Tea, anyone?

I see in Flight Global that BA is to introduce a new blend of tea which tastes as good in the air as it does on the ground, compensating for the fact that water boils at 8000 ft cabin altitude at about 92 deg. C.

In my new home I have device called a Quooker, which gives instant boiling water (and a fine cup of tea without boiling the kettle !) I believe this device actually produces boiling water at a temp. ABOVE 100 c as it is pressurised to above ambient.

Are there any technical reasons why we couldn't have such a device on an aircraft with the pressure in the device at or above MSL pressure, and decent cup of English breakfast

(Well, it makes a change from 787 batteries !!)
