My missus had one of these too
but her problem was that it was overenthusiastic so you woke up to it spitting boiling water all over your face.

Is that really sensible?

No, not really
You either have to put it on the other side of the room, in which case you can't lazily reach over and pour the tea, or risk scalding.

If she's interested in selling
I think I might have found a solution to my morning laziness.

You're welcome to it
It's currently sitting in the cellar caked with years'worth of caked on tea-gunge.

That's what you told her the hot liquid landing on her face was anyway.

If yours comes out at boiling point,
you're probably rubbing it too hard.

My brother had one that ended up spitting at him...
It would always wake me up when we shared a room, and I'd lay there sniggering quietly as it built up steam, then it would spit and
"Bollocks! fucker!" my brother would go, then blearily get up and fuck off to work, leaving me to enjoy the nice fresh cup of tea :)
