Sims excessively 'Grab a Drink' with 'Tea Magic Personal Brewer' after brewing

The teapot that is part of base game seems to cause odd behavior in the Sims.

When autonomusly making tea, the Sim occasionally first takes 1 cup and simply places it on a desk and walks to take another cup.

Additionally, taking a cup of tea and drinking it causes the Sim to stack additional iterations of taking cups of tea (I attached a screenshot of this, I did not tell the Sim to perform the 2 additional teamaker actions).

What I expect would happen would be for Sim to cook 1 pot of tea and then drink 1 cup before queuing any future actions.

My sims will brew a pot of tea then proceed to drink cup after cup after cup, nonstop as well. I’ve stopped using the tea brewer.

Yeah, I love using it, but it's frustrating to cancel the queue every time. Even with autonomy off.

It’s still bad, but if was far worse when the brewer made 8 cups of tea instead of 3 — I reckon this change might be connected to the Sim’s obsession with tea.

I have same problem but now I just let the sim that made the tea pour all the drinks, then I select who's drinking and put the rest in the fridge for later. If I have guests, I'll have the sim pour all the drinks not needed and put those in the fridge; then everyone "helps themselves" till it's all gone.

I am also experiencing this issue. I rarely play with the tea brewer but decided to put one in my current house and if one of my sims makes a pot of tea, the whole household will get non-stop queuing for cups of tea until it is all gone.
