    Seconding an electric kettle, even a cheap one was a game changer over not having one at all. Crazy how 99.99% of people I know as an American don’t own one

        And coffee, though we usually have a dedicated machine for that.

      Most Americans don’t drink tea. The only things that I know they are used for are tea and instant noodles.

        Don’t let the pour over coffee crowd hear you. You’ll be done for. A proper gooseneck kettle is like top 3 priority.

        And if we do drink tea it’s frequently iced, so timeliness of the boiling isn’t a huge concern.

      I wonder if they’re more popular now. I took this in a Walmart in California. https://imgur.com/d5ae1Po Although about half of those are not electric!
