Goblin Teasmade in Canada?
 
A very strange question, but was the Goblin Teasmade ever sold in Canada? For the Canadian market with 110 volts?

I haven't found any mention of one yet, hopefully others might know!!
There's a Swan Teasmade that is/was made for the US and Canada markets, if that helps? :)

Probably not a very large market for them ................

people drink coffee rather than tea here, even a lot of brits have changed to coffee.

Every coffee machine we've had over here has had to delayed timer, so coffee can be ready first thing in the morning.

Use a coffee machine, instead of putting coffee in the machine...put a teabag in the mug. :D

Thanks for the link on the Swan Teasmade. Don't know how popular that was. In Canada it's more coffee anyway, and Tim Horton's is to strongly embedded in Canada's culture......

Outside of the UK, maybe Teasmades were also popular in Australia or NZ? They adopted more the British culture than Canada ever could.....

That's what I do with the Keurig machine if I have tea.

.......... that's what we do when we're staying in a hotel. There's always a coffee machine in the room, but we've only once also found a kettle, and that was within the last 2 years. It was either one of the Fairmont hotels or a Westin, wish I could remember which, then we'd make sure to stay there next time .

A Teasmade?! If you're any good at throwing darts, you could go back to 1980 and try your luck on Bullseye! "IIIIIIIIN ONE! making a cup of tea needn't be a chore, with this Teasmade tea maker! IIIIN TWO! It's a set of nesting tables!"
