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

It's an '80s alarm clock with a built in teapot. When you go to sleep, you put cold water in the kettle and a teabag in the pot. Five minutes before wake up time, the kettle warms up and comes to a boil. When the alarm goes off, the tea is ready. Nice way to wake up. 🙂
