How to Give Your Tea a Voice with Gourmia Digital Transformation

Oh the thrill of of adventure is often defeated by the bitter taste of a cold beverage.

Whether it be occasional or full time, working independently from a home office is vastly different from the hustle and bustle of an office. Working from home means you’ll learn to rely on self-motivation, self-discipline, focus, and concentration. It also has its challenges and is often very isolating. Virtual working can also make switching off difficult, as the boundaries of working hours can be blurred. One of the biggest challenges I find working out of the home office is remembering to get up from the desk, take a break and even breath. Many of a time, have I pour water into a cup for a nice cup of tea, only to forget its there. Of course, later on in the day I arrived back at my tea station only to find my drink du jour (aka Earl Grey) is lukewarm tepid.

There is of course nothing worst than lukewarm coffee or cold tea…

Even the Cavemen hated Tepid Tea

Surprisingly (not) there is anthropological evidence to support why tea and coffee are best served either hot or cold. According to Karel Talavera of the Laboratory of Ion Channel Research in Cuba

“There are three main theories; the first holds that lukewarm coffee tastes bad because cavemen didn’t have refrigerators. Our ancestors did not eat food at extreme temperatures. Because piping hot or ice-cold coffee falls outside this realm of maximum taste, our taste buds don’t sense the drink’s true bitterness.”

Unfortunately, for the Flintstones, once the fire was extinguished on the morning java there were no alternatives available to warm up Fred and Wilma’s coffee.

The Future is now

Thank goodness that so much has changed in seven million years. The necessity of fire has been replaced with the wizardry of the Programmable Tea Machine. The Gourmia GDK290 Glass Electric Tea Kettle is the ultimate in coffee drinking transformation.

This Digital tea kettle is made from Glass and Stainless Steel and is capable of holding of up to 2 quarts of water. The transparent glass also allows you to clearly see how much water or liquid is left in the kettle and the clear level markings make it easier for you to measure out the right amount of water for servings and making tea.

The Gourmia GDK290 Glass Electric Tea Kettle comes with a programmable temperature pedestal control panel. Depending on your personal preferences the programmable temperatures cables you to boil your tea to your preferred temperature (between 122°F – 203°F). The kettle will beep when the liquid temperature set by the controls is reached. And should you get distracted and forget about your tea, don’t worry. The Gourmia keep warm feature allows you to enjoy a perfectly warm cup well after it was made.

In addition to the water temperature, Gourmia also allows you to adjust your tea strength simply by raising and lowering the built-in infuser without opening the lid. The Carafe detaches from the power base for easy pouring and even easier cleaning (hand wash).
