Why - you may ask - have some of mankind's greatest minds spent the last 120 years inventing around 100 incarnations of TEASMADE-type devices? The answer can be expressed in this simple existential truth:

If you don't have a Teasmade then you have to get out of bed to make your morning cuppa - like some sort of caveman!
