It's not yet perfect. I have had IBM voice recognition software for the last 20 years, so the voice command should be the smallest problem. At the moment I could only activate the 3D printer to print a mug, but would have to make the tea myself when it's finished.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

At work, I mostly drink coffee (even though we have one of those dreadful machines with the pods).
I'm trying to switch to rooibos tea.
I've also challenged the office tea drinker as they all say they can tell the difference between
Tea Bag->Mug->Hot Water->Milk
Tea Bag->Mug->Milk->Hot Water
Mug->Hot Water->Tea Bag->Milk
However, none have taken up the challenge

I'm sure they would Hot Water, Mug, Milk, Tea Bag the wet patch on the floor would give it away...

I'm not sure even that would clue a couple of them!

I used to drink tea at work until one fateful day in Budapest.
We went to the buffet in the office and I ordered tea from the Soviet era haridian.
She took a Styrofoam cup...
Added milk...
Dropped in a tea bag...
Poured in some hot water...
Removed tea bag...
Gave me the cup.
It was the single most disgusting tea of my life and I switched to coffee.

I think I see the problem.
The Hungarians might know about the Russian-style tea (black, with a sugar cube held in the mouth between the gums and the cheek), but why should they know about the British style?
Ad astra - both ways!

In the morning it goes like this
Grind beans -> Boil water -> pour coffee powder -> stir -> drink.
In the evening (4:30 ish).
Go out -> feel your eyeballs heating up (I live in NOIDA India) -> Get a cup of hot ginger tea -> drink.
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking.

Two family size bags (Lipton, Tetley, or Luzianne) into the teapot, heat to boiling, remove from heat and let steep at least 15 minutes. Pour into a gallon pitcher onto just under 1 cup sugar, stir until sugar dissolves. Fill rest of pitcher with cold water.
What? I'm a good Southern American. Love my sweet tea.
(My mother-in-law used to put 2 cups per gallon, too sweet even for me.)

Reading all the replies so far...I remind myself that I won't drink anything that requires some sort of ceremony to prepare.

Woah, I follow NATO standard too but it's easy to figure out why: the mug is mine, the tea bags are in my drawers and the hot water dispenser is in the common space. I assemble all I can at my desk, get the hot water and then out of the common space to my desk... it's simply the most efficient way.
I also do that at home since water takes time to get hot so I preassemble everything at the table while waiting for the hot water.
Adding milk before the water seems just wrong, don't ask me why.

Leaf tea - pot - boiling hot water - brewing time - mug - none of that cow juice or sugar muck.
Currently using a selection of Fortnum & Mason's leaf teas, as bought for me by my darling daughter. At the moment I'm being a rebel by drinking Afternoon Blend in the morning!

I'm curious - I still love to code but I also love to do other stuff in my spare time (when I get any!). What do you guys do and, if you could, would you swap coding for your primary hobby if you could make money?
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.

Chemist. Convert beer and wine into urine.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Besides privateering, biking and photography are some of my hobbies. In a former life I even was a professional photographer
