Tefal Quick Cup - Hot and Cold Water in 3 Seconds

Tefal Quick Cup - Hot and Cold Water in 3 Seconds

Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Have you ever been gasping for a cup of tea but can't be bothered to boil up the kettle? Or wished you had a way of making a cup of coffee or a hot chocolate in one mug full? Now, thanks to a revolutionary new hot water dispenser and water filter hybrid called Quick Cup, you can.

Tefal Quick Cup is an extremely clever invention as it serves hot (not boiling) or cool water on demand in only 3 SECONDS and uses only a third of the energy of an ordinary kettle - so a great time, energy and money saver.

Thanks to a unique "Opti-Quick" technology system (a patented innovation by Tefal), you don't need to pre-heat your water. With the push of a button, the water is sent up the heating element in a spiral movement, heating it immediately as it travels. This way, no energy is wasted on heating water you don't need, or boiling water you don't use. In fact, Quick Cup provides an energy saving of up to 65% compared to a standard kettle, helping you to save on bills too. Tefal energy experts have calculated that there could be a £31 cost-saving per year using Quick Cup compared to an ordinary kettle. So if you are thinking of replacing your kettle and want to help reduce your carbon footprint, then Quick Cup could be the best way to help put your energy-saving intentions into action.

Tefal

Tefal owes its origins to a Frenchman, Marc Grégoire, and his wife, Colette. M. Grégoire, a keen fisherman, wanted to make his rod reel in more smoothly and, in the 1950's, experimented to see if a non stick coating might provide the answer. It did! But it was his wife who made the real breakthrough by gently suggesting that coating the cooking pans would have a more worthwhile application by making them easier to cook with and simpler to clean. Now, Tefal is the number one name in non-stick products and small appliances, operating in over 120 countries. Tefal remains committed to making household tasks easier and cooking results better, through a constant flow of new ideas and technology.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Unquestionably the best device for making the worst possible tea, 25 Nov 2007
    By HP Sauce (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
    Had I paid attention to my own advice and read all the other comments here, I would have known that the 'Quick Cup' is known for turning into a 'No Cup' not long after you buy it. Mine broke just a fortnight after I wrote the review below, and I'm now going to have to go through the fuss of replacing it. Stick with your kettle!

    ***

    Drop a thermometer into a mug of freshly produced Quick Cup water and it'll barely register 85 degrees. Frankly I've had baths in warmer stuff.

    Those of you who understand what you need for a proper cuppa will know that the water must be boiling hot (as in 'not 85 degrees'), and if you read the rest of the comments here -- the majority of which identify the exact same flaw -- you will not make the same mistake as the people who wrote them and will wisely steer clear of such a poorly implemented great idea.

    Those of you who don't mind drinking tea that looks and tastes like you've held a cup under the drain from your sink, highly recommended.

    P.S. It makes really awful Pot Noodles as well. The noodles won't cook if they're not boiled, so you end up with something not far removed from cockroach legs in stagnant water. It's not pleasant.

    P.P.S. I realise that admitting to eating Pot Noodles pretty much invalidates my opinion on anything but I was hungry.

    4.0 out of 5 stars a good idea but not quite perfect, 17 Mar 2008
    By Mrs. Rebecca Thorn "beccamm31" (Belgium) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    First of all, after reading the other reviews, i have to say i only drink coffee so i have no problems with the water temp.

    Its a great idea and ideal for a cup/mug but if i was making coffee for a few people i would more than likely use the kettle. it is quick but the slow water stream means u have to stir as its filling and I have to hold the mug up because other wise is spits drops of coffee all over the place.

    Hopefully the next model/s will take care of a lot of the problems

    1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this product if you are a tea drinker, 7 Sep 2007
    By blindbrotherhod (West of the Shire) - See all my reviews
    This is not a kettle, it is a hot water dispenser. To be fair it is quite a good hot water dispenser, the water spurts out rapidly, if rather noisily. But if you are a tea drinker then you will know that boiling water is required to pour onto the tea to release the flavour. And it does not boil the water, so tea tastes insipid and bland. If you are coffee drinker, then this product may be of more use to you. To give an indication of how un-hot the water gets, by the time I have added milk and sugar to my coffee I can drink it quite comfortably and within a few minutes the mug has pretty much gone cold.

    All the environmental claptrap that is used to market this is compete rubbish; it maybe more efficient, use less electricity, reduce your carbon footprint, blah blah, but this is basically a scam. They cannot be comparing a water boiling kettle with this product, as they do not do the same things. And by the time that you take into account the designing, manufacturing, transportation, marketing costs and resources, into something which is now sat in my kitchen gathering dust, and the fact that I have had to go out and purchase a kettle (not tefal) that does actually boil the water, then you feel a little bit like you've been conned, and the all those precious, saved resources are instead wasted

    If you like the convenience of warm coffee within seconds it's great. But it's expensive, it's noisey and it does not boil water like a 'normal' kettle. Add to this the fact that they seem to be cashing in on people's carbon foot print concerns to sell product, rather than a well designed, well functioning product that sells because it's good at what it does, and I feel that tefals shine is definitely tarnished.

    Read the reviews above, who the hell pays £50+ for a 'state of the art' kettle and then has to put their tea in the microwave for 20seconds to warm it up!
