It has come to my attention that not all people have heard of the wonder, the glory, the sheer genius, the best invention to come out of the UK... THE TEASMADE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teasmade
It's an alarm clock with an integrated electric kettle
It can wake you up in the morning AND HAVE A CUP OF TEA READY FOR YOU
It's truly humanity's greatest achievement
@troubleMoney I wish I could figure out building one, because they're not available in Australia (at least, not modern ones, and I'm not sure I trust the electricals on a vintage model).
Breville does still make one but it's $300 and only available in the US AFAIK.
The closest I can get here is a very expensive kettle with a temperature setting on it, which isn't quite the same...
@troubleMoney If only it came with a mini fridge for milk!
