John Lewis has introduced the new Swan STM100 Teasmade, offering a modern twist on what it says is a "much-loved British classic".

"The nation's love affair with the electric automatic Teasmade can be traced back all the way to 1891 when its inventor, Samuel Rowbottom, developed the first 'teawaker', which was then known as the Teasmade from 1932", says John Lewis.

The Swan Teasmade features a new sleeker and more contemporary design, a 600ml water capacity, rapid boil function, an integral reading light and an illuminated LCD alarm clock.

It goes on sale now in John Lewis stores across the country for £59.95.

  • Well, fine, but what we need to know is whether this new Teasmade is really functional or not (no information on the John Lewis website, apart from brandname, capacity, wattage etc). Does the noise of the water being boiled wake you up before the alarm goes off? Is there a matching tray and cups? Is the reading light really bright enough to read by? What noise does the alarm make? Does it have a radio? With MW and LW so you can get BBC R4 wherever you are? Does it have an iPod attachment so that one could be woken up by one`s own preset choice of music? Is there an optional mini-thermos for keeping the milk cool overnight? Was Alessi consulted? And so on. Posted by Alfresco Banquet, Belgium
