1988 Philips Two Cup Tea and Coffee Makers
Philips first became linked to the manufacture of automatic tea makers when it took over the Ekco Heating and Appliances business in Hastings in about 1977. However, I have been unable to trace any teasmade manufacturing activity. In about 1990 they began to produce two mug tea and coffee makers.

1991 Salton Two Cup Tea and Coffee Makers
Salton brought out a very similar Two Cup tea or coffee maker in 1991 at £21.50, but it did not have a clock radio module. It remained on the market until at least 1994.

1994 Goblin Radio Teamatic R 10650
In 1994 Goblin Ltd re-entered the teasmade market with the digital Goblin Teamatic 10610 and then the radio version, the Goblin Radio Teamatic 10650R . At this point the Teasmade trademark did not belong to Goblin. Goblin withdrew the Radio Teamatic in January 1997. * * * * * *

In 1994 Goblin Ltd re-entered the teasmade market with the digital Goblin Teamatic 10610, which was made in China. At this point the Teasmade trademark did not belong to Goblin. Goblin withdrew the Teamatic 10610 in 1998, making this model the last Goblin branded teasmade in production.

1994 Goblin Teaomatic
Apparently identical to the Teamatic, except for the name, in a 600w unit. The date for this version is unknown but would seem to be similar to the 10610.

In the 1990s Russell Hobbs explored the market for Two Cup Tea and Coffee Makers. I have found two models, neither of which had a clock or radio module. The model on the left appeared in the 1994 Argos Catalogue at £21.50. * *

1995 Health-o-meter Mrs Tea HTM1
The closest the Americans ever got to embracing the teasmade was the Mrs Tea tea maker HTM1. Health-o-meter, owners of Mr Coffee, introduced Mrs Tea in 1995. The first products shipped in September 1995. The full advertising campaign began in November to tie in with the Christmas shopping

2002 Micromark Time 4 Tea
In 2002 Micromark bought the original tooling for the Goblin Teamatic, and from that base, they manufactured the Time 4 Tea. It was first offered for sale in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday 28th September 2002. Their press release read: Leading electrical manufacturer, Micromark, is branching out by launching the

2003 Micromark Teaexpress MM9889
Undaunted, and perhaps wiser for a negative experience with the Time 4 Tea, Micromark decided to create a new teasmade featuring their own modern tooling. The new design, the Teaexpress MM9889 was released to the market in October 2003. The Teaexpress was a four cup tea maker and was manufactured
