I got a Breville kettle that only boils a cup worth at a time. Game changer, meant I could brew up between games of COD back when I played it. I’ve never gone back to a regular kettle.
Yeah, I’m an American tea drinker, always have used an electric kettle. It still just takes a couple minutes or something, nothing major. I think it’s just fewer tea drinkers, maybe.
I don’t think I’ve ever been in a house that doesn’t have a kettle, is this not a common applience in all kitchens?

To my knowledge, they’re not very common in the US because their low voltages in households means that kettles take ages to boil.

iirc, the power thing made a slight difference but probably doesn’t explain the issue entirely.

More folks need to realize the microwave is great for heating water.
It’s great for heating a thing but the kettle is faster I think. Also to properly extract a teabag you need to pour over it.
You don’t own two cups? Just heat the water in one thing and pour over another lol.
Two cups?!
Look at the queen of England over here, drinking outah cups…
What if you’re making tea for multiple people. I can do about 5 good mugs with a couple of minutes boil in the kettle.
