I have a machine that keeps hot water on tap. You peasants heat your water up? I pour mine in the cup already boiling hot from the tap. Kettles are so 90s early 2000s.
Sounds like a huge waste of electricity
I use a kettle at home, but I’ve used a microwave at work. I don’t understand what’s remotely laughable about doing so. Boiling water is boiling water.
I’ll tell what is laughable is how America restaurants typically serve hot tea. They draw a small metal container of hot water from the spigot on the side of the coffee maker, and bring it to the table with an empty cup and a teabag. By the time the bag goes in the water, the water is far too cold to infuse properly.

Britain, do you really want to compare appliances?
I could put most of your fridges in my fridge.
I could put the whole bayuex tapestry in my washing machine.
I don’t even know if y’all can fit scrooge’s Christmas bird in your ovens.
I’m kidding around but the one thing y’all definitely have is better kettles that’s for damn sure.
Making better kettles is easier when your entire electric grid is optimised for it.
Seriously, 220 volts will just always get you a faster boil than 120. It’s physics.
We have 240 in kitchens but don’t use it for counter top stuff
We have 400V/16A, three phases, in kitchens for the proper stuff. That’s 19kW, if I remember correctly. Your strong power is like our standard power (240V/16A).
