I'm not seeing a reveal,  so I pumped names of a bunch of Japanese
electronics manufacturers into Duck Duck Go combined with the only
name I know such devices by: tea urn.  After Sanyo,  NEC,  and Seiko,  
I finally remembered Panasonic and discovered the Panasonic
GUREZB CBG.  

Actually the tea urns I mainly know are huge stainless steel ones
that sit tucked in the corner of old halls and other public
buildings seemingly forever.  Often sporting a dated-looking name
plate for a brand name that's soon to pass out of living memory.
