KOHLER’S NEW CARAFE® KITCHEN FAUCET BRINGS GOOD TASTE TO FILTERED WATER FAUCETS


 
KOHLER, Wis. – May 8, 2007 – By adding a sleek design sensibility to a filtered water faucet, the new Carafe kitchen faucet introduced at the 2007 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show by Kohler Co., a global leader in kitchen and bath design and technology, is an inspired marriage of engineering ingenuity and modern sophistication.  Eliminating the clutter and hassle of a filtered water pitcher in the refrigerator or a clumsy device attached to the faucet, the Carafe faucet is an easy solution for those who appreciate a balanced mix of elegance and convenience. It is an innovative combination of a fully functioning single-handle kitchen faucet with an integral filtered water faucet.

 “This faucet is perfect for anyone who wants to ensure the purity of the water they drink without sacrificing their sense of style,” says , Brian Baratka, director of product marketing for Kohler Global Faucets.  “And between the long-term costs of using special filtered pitchers and drinking bottled water, consumers can save money and help the environment by sparing a lot of plastic with the Carafe faucet.”

 Designed by the renowned Kohler design studio in Paris, France, this new faucet has a strong artistic sensibility and an economy of line that is undoubtedly European.  The Carafe faucet consists of a single-lever valve that is uncomplicated and minimalist and a curved spout that conveniently swivels 360 degrees and has a nine-inch clearance to allow for easy clean-up of larger pots and pans.  A separate on-off valve adjacent to the faucet allows the user to easily switch between filtered water for drinking and unfiltered water for cooking or washing dishes.  While the Carafe faucet can be used as the primary faucet, it is also ideally scaled for prep or entertainment sink applications.

 The Carafe® kitchen faucet is available in two finishes: Polished Chrome and Vibrant® Stainless.  The refined style and clean look of this faucet allow it to harmonize well with other kitchen appliances, as well as the overall décor.  With its easy practicality and pared-down chic, the Carafe kitchen faucet is a beautiful balance of form and function.

KOHLER faucets carry a lifetime limited warranty for as long as the original purchaser owns his or her home.  For more information on the Carafe kitchen faucet, the warranty or other KOHLER products, individuals may visit the Kohler Co. Web site at KOHLER.com or call toll-free at
