Fact 01. Superb water quality. In the Emirates, drinking water comes from desalination plants. The quality is good, but most people don't drink it because it doesn't taste great. A Quooker changes everything. Now you can have instant boiling water straight from your tap. It's pure and it tastes delicious. Use it for coffee, tea and cooking or cool it and store it in the fridge to drink through the day. It's more sustainable than buying bottled water and much more convenient too.
A true revolution Every now and then a vital new kitchen appliance comes along which changes the face of cooking. Trendsetters buy it, their friends see it and immediately want one, kitchen designers and chefs recommend it, newspapers and magazines review it and eventually it becomes a must have in every kitchen The Quooker boiling-water tap is one of those rare must haves. This simple, ultra-safe idea immediately renders kettles out of date and takes kitchens a giant leap forward. Although this revolutionary product is new to the Emirates, over 400,000 kitchens in Europe already depend on their Quooker for instant boiling water. The innovative Quooker is a clever Dutch invention. The Quooker has two parts: A tap safely dispensing instant boiling water and a compact tank hidden away in a kitchen cupboard. Connected to the water supply, the water in the tank is permanently kept at 110ºC, with patented high-vacuum insulation making the system very energy efficient. If you choose a Quooker COMBI, it also works as a boiler, providing all the hot water for your kitchen as well as instant boiling water. Leaving the tank, the boiling water passes through the HiTAC water filter, which purifies the water and leaves it with a perfect taste and smell. The high temperature also guarantees 100% sterility. Preparing tea, coffee or whatever you like with the Quooker. With a simple push and turn of the Quooker's childproof safety handle, you can prepare numerous drinks the whole day through, serving your friends and family delicious tasting tea as a gesture of your hospitality. But the applications for using your Quooker are endless. Everyday, Quooker users still come up with new ones!

Often too, the kettle boils, is forgotten and then has to be boiled again, wasting yet more time and energy. With the Quooker, on the other hand, you heat up exactly the amount of water you need and due to its patented high-vacuum insulation, the standby energy consumption is only 5 fils per day. The Quooker COMBI fulfils also a boiler function, providing instantly both hot and boiling water in your kitchen eliminating long runs of piping from the boiler and saving energy every day.

Many accidents happen worldwide with boiling water appliances that are tipped over or pulled from the kitchen worktop by children. The Quooker is a very safe solution because the tap is securely mounted to the worktop. The tap has a child-proof (double)-push-and-turn handle and has a double-walled insulated spout which ensures the spout is not too hot to touch. The Quooker taps have an light ring that lights up when the handle is touched. As another safety feature, the water comes out of the tap in a fine spray rather than a solid jet, avoiding accidental burns.

And suddenly it all fell into place. When I hit upon the idea, it made me feel all warm inside and had me captivated I was going to make a tap that dispensed boiling water! Henri Peteri Dutch physicist and inventor of the Quooker
1970 1973 1975 1978 1985 1993 When engineer Henri Peteri was working on the development of instant soup for an international food company fourty-five years ago, he realised that soup would never be instant without boiling water on tap. From that moment on he was captivated by this idea. He left the company he was working for and working out of the cellar in his own home started developing an appliance that would dispense boiling water instantly. Despite his immense drive, he didn't manage to get any further than the prototype stage after several years of hard work. The appliance was hard to sell and broke down regularly. After he had taken out his seventh mortgage on his home, the financial resources he needed to work on his invention had been depleted. Henri Peteri was forced to discontinue his project and go back to earning a living for his family. After graduating as a lawyer, his son Niels, put on a lab coat and disappeared into the cellar for five years. The idea was turned into a product and the Quooker was born. Reinforced with his son Walter, also a law graduate, the product was launched commercially.
1995 2004 2005 2007 2009 2014 In December 1995 they bought a building on Staalstraat in Ridderkerk, even though the business was still making a loss. The adjacent buildings were purchased in 1998, 2001, 2002 and 2006 (including the mattress factory, which was turned into a production hall). And so, the Quooker continued to grow. In 2004 the first Quookers were exported to Denmark. For the introduction of the boiling-water tap in the UK, we made a series of pictures showing only the tap and its uses against a black background. No kitchen setting, just huge white clouds of steam. Henri Peteri died in 2007. During the last years of his life, he kept a low profile in the family business. What he considered to be his greatest achievement was that the three of them (Walter, Niels and himself) had worked so well together. In 2009 Quooker won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. Many prototypes, designs, setbacks, doubts and technical changes later, we now produce tens of thousands of Quookers per year, we have thousands of dealers, our sales are doubling every two years and we are based in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, the UK, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland. And since 2015 also in the Emirates.
