Astrid Dual Lever Kitchen Tap | Brushed Brass Mixer

Astrid Dual Lever Kitchen Tap – Brushed Brass, Classic Proportions

A dual lever kitchen tap gives you separate hot and cold control feeding a single spout — the traditional arrangement, without needing two tap holes drilled in the sink. The Ellsi Astrid pairs that with a tall swan neck and a warm brushed brass PVD finish.

Some people simply prefer two handles. You set hot and cold independently rather than hunting for a blend point, and the quarter-turn levers move with a positive, weighted action. The symmetry suits shaker, in-frame and period kitchens where a single lever can look out of place.

The proportions are generous. At 375mm tall with a 210mm spout reach, this brushed brass kitchen tap clears a stockpot and covers a 1.5 or double bowl comfortably — noticeably bigger than a standard mono mixer, so check your window sill clearance if the sink sits under a window.

The finish is PVD brushed brass, not lacquer. PVD bonds the colour at a molecular level, so it resists scratching, tarnishing and cleaning products far better than a lacquered coating — a meaningful difference on a tap handled several times a day. One of the better-value gold kitchen taps Ireland has online, delivered nationwide with same-day Dublin pickup.

Features & Benefits

• Dual lever quarter-turn control — separate hot and cold handles feeding one spout, through a single tap hole.
• PVD brushed brass finish that resists scratching and tarnishing far better than lacquered brass.
• Tall swan neck spout, 375mm high with 240mm clearance beneath the outlet for filling tall pots.
• 210mm spout reach — designed for 1.5 and double bowl sinks.
• Swivel spout that turns clear of the bowl when you need the space.
• Ceramic disc valves delivering smooth, drip-free operation.
• Flow straightener for a clean, non-splashing stream.
• Deck mounted, one tap hole with a compact 58mm base footprint.
• 2 year manufacturer guarantee.

Important: pressure requirement

This tap requires a minimum of 1 bar and is not suitable for gravity-fed systems. If your hot water comes from a cylinder in the hot press rather than a combi boiler or pressurised mains, the Astrid will underperform. Many older Irish homes fall into that category — please check before ordering. If you are on gravity-fed hot water, the Tivoli Brushed Brass works from 0.5 bar and is the right choice.

Why Choose a Dual Lever Kitchen Tap?

Because some people never get on with a single lever. With one handle you are always searching for the blend point; with two you set hot and cold where you want them and leave them. It is a preference rather than a performance difference, but it is a strong one — and if you grew up with separate taps, a dual lever feels immediately right.

Visually it earns its place in kitchens where a single lever looks too contemporary. Shaker doors, in-frame cabinetry, a Belfast sink, a period house — the symmetry of two handles reads as considered there. Our other twin-handle options are the Newton in chrome and the squarer Walton, both at a lower price and both working from 0.3 bar if pressure is a concern.

If you would rather have brushed brass with single lever control, the Tivoli Brushed Brass is slimmer and cheaper, and the Cato Brushed Brass adds a pull-out spray.
