forteh Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Have cup of tea to wake up to (got a vintage goblin teasmade from the 70s - an alarm clock that feeds you tea automatically!) and take one to work in a travel mug. I drink water through the day and usually have a couple of cups of coffee when I get home after work. Pretty even with the amount we drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I have a coffee machine which has a timer to grind beans and give me fresh coffee in the mornings. It's very good for me, thus coffee is better than tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 what. what. what. what. what. what. what. what. ?!!??! tell me more. where do i get it?! will it make coffee?? Get on eBay, the original goblin ones command a retro tax these days and can go for silly money, you can pick them up cheap though. You can get modern versions made by swan but they don't have the same charm Essentially you fill the kettle up, put two tea bags in the pot and set the alarm. As it boils it pressurises the kettle which then syphons into the pot, brewing your tea. The alarm is offensive and WILL wake you up, it also turns a light on that really helps on dark mornings. I set the teasmade alarm for 6:45, my phone alarm for 6:50 to give 5 minutes brewing time. The pot makes three mugs, if you pour the last of the kettle out you can get a fourth. If you put coffee in the pot it works fine, my parents have used one for morning coffee since the 70s so it's a pretty memorable thing for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I don't think it will wake me up I think it'll wake my parents up though. Is this it? Haha looks so dodgy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Goblin-Teasmade-model-860-/331153136994?pt=UK_Homes_Garden_Kitchen_Kettles&hash=item4d1a43dd62&autorefresh=true Wasn't this done a few years ago?

forteh Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) I find it's really good for waking up, initially you get the low rumbling of the kettle coming onto boil, then as it pressurises it whistles through the lid and then sounds the alarm once it has syphoned the water. I have this one, they all have retro styling as they're 40 years old now!http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/121296233825?nav=SEARCH edit: if you get an original one the seal on the kettle element can perish and it causes the tea to taste horrible. I've replaced mine with a 1.5" id o-ring which seals fine and is good as new. The kettles are fully rebuildable so most problems can be solved, replacement pots and kettles come up on eBay regularly.

HippY Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Well, in the mornings, coffee makes amazing thing for me. from: "Ohh god, do not make me fall or else I am going to fall asleep on the pavement" it brings me to "Yes, I am in a class, I have no idea what we are doing here" and that is a huge thing, as I am not a morning person In the afternoon, I like to get some tea with milk, as they have beautiful taste Which one is better for me? Tea probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 All about tea with milk and 1 sugar,brewed for a fair while so its strong as fook. Been experimenting with coffee at work and don't mind it (I work at Costa coffee) but it'll never trump a good brew! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
