Tapi Tap

Tapi by Dreamfarm is a curiously simple little design. Just a little rubber funnel to slip over the end of your tap, which turns it into something incredibly useful - a drinking fountain.

It's that dilemma, how do you have a drink out of the tap without getting a glass, without cupping your hands and impersonating a cat and without that awful hunched over moment where you try and get a drink straight from the tap, without letting your hair get wet or water boarding yourself?

Okay, so most of us manage it. We occasionally get water everywhere, soak our hair or clothes or get it up our noses, but generally we've worked out how to get around these issues. But who doesn't love a gadget which solves simple problems?

For something which resembles a cut of balloon or a little rubber udder, it's clever. All you need to do is pinch the base of the Tapi and the water explodes from an alternate hole at the top. Thus transformation from traditional tap to drinking fountain has happened. It's dishwasher safe, fits most straight spout taps and is made of water safe rubber which doesn't change the taste or colour of your water. So if it's coming out brown it's your water...don't drink it!

What's really good to see with Dreamfarm is that they use strictly reusable packaging and for every product sold they'll plant a tree to help towards offsetting CO2 production and replacing any materials they have to use. Which is nice.
