BBC Breakfast has been slammed by viewers for featuring a segment about the perfect cup of tea.<\/p>\n
The discussion came about after presenter Jon Kay explained that a British tea company had spent \u00a350million developing a perfect modern tea bag.<\/p>\n
The idea is that you can have a perfect brew in 60 seconds rather than having to wait on your cuppa.<\/p>\n
He and fellow host Sally Nugent also revisited the premise later in the show, gushing over their own cups of tea that were sat in front of them with Sally exclaiming that her’s was a \u201cgood one\u201d.<\/p>\n
As they went through viewers advice about how to make the perfect cup of tea, and debated whether the milk should be added first viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to blast the feature.<\/p>\n

Can someone please do something reprehensible so these people have something to report on!?\u201d (sic)<\/p>\n @MarkTrucker1 agreed with this sentiment commenting: \u201cSlow News Day? Run out of Charity Runs or School Football to report on?\u201d<\/p>\n @lornemartin was equally unimpressed writing: \u201cAlways a shame when nobody at the BBC can fabricate a better story than should one squeeze a teabag. #slownewsday\u201d (sic)<\/p>\n A viewer called @GrandadPhil12 raged: \u201cPensions at risk, Little kids being attacked by dangerous dogs, sexual harassment in hospitals. And your talking about making tea ? As long as your not wasting my licence fee. #Banal\u201d (sic)<\/p>\n @GeoD173149 sarcastically opined: \u201cForget about Kim Jong Un and Putin collaborating to take over the World , forget about the economy and the cost of living issues , forget about MILLIONS of people on the nhs lists \u2026 Focus on how to make a cup of tea . It makes everything better . #bbcbreakfast\u201d (sic)<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> <\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Please can we not have to suffer this daily and have your news channel on 24\/7 even if it does means the likes of Gary lineker Clare balding and Jermaine jenus having to take a pay cut,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n However, some people got into the spirit of the segment sharing their top tea making tips on the social networking site.<\/p>\n @DavidJohn1224 advised: \u201cBest way is to put the bag in a cup, pour on hot water, leave for 2-3 minutes, remove bag then add milk. Should be a nice golden colour.\u201d<\/p>\n @chrisbrighton10 also offered his top tip saying: Always use a teapot , warm it and let brew for 3\/4 minutes.\u201d (sic)<\/p>\n
