Boiling water taps have a relatively short history, dating back only to the early 2000s. The first company to develop a boiling water tap was a Dutch company, which introduced its first model in 2000.
Prior to the invention of boiling water taps, people would typically heat water in a kettle on the stove or using an electric kettle. This process was time-consuming and required extra steps, such as filling the kettle with water and waiting for it to boil. Boiling water taps offer a more convenient and efficient solution to this problem, allowing people to have instant access to boiling water directly from the tap...
The initial design of boiling water taps was relatively simple, consisting of a small tank located underneath the sink that would heat water to boiling temperature and then dispense it through a separate tap. Over time, the design has become more sophisticated, with new features such as child-safety locks, adjustable temperature settings, and integrated water filtration systems.
Boiling water taps have become increasingly popular in recent years, with many companies entering the market to offer their own versions of the product. In addition to the convenience of instant boiling water, these taps are also valued for their energy efficiency, as they eliminate the need to heat water unnecessarily. They are also considered to be a more hygienic option, as the water is dispensed directly from the tap, rather than being exposed to potentially contaminated surfaces in a kettle.
