Best Black Kitchen Faucets (2021 Reviews & Guide)

Our top pick for the best black kitchen faucet is this beautiful piece by APPASO. This faucet combines elegance and a vintage aesthetic with practical and sensible features. It is definitely the best of both worlds. And it’s pretty affordable too.  

This is a great option if you want a black faucet but don’t have a kitchen with a modern style. Black faucets often look very industrial or incredibly modern. To such an extent that they look almost futuristic. But this isn’t the case with this faucet. 

This black faucet has a vintage style that wouldn’t look out of place in a Victorian kitchen. It has beautiful features that will make it noticeable. But it isn’t so bold that it will be too loud or distract from other features. 

Despite its traditional style, this is still a very modern faucet in terms of practicality. The faucet head can do a number of impressive things.

Despite its vintage look, this is actually a pull-down faucet. You wouldn’t know to look at it. But the head of this faucet can be easily pulled down to get closer to dishes or the spray down the sink. 

If you don’t want to spray the water, there is also the option of a direct stream or a pyramid sweep. These settings are controlled by a simple switch on the side of the faucet head. But this switch does not look modern. It is barely noticeable and looks just like decoration. 

Pros

• Hidden Pull-Down Faucet Head – This is a practical feature that is great for cleaning. But it still looks vintage and stylish.
• Three Different Water Stream Settings – Choice of spray, stream, or sweep to allow for greater control when cleaning.
• Matte Black Vintage Aesthetic – This faucet is a striking feature. But it is not overly modern or bold.

This is a great faucet if you want something subtle and understated. Black is a bold color choice for a kitchen faucet. But that doesn’t mean the design has to be as bold.

In fact, sometimes, it’s best to balance out the two. This faucet will work well in either a modern or a traditional kitchen.

Other than the overall style, the main appeal of this faucet is the touch turn-on feature. You can manually turn the faucet on at the lever. Or you can turn it on by simply touching the faucet head.

There are three touch points, so you won’t have to remember exactly where the turn-on area is. This is great for when you need to use your hands in cooking.

So, if you have been kneading dough, you can easily turn on the faucet and wash your hands. All without getting wet dough all over the clean faucet.

That said, although there are three touch points, this isn’t very much. So, while three is better than one, you will still need to remember exactly where each other in these areas are.

The controls on this faucet are also quite unique. As well as a standard lever that turns the water off, there are three settings controlled on the faucet head.

These settings include “steam mode”, “spray mode”, and “pause mode”. This means you can easily alter the stream of the water and pause the water.

This means that you won’t have to be constantly turning the lever and waiting for the water to come through properly and at the correct temperature. This is a small feature, but it will make a big difference.

Pros

• Touch Turn-On – This is great for any messy cook. You won’t risk dirtying the faucet.
• Pull-Down Faucet Head – The pull-down feature is practical, but it can be hidden away to avoid a commercial look.
• Two Different Water Stream Settings – Choice between stream or spray modes.

Cons

• Touch Turn-On only works at certain points.

This is a great faucet for a large sink in a large kitchen. While most options on this list are pull-down faucets, this is slightly different. Rather than a hidden cord, the cord on this faucet is visible.

The faucet head is also detachable. This faucet allows you to pull it down to get closer to the sink. But you can also remove the faucet head from its clamp to move it around and clean the entire sink area. 

The water is turned on through a standard lever. But there are other features that control the way the water streams out. Although two is a more limited number of stream settings, they are still more than the standard one.

This faucet is also more affordable than most other options. So the limited number of settings is more understandable.  

The water stream settings are “stream” and “spray”. These are useful for both generally cleaning and rinsing. But it is also very useful for powerfully streaming out water to remove more difficult grease and food.

These features are controlled through a switch on the faucet head. This head is also fully rotatable. So you can easily move  

Pros

• Detachable Faucet Head – Easy to move around faucet head.
• Affordable – The limited number of features are more appropriate for the price.
• Fully Rotatable Head – This will make cleaning dishes easier and cleaning down the sink. 

Cons

• Limited number of water stream settings.

This is a very minimalist faucet that will be best-suited to a very modern kitchen. This faucet has few additional features and has a very clean and sharp aesthetic.  

It is also very practical. With a 20-inch pull down faucet head, you can easily reach all corners of the sink to clean. The faucet head can then be easily snapped back into the magnetic lock.

This might seem like a small feature. But it will make all the difference. Saving you from those frustrating moments when you attempt to push in and dock the faucet head. 

This faucet can also be rotated 360°. This will make cleaning up super easy and much more efficient.  

This faucet also has a Touch-Clean faucet head. The faucet head spray holes are made from a soft rubber. This means that they are easy to wipe clean. This can help stop the build up of bacteria, limescale, and calcium. 

Pros

• Magnetite Faucet Head Dock – The faucet head can be easily released into the dock. So you won’t have to move around trying to fit it in.
• Two Different Water Stream Settings – Choice between spray or stream spray.
• Touch-Clean Faucet Head – Residue can be easily wiped away. This stops the build up of bacteria. 

Cons

• More expensive than average

This is a really unique looking faucet. It is closer in style to a traditional well pump than a kitchen faucet. This will look beautiful in any style of kitchen. But will definitely be best-suited for a traditional or vintage kitchen.  

Also included is a soap dispenser that matches the style of the faucet. This is a great addition as it is often difficult to find a soap dispenser that goes well with your faucet and sink.

This is an impressive soap dispenser as it is fitted inside the kitchen countertop next to the faucet. As with the faucet itself, this is a vintage-looking faucet with modern practicalities.  

Despite its vintage appearance, this is a very modern faucet in terms of practicality. Surprisingly, this is also a pull down faucet. The pull down feature, unlike many other similar faucets, is not hidden.

This faucet is almost a compromise between the hidden pull down faucet and the exposed pull out faucet. The faucet itself, rather than be a hard metal pipe with a hidden pipe inside, is itself the flexible pipe. 

This faucet allows for the practical movement and flexibility of a pull down faucet. Without the industrial appearance of a pull out faucet. 

Pros

• Includes matching soap pump – A built-in soap dispenser will be much more efficient and tie in better with the overall look of your kitchen. 
• Vintage Aesthetic – This faucet will look great in any kind of kitchen but will be best-suited to a traditional or vintage style.
• Easy to Use Dock – The faucet head can be easily removed and returned to the dock.

Cons

• More expensive than average.
