Review on ☕️ G&H Tea Services Thames Oasis: The Perfect Sand Timer for Brewing Tea in 3-4-5 Minutes by Elwanda Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little hourglass!

Advantages:* Well done. Appears to be stainless steel. No sharp edges; has a good sense of quality * accurate enough to be within a few seconds for each glass * requires no network connection; no batteries required; works in case of power failure, etc., etc. * Almost foolproof. Cons - nothing worth mentioning Some reviewers mentioned that they felt the timer wasn't accurate enough for their needs. Let's start here; You're pouring sand through a hole! Brewing tea or coffee (or preparing boiled eggs) is an estimate anyway, so a few seconds won't make a noticeable difference in the result anyway. If you need more precision, get a digital timer! My tests: * 3 minute glass + - about 2 seconds * 4 minute glass about the same * 5 minute glass about 10 seconds longer I'm happy with it for its intended purpose. Your mileage may vary. Hope that helps.
