Yes, they are mad
Behold, the Teasmade. Yes, it is a combination alarm clock and teakettle. There were many, many models. They used to be very common here, I gather.
Onkle B’s parents had one by the bed for years and years. They also had an electric frying pan in the bedroom “so they could have breakfast in bed.” (No, I don’t really understand how that works, either).
There’s a coffee equivalent.
I love my coffee, but I’m not one of those “don’t talk to me until I’m on my second cup” people. I’ve been awake for a couple of hours before I get my first. The coffee shop on the corner makes mine, a black Americano.
Why I can’t call it an American in England just because espresso is Italian, I do not know.
