The Quooker CUBE delivers chilled and sparkling water directly from your kitchen tap. Discover the price, operation, benefits, and why it's a game-changer for your kitchen.
Buy Quooker CUBE: Sparkling & Chilled Water Directly from Your Tap
The Quooker CUBE transforms your kitchen tap into a complete water solution. In addition to boiling, hot, and cold water, you can also dispense chilled filtered and sparkling water – directly from the same tap. No plastic bottles, no SodaStream, no separate water dispenser. In this complete guide from Crowntap, you'll read everything about its operation, price, installation, and benefits.
What is the Quooker CUBE?
The Quooker CUBE is a compact appliance (27 × 11 × 35 cm) that you place next to your Quooker reservoir under the worktop. The system filters, chills, and carbonates tap water so you get five types of water from one tap:
- Cold water – regular tap water
- Hot water – mixer tap temperature
- Boiling water – 100°C from the Quooker reservoir
- Chilled filtered water – approximately 6°C
- Sparkling water – chilled + CO₂
View all details on our CUBE product page.
How Does the Quooker CUBE Work?
The CUBE system works in three steps:
Step 1: Filtration
Tap water flows through an active carbon filter that removes chlorine, pesticides, and impurities. The result is pure, tasty drinking water.
Step 2: Chilling
The filtered water is chilled to approximately 6°C in the insulated CUBE reservoir. The system continuously keeps a supply of chilled water ready.
Step 3: Carbonation (optional)
When choosing sparkling water, CO₂ from a cylinder is dissolved in the water. You choose: still chilled or sparkling.
Tip: The amount of CO₂ (and thus the bubbles) is not adjustable – the sparkling water has a fine, consistent fizz comparable to premium bottled water.

The active carbon filter removes chlorine, organic contaminants, and taste and odour substances. The result: tap water that tastes like premium spring water.
4. Compact and Invisible
