Matt Black Pull Out Kitchen Tap – Spring Coil Neck, Two-Mode Spray Head
The Contra takes the spring-neck shape you see over restaurant sinks and finishes it in matt black, which is what makes it work in a home kitchen. A coil in bright chrome reads as equipment; in black it reads as one dark line drawn above the sink. This black pull out kitchen tap stands 520 mm tall, so it is the first thing the eye lands on at the sink — choose it for that.
The spray head sits in a holder at the end of a side arm. Lift it out and the spring neck follows your hand on its hose, so you can rinse a roasting tin, wash down the far corner of the bowl or fill a pan standing on the drainer. A switch on the head changes between a straight stream for filling and a wide spray for rinsing, and a single quarter-turn lever sets flow and temperature.
Under the matt coating is a body of brass, stainless steel and zinc, with a 35 mm ceramic cartridge and a flow straightener at the outlet for a clean, low-splash stream. It is a black kitchen tap with a commercial-style silhouette that still fits an ordinary Irish kitchen without moving any pipework: one tap hole, standard G ½" flexible tails.
Check two things before ordering. ELLSI rates the Contra from 1 bar to 3 bar and marks it not suitable for gravity-fed systems, so it needs a combi boiler or pressurised mains rather than a cylinder in the hot press. And at 520 mm it needs clear height above the deck — measure to any shelf, extractor or window that opens inwards.

Why Choose a Matt Black Pull Out Kitchen Tap?
Because black is the finish that makes a spring tap look designed rather than borrowed from a catering supplier. It ties in with a black sink, black cabinet handles or a dark worktop, and against white quartz it becomes a deliberate line. The practical case is just as strong: matt black hides the water spotting a busy sink leaves on polished metal. The coating does ask for gentle cleaning — a damp cloth and a dry-off, never bleach, limescale remover or an abrasive pad.
If you like the spray head but not the height, the Cato in matt black keeps a lower curved spout with the head built into its tip. For a fixed spout, the Tivoli in matt black is a slim single lever swan neck and the Stroud in matt black puts twin levers on a squared spout — both also need 1 bar. On a gravity-fed supply, the Adria in matt black runs from 0.5 bar. For filtered boiling water as well as a spray head, the Cygne in matt black is a pull out hot water tap with its own corner tank. The Contra itself is also made in brushed brass and brushed steel.
