Would like one of those hot taps that makes you a cup of tea instantly...

[lulumama]

like this but possibly cheaper??

I hate to burst your bubble but it doesn't give you a cup of tea instantly. it gives you hot water.

okaaaaaaaaaaaay

i know

but thank you for pointing it out to anyone who might not have got the gist of what i was saying

There was a thing in Costco that heated water in about 30 seconds...less than £50 - will try & remember what it was called

I want one of them too.

Dp won't let me.

twat

Gotta tell you, lulumama, if they're anything like the instant hot water thingummy we have here at work, the tea will be total shitorama.

Water's hot but not boiling.

can't think what it was called.....

thank you !

i agree quonk!

gizmom , is it really, really bad?bad enough to drink wine instead

there is a stand-alone tefal one but BEWARE - they were invented for the american market and what do the americans know about making tea? americans think you make tea by putting water that was hottish when they put it in a jug 5 mins ago on a teabag with a bit of string attached. Ha!

Check the heat of the water that comes out before you buy. The tefal one does not give you boiling water. although it might today if you put it in the sun for a bit.

Yup. That's it. Tefal squats in corner of our work kitchen and makes (slowly) cup of foul brown water.

Kettle = quicker + better tea.

i know what you mean about american tea

i don;t want the quick cup thing, or the kettle.,but a tap that gives you boiling ish water, see the link below. sick of the amount of work top space the bloody kettle takes up

just got rid of the toaster too!

Hmmm, I see it, but 98 degrees ain't boiling, is it?

(Did I tell you about my doctorate in advanced tea making?)

What about the electricity bill, does this magic tap sit and heat water to slightly-less-than-boiling-point all day long? In which case I would stick to the kettle...

ah, that is why i say boiling ish !

good point, jane, don;t know about that.. will have to find out
