Making a brew has long been a British remedy for keeping calm and carrying on in times of crisis and that's exactly what the nation did during the spring lockdown, enjoying an extra two cups of tea a day on average*, leading to a marked increase in sales of Abode steaming hot water taps.

Google searches of hot taps have increased by 25% this year, while Abode Pronteau sales were up by 13% in July and August, compared to the same period last year.

This is a trend that Abode predicts will continue to grow, despite daily routines being re-established post-lockdown, as more people continue to work from home.

“Lots of consumers have been investing in their homes since the beginning of the pandemic, and hot water taps are something of a must-have for the kitchen,” comments Leanne Adamson, Marketing Manager for Abode.

“This is an appliance that has lots of benefits, not only in terms of enabling tea and coffee to be served at the perfect temperature without having to wait for the kettle to boil, but also being relatively easy to fit retrospectively and freeing up worktop space for an uncluttered finish.

“Technological advancements mean that the latest additions to our Pronteau range, such as the Prothia 3IN1 steaming hot water tap, are now more cost effective than ever, with a sleek, slim-line design and choice of finishes that make this a really valuable addition to the kitchen.”
