It's not that much slower. Our 20a outlets give 2,400w, while yours gove 3000w. And, it's still faster than a stovetop kettle. Its more that we don't make hot tea very regularly, while drip coffee was the dominant hot drink for so long.

I had to leave my 3k beast kettle in the UK as it would blow the circuit here in Oz. Everyone has a kettle here though as they still have the Brit DNA and lowkey love tea with their cricket.
