Grohe’s Bau Curve mono mixer sits in the brand’s more affordable kitchen range, competing with everyday taps from the likes of Franke and Bristan. The focus here is on a clean chrome finish and a tall, curved spout that suits modern sinks without tipping into “designer” pricing.

Who is this tap best for?

If you regularly fill stockpots, vases or tall kettles, the high spout gives proper clearance, so you are not wrestling pans under a low outlet. The 360 degree swivel is useful on 1.5 bowl setups or when you want to move the flow out of the way while washing up. A solid metal lever gives a more confident feel than lightweight handles, and the ceramic cartridge helps keep temperature and flow control consistent over time, with less of the stiffness and drips you can get from cheaper mechanisms.

  • High spout for larger cookware and deeper sinks
  • 360 degree swivel for flexible positioning at the basin
  • Ceramic cartridge for smoother, more reliable mixing
