Reddit ranks alongside Facebook and YouTube as a top time-waster for many. You start by checking your favorite sports subreddit, only to lose hours on gems like /r/idiotsfightingthings. As seasoned tech enthusiasts who've tested countless Alexa skills, we recommend a smarter, free alternative for your daily Reddit dose.
A new Alexa skill makes it effortless. Called Daily Cup of Tea, it's available for free on Amazon. This reliable tool delivers top Reddit posts via voice, either as a Flash Briefing or standalone skill. We've used it daily to stay updated without endless scrolling.

For the uninitiated, Flash Briefings are customizable news updates Alexa reads aloud. Enable it via your Alexa app: Settings > Flash Briefing > Get more Flash Briefing content.
Your interaction varies by version.
For Flash Briefing, use commands like “Alexa, what's my Flash Briefing?” or “Alexa, what's on the news?”. Navigate with “Next,” “Previous,” or “Cancel.”
For the standalone skill, say “Alexa, open Daily Cup of Tea,” “Alexa, ask Daily Cup of Tea for my tea,” or “Alexa, ask Daily Cup of Tea what's going on.” Alexa will read the latest top Reddit posts.
Daily Cup of Tea uses a fixed list of subreddits—no custom preferences or Reddit account linking yet. The developer assures these features are in development for future updates.
