Tea, in three seconds?Posted Jun 14th 2007 1:28PM by Joanne LutynecFiled under: Teas, Water, Science, Stores & Shopping, Boiling, New Products, EuropeIt seems to me that this is the ultimate invention for people who have very little time (or very little patience) yet still want a hot beverage in the morning. Tefal has designed a kettle that heats your water (approximately one cup) in just three seconds, as opposed to a standard kettle which takes just under three minutes. Aside from just the speed and the obvious energy / water saving aspects, the Quick Cup has a few more things going for it too - you can adjust the amount of water you need by the touch of a button, plus the kettle uses a filter so your water will have fewer impurities. In addition, a separate button allows you to simply extract room-temperature filtered water for those times when you don't need it piping hot. A little warning though - the water doesn't actually come to a complete boil, so you may not extract as much flavor from a tea bag and it won't be hot enough to sterilize anything. Otherwise though, it seems like a pretty efficient way to get some hot water fast. Currently the kettle is only available in the UK, but if it is a success I'm sure it'll make it's way over here soon.
