A new social network has been launched with the sole intention of making it easier for office workers to make a cup of tea for colleagues.

OfficeCuppa.co.uk allows users to create a profile detailing how they like their drink, from the strength of the tea to the quantity of milk or sugar.

They then add themselves to other peoples lists - ensuring that whenever a pot of tea in their office is made they get a drink, and it's how they like it.

A spokesperson for the site said: "This site could mean the end of ever needing to repeat that question “How to you take yours? Those who enjoy tea now have a way of reminding their colleagues that a ‘middling’ brew is not for them."

The lists can then be printed out, viewed on a mobile phone or a computer screen… and isn't every kitchen hooked up to the internet nowadays.
