I take it you don't make pasta often?

Every hot drink, every time you boil anything.

My kettle was $200 specifically for good pour over 🤷‍♂️

It's for families of tea/hot water drinkers who drink many small cups throughout the day.

Depends on your electric output and how often you do hot beverages/noodles . But we prob use about two to three liters a day, which would take quite a bit of time with 120v.

Also, you can get some that only run like a hundred bucks.

Makes more sense then. I’m on 230V so boiling water for one cup is a matter of maybe a minute or so
