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 😬
