No. My dad used to fill the kettle before bed, then light the gas in the morning so it boiled while he shaved.
Can't remember what it had in it when shown on the TV advert but one of the containers being kept warm was Garden Peas. 
I bought Mum and Dad a Goblin teasmaid for Christmas about 1976, I think it was a tenner which was two months pocket money for me back then.
used to live in s Africa when I was a kid everyone had a teasmade,they used to live a white brick shed at the bottom of the garden,always good for licking the dinner plates clean as well
One of those Teasmade machines was made by a company called Goblin. Many years ago there was a joke which was a play on words on the product. Can't remember the joke but I think the punchline was a Goblin Teasmaid.
We had one. It used to take a bit of effort, pumping small spurts of tea at a time, to make a cup. Another of life's useless gadgets. A triumph for marketing.
I suspect the attraction when Teasmades were first introduced was that houses were not centrally heated so it was a great boon not to have to spend 10 minutes in the kitchen on a cold winter's day.
You weren't allowed to have a "Teasmade", unless you had a "Candlewick" bedspread, striped pyjamas, or a "Winceyette" nightie.
Teasmade????....We were so poor we used to put the Kettle on the fire when the Gas ran out.
