I heard on the radio today that the teasmaid is making a comeback - revamped to latest tech ....... Then I thought what 80's gadget would make a good come back ...... um.......
crumbs, i can remember when having one of these was a really must have status symbol, you were lord and lady muck proven by such illustrious ownership.
my mum and dad spent hours (and fortunes) at sea side bingo parlors and fair grounds trying to win one without success.
they dd eventually buy one after they went out of fashion, but did not us it for ong as it started its process about an hour before the alarm,the spitting, gugling and bubbling noises worse thana any dodgy indain curry bellyjust meant you simply woke up a lot earlier
.
by the time it produced the 2 cups of tea it was simply quicker to go boil a kettle and brew your tea traditionally - and if you did wait for the teas maid t complete its deliberations often as not either the milk had curdled or it just tasted awful
your better of getting a 3 second water heater but make sure it boils for tea, not heats wate just under boiling point as some do
