The Nobili Kitchen Tap Collection

Nobili are a tap specialist. No sinks, no accessories to speak of, just kitchen taps in solid brass and chrome, priced below the names most people arrive knowing.

Where they sit

The bodies are brass on most of the range, with chrome and stainless steel making up the rest. Brass is what gives a tap the weight that feels right under the hand and what holds a bonded finish rather than letting it wear thin, and it keeps the tap serviceable rather than disposable.

The guarantee is two years across most of the range, which is shorter than the five years several makers offer. That is worth reading alongside the price rather than on its own, because these taps sit lower down the market and the cover reflects that honestly rather than overpromising.

What a shorter guarantee does not tell you is how the tap will feel. The part that decides that is the ceramic disc cartridge inside the lever, and a brass-bodied tap with a decent cartridge behaves much the same in year one whatever the paperwork says. The guarantee is a statement about the tail of the distribution, not the everyday experience.

Modern mostly, traditional too

Modern single-lever mixers are the larger part of the range, in the clean shapes that suit a contemporary kitchen: one handle, one hole, hot and cold mixed in a movement. Alongside them sits a smaller traditional group, so a period or country kitchen is covered without changing manufacturer.

There is also a filter tap in the range, and, importantly, the replacement cartridges for it. That combination matters more than it appears, because a filter tap whose cartridges quietly go out of production becomes an ornament, and having both held in one place removes that risk from the decision entirely. The wider cartridge range covers the other makers.

Before the finish, the pressure

Every tap states a minimum operating pressure on its product page, and it is the specification to settle first because nothing fixes it afterwards. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder will drive almost anything here. A gravity-fed system with a tank in the loft needs a tap rated for it, and low pressure taps is where to start if that describes your house.

The Nobili tap range gathers the taps themselves, and the full kitchen taps selection compares them against every other manufacturer we carry.
