I have several Gessi taps and love them. It's only been 2 months so my experience is hardly tried and tested but thus far my black kitchen sink Gessi is working out perfectly.

We purchased this to replace our leaking sink mixer... we also wanted the flexible spout to clean out the sink more easily. The tap action is smooth and precise, the flexible hose seems solid, the black is a quality matt finish which teams well with our black cabinetry. The cold tap position is at 12 o’clock and hot is at 3 o’clock...This was important as the tap doesn’t need to be pulled forward to bring down the window blind. The retractable hose uses a simple weight to keep it in place... you need depth under your bench for this to work properly. We purchased with a great discount and it was delivered promptly. Great service and product.
