I wonder if this thing (the one George posted) would be helpful to my
mother? She doesn't make ramen but she likes the occasional cup of
cocoa or tea. I didn't think about the hummingbird feeder I'd
just made "nectar" and hung hers up a couple of days before I left.

She doesn't have a microwave? I just put my mug of milk in the
microwave when I want cocoa. I use a tea pot on the stove to boil
water. I don't need any other appliances to boil water in.

Yeah, but her microwave is 21 years old and built in over the stovetop. She
can barely reach it. Not to mention the door "locks" stick; it's hard for
me to open so (as you can imagine) she really has to fight with it.
Something like this would be simpler, and I'd really like her life to be
simpler. She could always just use the stovetop to boil water, of course,
but she's liable to walk off and do something else and the water would boil
away. Something where she could push a button and have hot water for tea,
cocoa, a cup of boullion would be ideal.
