An Energy Saving of 65% and a Cup of Tea in Three Seconds
Posted in:
Only yesterday, I was talking to a member of the Green Options editorial team about the delights of tea – and we agreed, that Early Grey must rank as one of nature’s finest hot beverages for an afternoon’s pick-me-up.
The British Empire
Oh yes, think 4pm, the duchess summoning Jeeves to bring the best china, hallowed guests gather on the front lawn, croquet temporarily suspended as we congregate to imbibe.
So imagine my delight when I came across the following:
A kettle that boils the water in just three seconds.

Despite the romance of the scene described above, the empire has fallen, duchesses spin in graves, country estates now overgrown.
Yet tea is still tea and integral to our daily lives.
So thank you Tefal. For those, who like me, have patience worn thin by the intensity of modern life, at least we can now have scolding water in three seconds and the tea brewing before you can say Jack Flash.
Energy Saving
An energy saving of 65%. Watch out. With tea available so quickly, we’ll have that empire rebuilt in no time and the lawns shipshape before Jeeves can dust down his evening jacket.
“The Tefal QuickCup uses a heating system called OPTI Quick, a technology exclusive to Tefal, which heats water instantly without any preheating. OPTI Quick allows water to pass through the heating system in a spiral motion…”
As a nation, Britain gets through 165 million cups of tea a day. When you take this into account, the energy saved as a nation could be astronomical should this product take off.
