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

In case anyone reading this thread is wondering what a teasmaid is. It is an alarm clock that wakes you up with a cup of tea. They were all the rage in the 80s.

Edit: to make sure /u/giganticturnip did not think I was talking to him directly.

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?

I prefer the mister tickle way of making breakfast in bed
