Hot water flow is poor want to improve it

[bacon_sandwich]

Hi guys, be gentle as although i am GSR, i am not a plumber. Ok this is my house. The kitchen hot tap has always been disappointing as its flow is rubbish and hot water takes ages to come through. Its vented cyl located ground floor, kitchen is on first floor and cold tank is above ceiling of 2nd floor. All hot taps / shower and bath on ground floor are wonderful. There are only two taps on first floor , kitchen and small toilet. No taps on 2nd floor. Recently had the kitchen replaced and the sink has been moved and as such the pipe work for the sink has extended further. Now the kitchen hot tap is more than disappointing.
What are my options?
Could i pump just the kitchen tap or do you need to pump from the cyl
many thanks

I find you never know with an unfamiliar new tap how good the flow is going to be until you turn the water back on.
The bar rating can be misleading.
If the spout looks wide, generally a good sign.
Life was easier when we had full flow mixer taps years ago and no ceramic works

OK tap is poo. Update. The cold water feed is not above the ceiling of 2nd floor its actually in a cupboard on 2nd floor probably just 2.5 - 3 metres above the kitchen tap. So if i am only ever going to get 3-4Lpm should i just bite the bullet and go HP.
