I cannot really see my having a use for that, even if they were to give
me one. Another gadget to use twice, then stuff in a cupboard when you
get fed up of the faffing.

Hmm, by my calcs to heat a cup (330ml ?) of water through 90C takes 35Wh.
Given a fully charged 18V 4Ah cell that should be good for two cups.
Think I'll stick to my Thermos full of boiling water thanks.

Oops I didn't think to do that sum; good spot!

Mains powered bean-to-cup machines are wonderful, though.

I hadnt done the sums but it does seem particularly pointless. I did
wonder if it was originally prepared for April Fools day?

I don't think so. Seems to be a genuine market for this type of novelty.
Plenty of USB powered kettles and toasters still around ready for the
unwitting purchaser.
