Guido Had a Strong Aversion to Overbrewed Oolong

In search of the perfect cuppa, Guido engineered this simple, battery-operated tea timer with a built-in LED display. Just fix a tea-bag on the mechanism's extension arm, place a cup of hot water beneath it, and push a button according to the desired brew time. The microcontroller-operated, 5V circuit provides a servo motor with control pulses to lower and raise the extension arm. The brew process can be interrupted via a stop button, while the power supply is switched off automatically via FET.
