In Denmark there's also this thing that is just built-in boiling water in your faucet - in addition to your cold and warm water.
I have been angry that they aren't available in the US since I found out about them. My integrated hot water tap only gets to like 85°C
For me it's the sign of ultimate home luxury. You can spend 1.5k to move your kettle into your faucet, the ultimate thing that is as unnecessary as it is cool, as cost-ineffective as it is weirdly efficient.
It's definitely a luxury if you're doing it on its own. If you're remodeling a kitchen or building a new house, it's more like a rounding error.

I live in a house with 4 other tea drinkers; our instant hot water tap has paid for itself 20x over lol
How has it paid for itself? Or are you just saying you really enjoy it? Very casual tea enjoyer here.
not having to buy a new kettle every few years for one :D
fewer fights about who's putting the kettle on lol
I'm glad you like it, but a kettle is about $20, I can't imagine that's anything near "paying for itself." I love my tea, but I'm a broke bitch, those words mean different things.
yeah I get that about you. good luck tho
Oh, I'm a bit crazy about my teas, half of the time I drink greens, and the boiling water is too hot for it
Pour in some cold water first. Takes a bit to find the right mixture ratio, but you can get the temperature you want consistently
good luck!
Ugh. A web"app" that only shows everything else until i lower my browsers guards. And entirely ignores
prefers-reduced-motionbut has flickering issues instead. Great. Web dev failed the job successfully.
