LinkPizza 04/20/18 10:39:26 AM #120:	Even if it's faster, it's not really that much faster. It takes less than 10 minutes to boil water. On pretty much any stove that's working. We keep saying have the time. But that's a couple minutes at best. When it comes to drinks, a Keurig would be faster(and more effecient) since you just push two buttons while the cup is underneath. And most of the time, when cooking, people aren't usually in a rush. Cooking usually takes time, anyway. Trying to finish cooking something faster could make stuff taste not as good. So, I don't really see why I would need to boil water faster, especially when I would most likely need more than a liter when cooking. If you don't have a Keurig, then I can see it being useful, as they are probably a cheaper option. But it's definitely not for everyone. For some, they need it in their lives. And other just don't. Even without a Keurig, I don't think I would need it.

I didn't miss anything. Your method is dated. My method may be dated, but it's superior in that stovetop kettles are far less inclined to break. Cool that yours has lasted for you, but as I've pointed out I've had two break already. Look up product reviews on Amazon, there's scores of people who have experienced electric kettle failures. I couldn't even tell you when my memere bought the kettle I'm using now. It'll last me the rest of my life if I care for it properly. And your 1/10th time assessment is dubious at best. Takes me a minute or two to heat enough water for two cups of tea. Longer if I'm heating more, but it's not like it takes 30 minutes to heat up a kettle. Even a full kettle is less than 5 minutes. I'm sure an electric kettle is faster, not denying that. But you're not really saving all that much time. --- https://i.imgur.com/ZwO4qO2.gifv Bluer than velvet was the night...

Your method is dated.</quote> My method may be dated, but it's superior in that stovetop kettles are far less inclined to break. Cool that yours has lasted for you, but as I've pointed out I've had two break already. Look up product reviews on Amazon, there's scores of people who have experienced electric kettle failures. I couldn't even tell you when my memere bought the kettle I'm using now. It'll last me the rest of my life if I care for it properly. And your 1/10th time assessment is dubious at best. Takes me a minute or two to heat enough water for two cups of tea. Longer if I'm heating more, but it's not like it takes 30 minutes to heat up a kettle. Even a full kettle is less than 5 minutes.

Honestly if people got up a little earlier they wouldn't have to be worried about being late for work because their water took so long to boil. Which is a moot point since coffee has more caffeine in it so if you need caffeine to wake up you should be drinking coffee anyway. Which is also silly because caffeine isn't nearly as effective until an hour after waking up From having lived with and without an electric kettle, they're one of the first things I make sure I have in an apartment. Somehow I have 2 right now. It was words being in America and trying to make tea in break rooms. I asked people what they did and they looked confused and said they microwaved water... Yuck. No wonder Americans don't like tea. You don't use kettles and you microwave water to drink Microwaving water isn't that bad. I use to do it for hot chocolate all the time when I was a kid.
