AquaTwist 360 Kitchen Faucet

Most kitchen taps make you guess at the temperature until your hand is already under the water. The AquaTwist puts a display on the spout instead, showing the temperature at a glance before anyone touches the stream, which is a small change that turns out to matter a great deal in a house with children or when you are rinsing something that should not be scalded.

The spout swivels a full 360 degrees, reaching both basins of a double sink without a fight and clearing tall stockpots on the way past. It is height adjustable too, so the same tap handles filling a deep pan and rinsing a colander of produce without you working around a fixed arc. The stream itself is a soft, splash-free flow rather than a jet that bounces off the base of the sink and onto your shirt.

The body is stainless steel with a chrome-plated, limescale-resistant finish, so hard-water spotting wipes away instead of etching in. It fits standard kitchen faucet connections, which makes this a straightforward do-it-yourself swap in most kitchens rather than a plumbing job. Four finishes are available in soot black, icy silver, swan white and velvet black, and the slim profile reads equally well in a modern or a classic kitchen.
