The Environmental Impact of a Quooker Tap: Eco-Friendly or Not?

Boiling water with a traditional kettle often means heating more than you need. That’s energy wasted with every boil. The Quooker system, especially the PRO3, COMBI, or COMBI+, keeps boiling water ready in a vacuum-insulated tank, using just 10 watts on standby.

✅ Result: Less energy used overall, especially for households that boil water multiple times daily.

The Quooker CUBE add-on provides filtered chilled and sparkling water. This can significantly reduce or eliminate your reliance on plastic water bottles at home.

✅ If every household with a Quooker CUBE stopped buying bottled water, the reduction in plastic waste would be massive.

With a Quooker tap, you dispense exactly the amount of water you need—whether it’s one cup for tea or a pot for pasta. Kettles, on the other hand, are often filled without measuring.

✅ This means less water down the drain and lower utility bills.

Quooker taps are built with high-quality, durable materials, including stainless steel tanks and filters. Many models last 10–15 years or more with proper maintenance. This longevity reduces the frequency of replacements, compared to cheaper appliances with shorter life cycles.

Thanks to its standby efficiency and precise use, the overall carbon footprint of a Quooker is often lower than using a kettle several times a day. According to Quooker, the annual energy use is roughly equal to a low-energy lightbulb.

✅ For eco-conscious households, this means you’re getting convenience without guilt.

While the Quooker does require electricity to operate, its energy use is low. And while the CUBE CO₂ canisters need replacement, they’re recyclable and can be returned or reused in some regions.

✅ As long as the system is used efficiently, the pros clearly outweigh the cons.
