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

I enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me, it's the perfect way to start the day.

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?

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
