<text>  When a baby is screaming for food in the middle of the night the two minutes it takes to boil water to heat the bottle can seem like a lifetime. A pair of entrepreneurs is hoping to make this easier by launching a kettle with a baby bottle preparation function. It lets parents schedule when the kettle should start boiling, which also also gives it time to cool down, to coincide with the expected feeding times. Scroll down for video . AppKettle was created by Loughborough University engineering graduates Robert Hill and Richard Hill. It is expected to launch on Kickstarter on 31 March and connects the smart kettle to an app to schedule boils . Alternatively, a parent can set the kettle to boil as soon as the baby starts crying so by the time they have got the infant out of bed and into the kitchen, the water is ready. And AppKettle wasnt just designed for new parents, it can also be used to schedule the kettle to be boiled before a user gets home or first thing in the morning, for example. Elsewhere, a connected app will reveal how much water is in the kettle so people know how many cups they can make, and this can ultimately save energy because kettles arent boiled too often unnecessarily.

AppKettle can additionally control the temperature of the beverage, depending on the type of drink being made, or control the timing of the brew.

The first 250 backers of Appkettle will be able to pre-order it for 79.99 119, although the aim is to eventually set a retail price of around 120 179 This follows a MailOnline story which found that for standard black tea, freshly boiled water should be used - with temperatures above 95C 203F. Water should be left to cool down for at least 30 seconds when making green and white tea, with a recommended temperature of 74C to 85C 160F to 203F. Oolong tea is best steeped in 85C 185F water, and herbal teas should be steeped in water with a temperature of 95C 203F. And regardless of the temperature, tea should be steeped for six minutes for the perfect brew, according to the British Standards Institute. AppKettle was created by engineering graduates Robert Hill and Richard Hill. They showcased the technology at the recent Venturefest innovation exhibition in York and are now preparing to launch the Appkettle on Kickstater on 31 March. The first 250 backers of Appkettle will be able to pre-order it for 79.99 119, although the aim is to eventually set a retail price of around 120 179. Robert Hill from Coulby Newham, said: We see the Appkettle as a multi-functional piece of equipment that is unlike anything else on the market. Its early days but weve been in discussions with a number of worldwide brands, including an international domestic appliance brand. The crowdfunding launch will allow us to gauge interest but as every day goes by, Im more and more confident that we have a product that will be successful. According to the British Standards Institute BSI guidelines for making the perfect cup of tea, the milk should be put in the cup first, the pot must be made of porcelain, there must be at least 2g of tea for every 100ml and the water must not exceed 85C 185F when served . According to the British Standards Institute BSI guidelines the milk should be put in the cup first, the pot must be made of porcelain, there must be at least 2g of tea for every 100ml and the water must not exceed 85C 185F when served. And these guidelines explained that black tea should be steeped for at six minutes. Steeping tea is the process of soaking a solid - in this case tea leaves - to extract flavours and soften it. For standard black tea, freshly boiled water should be used - with temperatures above 95C 203F. Water should be left to cool down for at least 30 seconds when making green and white tea, with a recommended temperature of 74C to 85C 160F to 203F. Oolong tea is best steeped in 85C 185F water. Herbal teas should be steeped in water with a temperature of 95C 203F. On average, a teabag weighs 2g but contains around 1.5g of tea leaves, so at least two bags should be used for a small pot of tea and at least four should be used for a larger pot. When made with milk, the tea should be made and brewed in the same way and then added to milk in the cup. The BSI is the business standards company best known for the BSI Kitemark.
