Britties think they're better, even though the concept of science seems to escape them.

The British sent us Beatles and Monty Python, let them have this.

I like my electric kettle because it has temperature settings for specific tea leaves/types and it has a large volume. But if I just want to boil one cup, the microwave is a no-brainer.

Have an electric kettle. It's slower than kettles in the UK and Ireland as it maxes out at a lower wattage.

Ok, Brits. Educate me. What's the benefit of a tea kettle over heating water in the mug you'll drink it out of in the microwave? (Assuming you're making one cup of tea.)

Erm, the microwave is faster and more efficient at heating water.

I think most use a kettle on the stovetop.

wait people make tea in the microwave? gross lol

Could someone explain why it matters? Is microwaving water for tea akin to instant coffee or Keurig to snobby coffee drinkers? (I nuke water for tea, but when it comes to coffee I use distilled water, fresh beans, a scale and it's kinda ritualistic)

If you're british and lacking a tank, you can always use a gatling gun to heat the water instead

Truly the superior hot water

Just recently I learned about different temperatures for different teas and coffee. Now I know why my coffee was coming out burnt tasting, and why my green tea didn't taste right.
