Caple taps cover three quite different jobs: an everyday single lever mixer, 3-in-1 taps that also deliver filtered steaming water, and a wall-mounted pot filler for above the hob. Each design comes in a choice of finishes, including solid stainless steel, gunmetal, copper and gold colours, black and antique brass, so you can match the tap to your sink, handles or lighting. Every tap here lists a minimum water pressure of 0.5 bar, which is worth checking against your home's supply before you buy.
The Karns single control tap is the straightforward option. It has a single lever with a ceramic valve, a single flow and a 35mm worktop cut-out, and you can get it in stainless steel, gunmetal, copper, gold or Chromite Black. It pairs naturally with one of the Caple sinks if you are replacing both.
The Joya and Vapos 2 3-in-1 taps give fresh cold water, regular hot water and filtered 98°C steaming water from one tap, so you don't need a separate kettle or hot water dispenser. Steaming water has its own separate flow and a safety mechanism, and the spout is cool touch. Both need a boiler unit, so allow cupboard space under the sink. Joya listings mention a progressive valve for hot and cold control, and some also list touch control and a pressurised boiler. Vapos 2 listings give a boiler temperature range of 25°C to 98°C, and the Vapos 2 Quad is another version in stainless steel.
The Banwell pot filler is a specialist tap. It mounts on the wall above your hob, supplies cold water only, and its extendable arm folds out over the pans and back against the wall when you're done. It needs a 30mm wall cut-out and a water supply behind the hob. Start with the question of steaming water: if you want it, compare the Joya and Vapos 2, and if not, the Karns will do the job. Then pick your finish. You can see the same taps on the Caple kitchen taps page, or browse taps and sinks together under Caple sinks and taps.
