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
Boiling water is only for pasta to Americans
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.
