Tefal QuickCup Review
A bit of a werid post for my site but none the less here it comes :). I work from home most days and thus get through about 7 or more cups of tea a day. Each cup requires a 2 or 3 minute boil of the kettle and at 3kW that’s an interesting hidden cost of a cuppa. Well looking to somehow cut our electric bill I’m using energy meters everywhere. In that process the kettle keeps coming up trumps as the big spender :). So I spotted the Tefal QuickCup on the gadget show a few months ago and wondered if it was out yet. Well apparently it is and a quick check with Argos and 2 days later it’s here.
Simple review as it’s a simple product … it does exactly what it says on the tin. Very hot water out the top from cold in seconds. It holds about 6 good cup fulls and is easy to fill. Has a filter on it though I don’t really care about that and wonder if it will work without it, I assume it does.
It does however make a bit of a noise (sounds just like the hot water maker thingys in cafe’s) and it spits and splashes a little. The noise was a little off putting at first but then the ease of use and potentail energy savings speek for itself. 1 day in and you kinda don’t notice the noise anymore.
There should really even be a trade in of your old kettle to this new one under a potential “green” badge … marketing people you listening ? I hearby predict that the old kettle’s days are numbered. There’s completely no point in waiting for hot drinking water any more.

Nice one mate, I was thinkin about getting that but was put off some reviewers, but your sounded very positive. Now you got me thinking, maybe the model you have is probably slightly improved after few month of release date. Cheers and keep up the good work.
