Although i like things that are simple and just work, dont fix it if it aint broken, and hate over-engineered technology… It still is funny to me that if we want to heat things up, we do it by running current through a piece of metal. Isnt there a more efficient way? I guess not or we would be using it.
Excluding heat pumps, that’s as efficient as it gets physically.
Regular tea drinkers do. Otherwise, they aren’t useful.
Light tea drinkers don’t have a use for them because for single cups now and then, you’re better off nuking the water to temp.
Hell, I have a cup almost every day, and that’s still not worth having another thing on the counter for.
The U.S. is more into coffee than tea overall. But I know plenty of people that drink tea often enough to merit having one and using it.
It’s also faster than boiling a pot of water on the stove so you can save time if you run it through the kettle and then poor it into a pot on the stove to boil whatever you were making.
Which can also be done with the microwave without having to get an extra device
Microwave can heat MORE water than a kettle, too. Unless your microwave is oddly small or your kettle freakishly huge, that is
Or you don’t own a microwave.
Same reason tea drinkers don’t use coffee pots. :)
But if the dude wants his mind blown, he needs to boil that water on an induction stovetop.
You didn’t watch the video, did you? He does test it.
ITT: People thinking Alec would forget some obvious thing and not have made entire videos about each possible tangent.
I don’t get it. I text my wife something like “Technology Connections just put up a one hour video about dishwashers” and it’s the first thing on our watch list that night. Do other people not do this?
I do
My wife rolls her eyes and walks away cuz she doesn’t care but her life is about to get 1% more efficient as I force change on our house
(His video on dishwashers actually got me to change her fucking behaviour around it and now our dishwasher works properly thank fuuuuuck)
