"I have been using this product for over six months now and like it a lot. You simply put your teabag or coffee in the mug, place it under the spout, press the hot water button, and it automatically stops when your mug is full. It fills a normal sized mug to just about the right level. You can keep your finger on the button if you want to fill it to your own desired level. It saves having to lift a boiling kettle of water. The water heated is just below boiling point so your cccuppa may not be as hot as you are used to. I put less milk in mine than I used to and its fine. My only complaint is the noise it makes, its rather noisy, but the noise only lasts for three seconds or so. It is quick and easy. I recommend this product! Annabel"

Auto Bin


This amazing kitchen waste bin in stainless steel finish, has a 50 litre capacity, but what makes it special is the infra-red detection system that operates the lid!
As you approach the AutoBin it senses your presence and automatically opens the lid!
Beware though! You need to be quick to scrape your waste into the bin before the lid slams shut upon you!
I'm not sure that it's a gadget that makes life easier in any way, but for the gadget lover, it's a must.
My brother, Derek, has an Auto Bin and says, "It's cool, however, I only have a small kitchen and every time I go anywhere near the thing, it slaps the lid open with a clang! It's only missing the "feed me!" voice."
Currently available from Macro for £49.99
