No-touch Kitchen Faucet
The Kohler Wellspring is a tall, slender, and "touchless" kitchen faucet. Although we usually see these no-touch faucets in public bathrooms, it makes a lot of sense in a residential kitchen.
If you're handling raw meat, you probably don't want to get chicken salmonella (or just that unpleasant meat slime that coats raw stuff) all over the faucet handles when you need to wash your hands. So you end up trying to nudge the water on with your forearm or elbow or something equally awkward. This way, you don't have to worry about be-sliming the knobs and having to disinfect them later. A no-touch faucet can also be a handy idea if you, or someone in the house, is dealing with arthritis pain--no more struggling to turn too-tight knobs.
