Product Information

This appliance was made in the days before mandatory safety certifications, the unit doesn’t even bear a British Standard Kitemark.

Getting out of bed can be tough in the mornings, especially in winter when it can still be dark. That’s why the Wake Cup includes a Dawn Simulator. This helpful design feature gradually lights up the room 90 seconds before the alarm rings. This provides a gentle, less intrusive introduction to the day and works with the alarm to bring you to ready alertness. It remains lit for up to 30 minutes or until it is switched off manually. Throughout the 19th century the UK’s tea consumption increased and tea became affordable to even the poorest. Since the turn of the 20th century, Britain has remained one of the world’s most voracious per-capita consumers of tea. While there have been plenty of automatic coffee pots, it seems it's much harder to find an option for morning tea.

If you like to gradually start your day, there’s the snooze option. Once the alarm has rung, pressing the snooze button will schedule it to ring again in a short period of time so you get a second nudge out of bed.
