I live in a house where the kettle can’t boil fast enough. Everyone has their first morning cuppa well before 9am, and it’s pretty much on repeat until 9pm. Last week, I shared a hack that meant I was boiling the kettle half as much , saving around £25 a month, and so many readers suggested I invest in a Breville HotCup.
I drink approximately eight cups of tea a day, more when we invite family and friends around, with a chocolate digestive - okay, two. It means I’m constantly adding the amount of water I need to the kettle to boil, so I was intrigued to see if a Breville HotCup would help save me time, energy and money.
I bought the Breville HotCup VKT124 model, which is said to make six to eight cups of tea. I set it up on my kitchen counter and since then, I’ve completely ditched the kettle and resigned it to the pantry.
