MBT – Keep it simple

Totally – it made me chuckle when I saw a video of someone singing the praises of something called a “Perfect Tea Maker”. Seriously.

When did it need to become so complex, I get the measuring out the tea (I’ll prob buy a small set of electronic scales for about £7 on amazon) but the rest of it, there really is no need.

It all stinks of mass marketing, we’ll tell you you need it, you will believe it.

Kettle
Tea
Pot
Boiling Water
Strainer / Infuser

Joking aside, how or why has it all become so technical. For hundreds of years the existing ways work just fine.
