Incidentally, I have modern (ceramic disk) mixer taps in the kitchen.

It's not a question of whether the tap has ceramic disks - but rather
whether the tap is designed to operate on low pressure gravity systems or
higher pressure mains-fed systems. There certainly *are* some modern ceramic
disk taps designed to work with low pressure gravity feeds (and the better
on-line retailers make this clear) - but the majority of modern taps are
designed for mains pressure and provide a poor flow with gravity fed
systems.
