But if you have a \u003cstrong\u003ecountertop or vessel basin\u003c\/strong\u003e — a bowl sitting on top of a worktop or vanity unit — a standard tap will be too short, and the spout will sit at or below the rim of the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hi-rise gives you the height to get your hands underneath comfortably. Measure the height of your bowl from the worktop before choosing, and check the spout will reach far enough over to land water near the middle of the bowl rather than the edge. A taller spout also means a longer drop, so splashing is more likely with a shallow bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKartell rate this tap for pressures \u003cstrong\u003ebetween 0.5 and 10 bar\u003c\/strong\u003e. That covers mains, combi and unvented systems comfortably. A gravity-fed tank and cylinder can reach 0.5 bar where there is enough height between the cold tank and the tap, but in a bungalow, or where the tank sits close above the bathroom, it often will not — worth checking before you order, or fitting a pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eceramic disc cartridge\u003c\/strong\u003e with quarter-turn operation gives full flow from a small movement of the lever, and is far less prone to dripping than a washer tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatt black is a powder-coated finish rather than plating. It looks superb against a white basin, but it is less forgiving than chrome: limescale and toothpaste splashes show as pale marks on a dark surface, so it wants wiping down more often. Never use an abrasive cream or a limescale remover on it — those strip the coating rather than the deposit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your basin has a rim tap hole rather than being a countertop bowl, the standard \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kartell-k-vit-nero-round-mono-basin-mixer-with-click-waste-matt-black-tap411nr\"\u003eNero Round mono basin mixer\u003c\/a\u003e is the one you want — and unlike this one it includes a click waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe same tap in other finishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNero Round is the matt black version of a design Kartell also make in polished chrome as \u003cstrong\u003eKore\u003c\/strong\u003e and in brushed brass as \u003cstrong\u003eOttone\u003c\/strong\u003e.
