Great Machine but nobody dunks their biscuit then puts it down.
The procedure is:
1. Dunk
2. Eat the soaked bits
3. Dunk again, until the tea almost reaches your finger tips
4. Put the rest of the biscuit in your mouth

Not as entertaining as the Colin Furze tea machine but Alan does put the milk in last which seems to be the preferred approach.
Does the K4 include the sequencing/timing software or just motor control?

All I can say is: NO, NO, NO. This is taking it too far. What next.
No to be honest. I think it is brilliant. We should develop one for coffee.

@thabatao I agree! We need one that makes the perfect coffee!
