Check out Brizo. We used the Brizo Artesso for a kitchen project we completed last year.

Forget the pot filler they are one of the biggest wastes of money and often the source of leaks .They make no sense since the boiling water is the one you need to be worried about I would do a sink to the left or right of the range before a pot filler at least then both hot and cold are handy. As for gold there are golds from every maker now so what you strat with is function .

I have never had a 'pot filler' other than me filling the pot at the sink and carrying it over to the stove. I agree with Patriciain that it seems like a waste of money on something that could cause future problems. I have also wondered about a drain requirement for the faucet.

Skip the gold pot filler and get yourself a cooking class.

Stick with the same company for items for each room so that they match.

@MarkBischak
I’m not sure what my question has to do with cooking lessons. Thank you for all of your insight.

I think thta was Mark saying save the money. I agree to keep the same company for each space but I also think gold colored faucets will be on of those things that screams dated quickly.

I cook a lot including soups or braises which theoretically require a lot of water.

In terms of my own cooking experience a pot filler is not necessary because the only time I use large quantities of water is when I am cooking pasta and need boiling water. Otherwise my recipes use chicken stock or vegetable stock as the base.

I don't cook pasta in a heavy Le Creuset pot so filling my large lightweight pasta pot with water and carrying it to the stove is not something that is problematic. A good kitchen should have the classic work triangle anyway so how far is your stove from the sink? And in the event that I became physically incapable of carrying a the pot with pasta water, it would still be simpler to just fill it with a pitcher even if that required two trips because - again - the stove in a functional kitchen should be close to the stove and refrigerator.

And what the others are saying is that you are still left with a heavy pot of liquid at the end - ie you have to drain the pasta pot in the sink anyway.

"Skip the gold pot filler and get yourself a cooking class."

The sentence conveys if you do not spend your money on something that is not necessary, you will be able to spend that money on something more worthwhile.

The reason I didn't get a pot filler is that I'm not particularly eager to use water that has been resting in the pipes for a period of time. I run the faucet for a bit to refresh the water, so I'd be moving water from the pot filler to the sink to dump it.

Nevertheless, it's still de rigeur in higher-end homes near us in the Canuckistanian hinterlands.

Even in the secondary kitchen, typically used as a kosher or Chinese prep area.

a drain requirement for the faucet

In some jurisdictions we've built in, you're required to provide a drain on the floor beneath the stove or cooktop under the potfiller. If the kitchen has wood flooring, it has to include ceramic or other waterproofing materials sloped to the floordrain beneath the appliance.

Lisa knows if she needs a potfiller.

My turn to BAD: gold? Are you sure? :)

Anyway, good advice from those (few) above who are addressing the question. Use the same brand within a room because gold finishes really can vary.

The biggest challenge with gold/brass faucets is coordinating them to the other finishes in your room. Light fixtures, bath accessories, shower trim, cabinet hardware. Some of the finishes for plumbing fixtures are unique and you'll have a difficult time finding an exact match. So if you think clashing metals will bother you, plan on at least one other finish to coordinate to. For example, brass plumbing with black light fixtures. I often opt for stainless kitchen faucets since they will coordinate with the other stainless appliances in the space. And then I use brass for the cabinet hardware and lighting.

It is always in the best interest of the client to ask the profound question, "Do really you need that?"

@Mark Bischak, Architect whether she "needs" it or not isn't any of our concern. She wants one. And that's a good enough reason. Any competent plumber can install a pot filler so that it passes the city plumbing inspection and should not be at any greater risk of leaking than any other faucet in the kitchen.

Do you know how bad she wants it, or would you have to ask? If she does not indeed need a pot filler, she can more freely allocate that time she saves agonizing over the gold pot filler on the 1,038,945 other interior design decisions needed to build a house, AND be able to afford a Eames Lounge Chair and foot stool that everyone needs.

Last I checked, a Brizo pot filler is anywhere from $700 to $1000 depending on the finish. In the grand scheme of purchases for a new kitchen, this is a drop in the bucket. That $700-$1000 certainly won't buy you an Eames Lounge chair, nor any other furniture in the house. It's a moot point.

"this is a drop in the bucket."

Or on the floor under the stove and potentially every point in between.

$700 to $1000 gets her the faucet. There is still the cost of the labor by the plumber to install the faucet, and the material and labor for supply lines and the drain line to serve that faucet. That moot point is worth at least one Eames Lounge Chair.

Oh, I highly recommend www.mod-land.com So great bathroom & kitchen fixtures! Especially their brushed gold collections!
