To have a kettle in the bedroom?

[Teaandcakepleasee]

I have, as of today, fulfilled my lifelong dream… I have a kettle in my bedroom! It has always been a dream of mine to purchase a teasmaid but they are hard to find and expensive. So I’ve bought a bright pink kettle, Lakeland milk sachets, coffee sachets, tea bags and now all I need is some biscuits 🍪

I am so excited to wake up tomorrow morning 🤣 I am also recently separated and doing whatever I damn well please 🤣 Life has been shite lately so I am seeking out a little joy where I can find it 💕

Have I finally lost the plot or am I a genius?! 🤣

Why would it be a faff getting water? She can fill the kettle from the bathroom tap.

Someone once told me, never, ever, drink from a bathroom tap

I have this set up now otherwise I have no time to finish a cup of tea in the morning before work. It's fab, I woke up early the first couple of mornings thinking about it 😆.

I use a small travel kettle and I just take a fresh mug of water up with me at bedtime and pour it in the kettle so I have exactly the right amount each day. Tea bags and milk sticks in a small bowl, it has a bit of a feeling of a hotel cup of tea 😊

I have a hot water dispenser, coffee stuff and I take up milk in a cool bag every night. I’ve had coffee in bed every morning for about 10 years now!

My parents used to use a little jug of normal milk and sit it in a bowl of cold water and ice.

Now you need an Alexa plug so you can just lie in bed and say 'Alexa, kettle on' so you don even have to get out of bed until the kettle has boiled.

That's only for older houses with a water tank in the loft or similar, things can fall in like dust, bugs and mice....
Love the OP's setup, if I lived in a house I'd be doing this, as it is I live in a flat and the coffee machine is only a few feet away anyway😂

Yes!! 🙌🏽

I love this idea.

Problem is I am up at 5.30 and DH at 6.15. I could however, banish him to the spare room from this day forth so I can have a little hotel setup. Hmmmm.

It’s a new build so should be ok 👌 I did worry about that? It would be water from my en-suite?

Surely this depends on whether you have a cold water tank or water direct from the mains?

I don’t drink tea, but do have a Nespresso coffee ☕️ machine next to the bed.

I think it would take more discipline to carry the dirty cup etc downstairs to wash. I carry enough downstairs each day already as it is.

Lovely set up. All sounds like bliss to me. As for the poster concerned about crumbs in the bed which is a good call, maybe you could invest in a small tray to catch the crumbs! As well as the mini fridge of course....

A pink kettle is much more civilized than a (v. noisy teas maid) I had one in my twenties, but it was never as nice as a home made cup of tea.

Yy to a little flask of fresh milk in the room.

Enjoy.

Lap. Of. Luxury.

Enjoyyyyy

😊

The bathroom cold tap is fine, the water comes from the same place as the kitchen tap.

It used to be said that you shouldn’t drink from the hot water tap, because the water would have come from a tank somewhere harbouring all sorts of unmentionables, rats and pigeons and anything else that had crawled in and died.

Not a problem with modern day plumbing but the habit lingers.

Do you have another small bowl for the tea bags and milk sachets debris in your setup, OP?

I have long loved my bedroom kettle. I fill it from the bathroom tap. I have a tin of the best teabags on the bedside table. Every night I take up a tray with a nice mug, the teabag squeezer, and a little plastic screw top 100 ml bottle of frozen milk from my stash in the freezer. By the morning it’s perfectly ready. I recommend you buy 10 x 100 ml plastic screw top bottles with lids, dishwasher safe. Every 10 days or so I get a litre of fresh milk, fill them all and put them in the freezer. Game changer. I really enjoy that first cup of tea in bed having hardly moved.

I have a little trolley next to my bed with a travel kettle, a bottle of water for top ups, teabags, coffee, spoons etc. I or DH put a teabag in a cup and fill the kettle before I go to bed (we sleep separately- bliss) so I only have to roll over and switch it on when I wake up.

I only drink redbush tea or black coffee so I don’t need milk.

I thought you'd lost the plot until you said this bit - "I am also recently separated and doing whatever I damn well please 🤣". Good for you. Enjoy!

Wouldn't you just wash it in the bathroom?

I don’t keep my Fairy Liquid in the bathroom strangely enough….
