hygiene. The infrared sensors are activated with the wave of a hand within a range of 6 cm and work with long-lasting batteries that only need replacing every 1-2 years. 

Additionally, the sprayer head features an innovative round button for instant pause mid-sensor. It also features a hidden, pull-out spray with a gently aerated flow that minimises splash and noise. When the hose is returned to its place, it is deactivated automatically. This is a very clever tap!

This heated tap dispenses hot water when energised and cold water when it is not, thus, it can be used as a regular tap in its unenergised state. Its biggest selling point, however, is its useful display function, which will ensure you get the perfect temperature whether you're washing dishes or dispersing drinking water. 

It's worth mentioning that the flow rate determines the water temperature, which means that it does not function very well with a low water pressure system. Nonetheless, for its price this is a good buy with a unique industrial design that would suit smaller sinks. 

For a modern and stylish kitchen tap that doesn't break the bank, this aesthetically-pleasing model ranks high. Not only is it versatile with its detachable black silicone tube, but it is of good quality and able to meet many kitchen needs. 

Instead of a pull-out, the flexible hose on this tap measures just a few inches, though it's just as convenient. The user can easily switch between a spraying and streaming function with just a click of a button provided on the spout. With an overall well-integrated design, this elegant and practical tap is certainly worth the price.

Designed here in the UK, Qettle's tap dispenses boiling water at 100 degrees. With this time- and energy-saving innovation, you no longer need to stress about boiling water with a kettle. For peace of mind there's also a safety catch which must be removed in order to use the hot water. 

As the name suggests, this is a great multitasker, as it's capable of dispensing not only boiling water, but filtered water too, as well as regular hot and cold water. It can be teamed with 2, 4 and 7 litre tanks, and as a bonus, it has a a filtration system that works to slow down the build up of limescale and sediment. 

Looking to reduce your plastic waste? The Gallery Pure kitchen tap has separate waterways and a spout to dispense pure, filtered water at the touch of a button at the head of the nozzle. It also has a single lever for hot and cold water and a large, easy-to-use lever that provides good control.  

It includes an Empura water filter cartridge to get you started, and the internal ceramic cartridge mechanism promises a long lifespan. This is a good buy for a filtered water supply, however, bear in mind that it requires a minimum working pressure of 2.0 bar. 

This kitchen tap has a flexible, pull-out hose that pulls in any direction, allowing full, all-round access. It is made of a long-lasting quality material and can emit water at very high pressure, and as such is suitable for performing a variety of tasks in the kitchen from washing up to washing salads.

As well as being perfectly hidden when not in use, the hose has good control too, for example, there are buttons for alternating between different water flow modes so the user can choose to stream, spray or pause the water. 

Heable's 'Modern' is a versatile, drip-free kitchen tap with a single-function pull-out spray hose that sprays water but does not dispense a stream flow. It has a single metallic handle that is resistant to scratch and corrosion. 

The curved black flexible rubber spray hose dispenses water at optimal pressure, and it has a sturdy base that rotates 360 degrees as well. Though not for everyone, the bright LED lights that change with the water temperature will be a particular highlight for those looking for something a little different! 

We love this kitchen mixer tap for its flexibility. It has a swivel spout that rotates a full 360 degrees, thereby accommodating more items in the sink and making it easier to reach every corner – great for households with lots of dishes! 

Even more uniquely is its clever adjustability, which allows for a customisable width between 90 and 210 mm. This places it above the conventional mixer tap, as well as making it very easy to install. To top it off, it's made of a high-quality brass material that is at once elegant and durable. 

This fast-selling brass kitchen tap is surely one of the best-looking on the list, with its sleek and timeless brushed gold finish and simple mixer design. It has dual levers for smooth control and is really easy to operate whilst multitasking, too. 

The spout rotates 360 degrees making it ideal for double bowl sinks, and the inner workings include a quarter-turn ceramic disk cartridge of high quality as well as flow constrictors that reduce splashing and provide good water pressure. The only downside is that it is not stated as fully leakproof, so it will have to be installed carefully. 

This traditional pillar set requires two tap holes, one each for hot and for cold. It has crosshead controls that are twisted to regulate water flow, along with the classic red and blue temperature indicators. 

As the name implies, the taps stand high above the sink at a distance of 95 mm from the spout, however this means that they don't stretch too far into the basin – worth considering if you have a deep sink. Nonetheless, this set is of good quality and a nice option if you're on a budget.
