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.

My sister in law had a Goblin Teasmade. She threw it out after her husband got very drunk and in the middle of the night decided to have a piss in the kettle portion, topping it up. Cue 6:30am boiling piss smell 😬

I'm humoured that you would say "sister in law and husband" rather than "my brother and his wife" like you just can't be related to some kettle peeing fool.

It could be OP’s spouse’s sister and her husband. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I never considered that. Good point.

Correct. It’s my ex-wife’s sister’s husband.
