I still cant believe that slaphead cuntoid foley thought taylors only do coffee. What a fucking MUG he made of himself. 15 years i’ve been mugging him off now 
Anyone still using a kettle for tea? I’ve long since moved on to a Breville Hot Cup. I had my good friends @Bandage[/USER], [USER=56]@LetterkennyMan[/USER], [USER=2821]@Dexter and @Jugs around for afternoon tea today and they were thrilled with the water boiling experience provided by the Hot Cup. They were also quite taken with the tea tool* I use in lieu of a spoon for squeezing and removing the tea bag. We had a wonderful experience - brownies, lemon cake and tea.

What’s the noise level off those Hot Cup machines? My current kettle is very annoying with the din it produces, so I’d be very interested in an alternative.
Did you all wear your best frocks?
Be sure to place your used tea bags / tea leaves in the worm farm or compost bin, worms love them.
The last legitimate option on the poll should be “10+”, to cater for the sickos who enjoy 10 or more cups per day.
Short sleeve shirts and ties all round.
They’re certainly loud for a shorter time. Wouldn’t say they are hugely quieter at boiling point but definitely not as noisy as my kettle and they’re only loud for a second or two at most.
Tea is for mugs.
Indeed, I’ve never found a cup to hold an adequate amount of tea.
What the Hot Cup does:
[LIST]
[]It boils enough water for one cup of tea/coffee/lemsip at a time.
[]You fill the machine as normal with the same amount as a normal kettle roughly (say 6 cups’ worth) and then each time you press the power button it produces enough for one cup.
[]There is a variable switch to decide how much you want it to boil, from a small cup to a large mug.
[]It boils much quicker than a standard kettle, because it’s only boiling a small amount and because of its technology which I hope is patented.
[]I go over to the machine, press the power button, go to the press and take out a mug, place that under the spout, go to the fridge and take out the milk, then take out the tea tool from my drawer and bring those over to the Hot Cup and in that time it’s boiled and dispensing water so you’ve no wait time.
[]I understand the boil time is 40 seconds so it’s not instant but it’s appreciably quicker than a kettle.
[]If you’re making a second cup of tea for someone you just press it again straight away and in the time it takes you to tart up the first cup it will have dispensed the second cup.
[]It’s handy for up to 3 cups. Anything more and you’re into teapot and kettle territory.
[]The instructions obviously tell you to put the cup under the spout before you turn it on but obviously that’s boring and you’re much better off putting it on first and only getting the cup then. It’s like playing at being a barman or barista with time an important factor in your system.
[]If you need to boil milk for baby formula (and have Kev’s approval to use baby formula for a short period of time while your child is adjusting to the taste of fennel) then it’s particularly useful because you’re only boiling the water once which is what you’re supposed to do for baby formula which is awkward as fuck with a kettle.
[]It’s not like one of those always-on boilers that has instant boiling water where the water is manky because it’s always being boiled and where it can sometimes be less than boiling because you used it at an arbitrary point in the cycle that was furthest from boil-time.
[]Under no circumstances should you buy the first generation machine which dispenses a fixed amount. You need the one with the variable dispenser (second generation) or the one with the filter and the variable dispenser (third generation).

Weirdos
@Rocko - the household in which I reside is in bad need of a new kettle. I suggested the Breville Hot Cup to my roommate last night as soon as I heard about it from you. It sounds perfect to me. However, my roommate shut it down almost immediately due to hot water bottle concerns. Any way around this?
