Tea lovers understand the joy of a perfectly brewed cuppa. However, waiting for the kettle to boil can be a time-consuming process. How often do we flick on the kettle and forget? Only to have to go back into the kitchen 20 minutes later and have to boil it again? If you're tired of the wait, it's time to explore the time-saving benefits of an instant boiling water tap. In this blog, we'll dive into how a boiling water tap can revolutionize your tea-drinking experience, based on the average daily consumption of 2.7 cups, as reported by Cartwright and Butler. We know, this seems low, but then again, there are some crazy people out there who don't drink tea!
- Traditional Kettles vs. Boiling Water Taps: The traditional method of making tea involves boiling more water than needed. However, with an instant hot water tap, you can eliminate the need for excess boiling and enjoy instant hot water. Let's compare the time required to make tea using a kettle versus a boiling water tap.
a. Kettle Time: As per the information from Ideal Home, some kettles with a 2.2kW element take approximately 3 minutes and 10 seconds to boil a litre of water. When boiling more water than necessary, this can lead to longer waiting times. Who has time for that? Not you!
b. Boiling Water Tap Time: With an boiling water tap, there's no need to wait for the kettle to boil. You can instantly access hot water at your desired temperature, ready to brew a delightful cup of tea in no time.
- Calculating Time Savings: Let's calculate the time savings you can achieve with an instant hot water tap based on the average daily tea consumption of 2.7 cups:
Time Saved per Cup = Kettle Time per Cup - Boiling Water Tap Time per Cup
Using the figures above, the time saved per cup would be the entire boiling time of the kettle, as the boiling water tap eliminates the need to wait. Therefore, the time saved per cup would be approximately 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
Daily Time Saved = Time Saved per Cup x Number of Cups (2.7 cups)
Hence, the daily time savings would amount to approximately 8 minutes and 29 seconds.
Yearly Time Saved = Daily Time Saved x Number of Days in a Year (365 days)
Based on these calculations, a boiling water tap would save you approximately 51 hours and 58 minutes of waiting time over the course of a year.
- Embracing the Benefits: Imagine the possibilities with an additional 51 hours and 58 minutes saved each year! It's over 2 full days worth of time saved! You could fly to Australia and back (or just go away to the Cotswolds for a couple of nights). You could run several marathons (although this might be better for the coffee drinkers - us tea drinkers like to relax) and you could watch nearly every Breaking Bad episode! Not bad for a small change to your kitchen!
Conclusion: Investing in a boiling water tap transforms your tea routine by saving you precious time. With time savings of around 8 minutes and 29 seconds each day, you'll accumulate over 51 hours in a year—time that can be utilized for self-care, pursuing hobbies, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment with your favourite cup of tea. Say goodbye to waiting for the kettle to boil and embrace the convenience, efficiency, and enhanced tea-drinking experience that a boiling water tap brings.
Please note that the time savings mentioned in this blog are approximate and may vary based on the specific model and functionality of the boiling water tap or kettle.
