I mean, my electric kettle boils water in like 45s, so it's really not a big deal. I drink pour over coffee, so I just start the kettle and by the time I'm done setting up my coffee it's done.

I wouldn't even have that if it hadn't been gifted to my wife for her business before she closed it. My microwave is perfectly capable of boiling water without having yet another single purpose device cluttering up the kitchen.

We only run 120v here, so it takes forever to heat up a decent amount of water. Plus, we drink a lot of hot drinks. We prob go through two to three liters a day.
