What is this thing ? At first I thought it was an old CPAP and then an espresso machine!

Why not get a timer plug and have it come on before your alarm goes off so you don't need to get up first?

That was a Michael Scott quote - he doesn’t actually do that.

It does the same thing but from 40 years ago. It’s the British (hot tea) version of a timer drip coffee machine. Which I, as a coffee person, depend on for my daily existence

Make it a wifi timer plug so you can turn it on from your phone.

OK, This is brilliant. I was worried about them just having it on a timer and sleeping in or through an alarm one day.

You can sleep through an alarm, you can’t sleep through bacon

Hold my beer. I’ve fallen asleep while motorcycling. I’ve also fallen asleep with coffee in my mouth, awakened only because of the coffee dribbling out of my mouth on to my shirt.
