Sparkling + boiling water on tap!? Here’s our review of the Zip Water Hydrotap we added during our kitchen remodel. Is it worth it? Read on to find out!
If you haven’t been following along on social media, we are currently putting the finishing touches on a major kitchen remodel. When I say major – I mean tearing down walls, taking things down to the studs, and completely starting from scratch. It’s been a long two years but now that we are finally using the kitchen it has made it all worth it.
One of the most fun things in our kitchen is our Zip Water HydroTap. The HydroTap dispenses filtered sparkling, boiling, and cold water with just the touch of a button. It sounds like a dream, right?
Here’s a look at how the Zip Water Hydrotap works:

You’ll find a few traditional gifts, like bubbly and chocolate, and also a few surprises! There’s truly something for everyone.

I hope you’ll find someone for everyone on your list. If I missed someone, let me know in the comments and we’ll brainstorm together until we find the perfect gift!

Pat and I are fully vaccinated, so now is the moment to get back out there and travel again! We decided for our first trip we would explore a region close to home but still far enough away that it felt like a vacation. We love Monterey County so it was a natural choice. It’s just an easy drive from San Francisco but feels like you have truly escaped from the hustle and bustle of the city.
I’m happy to report we felt very safe during our trip. Most people in the area wear masks consistently, even outdoors. There is plenty of outdoor seating and all cleaning COVID protocols seem to be meticulously followed.
You can tell tourism is starting to pick back up in the region, so I definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time and booking in advance when you can.
