How Long Does it Take To Make A Cup Of Tea?

The Internet can be a source of remarkable information.  In putting together our Staff Costs Calculator, we stumbled across a Yahoo! forum thread with exactly this question.

As you can see, the average time that members think it takes is around 5 minutes, significantly longer than the time we have used in our calculator.

At the other end of the spectrum, there is the comment that it only takes 30 seconds once the kettle has boiled.  That is far less than we have used in our calculations for running a Thirstpoint Hot machine.

In other words, our calculations are very conservative.  If you plug these times into the calculator, you end up with a saving of over £10,000!  See for yourself by changing the numbers in the calculator.
