According to SAFRANīs own website they are the worlds second largest aircraft equipment manufacturer. And contribute to safer and more sustainable aviation. Right.
Their products include hotcups, such as the one pictured and installed in a newly converted freighter. And it is an incredibly dumb design, without any lip to direct the flow of boiling hot water, so it goes out in a wide flow over the rim, resulting in burned fingers if one attempts to hold a cup under.
Also it is quite happy to boil itself dry and superheat. I am not sure at which point a cb would pop (not willing to try myself), but there appears to be no safety or temperature switch to safely turn it off. Itīs either on or off. How can this awful product be certified and considered safe? If this is the standard of SAFRANīs designs, what other stuff is out there?
