Hi there.
We have a tea urn named Ernie, (original eh). Anyhow, he serves us well, and delivers us our constant supply of caffeine rich beverages. Without him, well i really dont know where we would be,
So, sometimes Ernie gets turned off, to save electric. Obviously, during this time, Ernies water cools. Then when we turn him back on, it takes about 10 - 15 minutes to get him back to full brewing power.
So my question is, is should we leave Ernie on, so he only kicks in when the temperature drops a little, also meaning that we can have spontaneous cups of tea, without the need to pre empt a caffeine kick by 10-15 mins, or, is turning him off and on the best solution. We have a cup every 60 - 90 minutes.
We are also considering getting Ernie a jacket, and a little bobble hat, this would also help his efficiency
Ernies usually holds about 5 litres of water, and we fill him up every day,.
