    Ben and Mike, in the US college dorm rooms do not have a cooking surface in the room of any kind and you will get in huge trouble for having one. Eve sometimes something such as a air fryer or a microwave. So that hot water device would be great. Also with the advent of those camping size batteries and solar panel kits, you could use that camping when your not allowed a fire due to drought conditions.

    • @mariagoespro

    So that Egg Seperator. I actually use one in my day to day life. I'm a bartender by trade and on a night we will generally serve around 100-120 Whiskey/Amaretto/Yuzu sours at our bar, we take the whites and the kitchen takes the yolks to make a Hollandaise sauce with.

      @@TF_NowWithExtraCharacters The one we had was fully industrial dishwasher safe. So cleaning at the end was easy.
      However if you broke a yolk you'd need to be quick as to not have it seperate out into the whites. It's happened to me a few times, usually if im rushing, only making the rush even worse. BUt doing 3 or 4 at a time is no trouble what so ever.

      I think health and safety laws would prevent the idea of patients preparing their own hot drinks because of the obvious risk of scalding and also spillage and subsequent falls risks. The other thing is when you’re sitting getting treatment, you’re stuck in position as you’re attached to monitors and machines that are plugged into the wall. Having had infusions myself which take hours, it’s a proper faff even going for a wee! I’d definitely recommend taking a flask, some of those little long-life milk sachets or another flask to keep fresh milk cool and set up shop next to your station. In many treatment areas like this, the hospital volunteers will go around with a trolley to keep patients going with a nice cup of tea - worth their weight in gold ❤

    2 things I can think of: 1) In the US you rarely see kettles in offices. Coffee makers? Yes. Kettles? Not so much. If your coffee maker doesn't dispense hot water, it's kinda accepted to just boil water in the microwave which means no temperature control. 2) Most camping kits come with solar powered generators that you can plug into. It's mostly used to charge phones/emergency contact devices, but if you have one you could use this to get some hot water at a controlled temperature

    The water heater is simple: I can guarantee that device was designed and produced in Asia with the Asian market in mind specifically because there are places on the continent with strong supply chains and access to power but no potable running water built into the local domestic infrastructure. Drinking water comes in bottles, full stop, and this is an easier way to heat it up for beverages rather than use a stove or microwave or whatever.

      Also I don't know about East Asia/South East Asia, but here in India, in cities where 'drinking water comes in bottles, full stop' they don't come in 1 or 2 L bottles. They come in 20 L bottles, on which we attach a dispenser. Inserting this pipe into the bottle would be more of a pain, because I would have to remove the dispenser - than dispensing some water into a kettle.

    That hot water dispenser would be perfect for camping… I have a solar power system that also has an outlet built into it and it would be absolutely perfect for having a cup of coffee when you first start to set up camp before you even build a campfire… Absolutely love that

      Unless your walking a long way to your camp-site just bring a kettle. Cheaper and better.

      @@jaggsy420 takes up way more space… When you’re camping or hiking space and weight are of essential consideration

      @CrazySharp That's why I said if your not walking very far. Been camping plenty of times and brought a kettle. Small electric kettles exist for the exact purpose of camping and caravans and are at least half the price.

    I go straight to tiny living or camping with that hot water dispenser. I can see it coming in very handy in a car camper, limited on space but having an outlet

    Now imagine - making the waffles different colors. Along with several colored options for dipping. Waffles are find room temperature - the kids could have so much fun.

    Egg separator looks fun. Useful for people who need to separate a lot of eggs often. And some people with disabilities.
    I use an empty water bottle. Break egg into a bowl, suck the yolk into the bottle, eject yolk into another bowl.
    I don't like getting raw egg on my hands. 😊

    as a student in university, where tea costs about 2.5 euros per cup, the instant water brewer would already have made its money back in a month, while also being able to serve tea in the very short breaks between lectures! Also, think about the instant ramen noodles while waiting on a delayed train at 6:30 pm on your way home!

      But why not just buy an electric kettle? You can buy mini ones you know. That device is inefficient and way over-priced when compared to your bog standard kettle...

    I would imagine that the hot water dispenser, given that it has Chinese/Kanji on it, would be very nice for an apartment. I lived in Okinawa for 3 years and the apartments/studios there are SO small. Like small enough to where a full size kettle is literally too big for the kitchen.
