“Save two days a year with a wifikettle”
We’ve seen some bold claims in our time, but reading that an ‘iKettle’ could save us two days a year is right up there, however, it’s only fair that we do the math.
Let’s ‘agree’ that it takes five minutes to walk to the kettle, fill it, turn it on and wait for it to boil. Personally, I have three cups of either tea or coffee per weekday, only one at weekends. That’s 85 minutes a week. Equating to 73 hours and 40 minutes a year. That’s just over three days, but when I consider that I’m asleep a third of the time, it’s more than four days per year stood waiting by the kettle.
This is alarming, but of course, it’s what you do whilst waiting for the kettle to boil that is important.
The ‘iKettle’ has an app called ‘Smarter Appliances’ that allows you to boil water remotely. The app can also be integrated with an alarm, gifting you five more minutes in bed! How about this too, when you pull up on the driveway, the iKettle will start boiling, but only if you’ve told it to.
Hang on while I place my order…
Most people want to find more ways to be productive, and almost everyone wants more time, but it’s not always easy to find those things. Most people also want to reduce their waste, or reduce their negative impact on the environment. Being resource efficient is one way of doing that, and time is one of the greatest resources we have.
Thanks to the technology being applied to another product in the range, ‘Smarter Coffee’, you can use an app on your mobile phone or tablet to make your coffee. Thanks to the intelligent design, you can control the strength and taste of the coffee and auto-schedule times for it to prepare you a drink.
Both appliances will alert you when they need refilling, and the iKettle has four different temperatures, acknowledging that some teas require a lower heat to brew without burning.
Resource Efficiency
The resources in question are water, coffee and time. Both appliances only use the water they need, but then so does a kettle. Ok, so maybe water is not the best example of finding resource efficiency, but how about all the times you’ve spilled water making a hot drink? How about the times you’ve had to pour away a coffee because it’s not been made right? If you have a machine with the scientific knowledge of how to make a coffee, it’s surely going to have more resource efficiency with the coffee granules than yourself, right? What about the carafe; you can make up to 12 mugs of coffee at once with this jug, which saves a lot of trips to the kitchen if you have a group of people (or a serious caffeine problem). Because it’s all done intelligently, not a single bean is wasted!
Time. With all those minutes, hours and days that you earn by using a simple machine like this, you gain time that you can put into other things. If you spent that time wisely, you could read several books, start learning a language or even take a long weekend away! All thanks to a kettle, which you can purchase for around £100!
