Franke Boiling Hot Water Taps

Franke boiling hot water taps come from two Water Hub families, Maris and Mythos. Each is a J-spout tap with a side lever that replaces your usual kitchen mixer. One tap gives you everyday hot and cold water plus filtered boiling water, so you no longer need a kettle on the worktop. The Maris range keeps things simple. Mythos goes further for households that want chilled or sparkling water from the tap too.

The Maris Water Hub is a 3-in-1 tap. The right lever controls ordinary hot and cold water, and a separate knob on the left gives filtered boiling water. A Pro M Filter is included, and the tap works at water pressures from 1 to 5 bar. If your home has a cold-feed-only supply or low pressure, there's an optional Warm Water Support add-on. The mechanical version uses Pull & Turn control, so boiling water needs two deliberate movements, and it comes with a 4 L heating tank. The electronic version uses coloured lights to show the mode: white for neutral, red for boiling and turquoise for cold filtered. Cold filtered water needs the separate 4-in-1 Filtration Kit. Electronic models come with a 4 L or a 7 L tank. The larger tank suits kitchens that use a lot of boiling water at once, for filling pans as well as cups. Maris finishes include chrome, Decor Steel and Matt Black, and some models come in other colours.

The Mythos Water Hub 6in1 Electronic tap gives hot and cold water plus four filtered functions: instant boiling, chilled, ambient and sparkling. It comes in stainless steel or copper. The stainless steel version swivels through 360° and the copper version through 180°, so check how much movement your sink layout needs.

To narrow it down, start with the water you want. For boiling water alongside your normal hot and cold, the mechanical Maris is the simplest choice. For a lit display, a bigger tank or the option to add cold filtered water later, choose the electronic Maris. If chilled and sparkling water matter, choose Mythos.
