Not true. Electric kettles have been common in the US for as long as there have been electric kettles. My former grandmother-in-law in Boston had an ancient one and she’d be about 130 now.
It’s also regional - the mid-Atlantic to Northeastern states had kettles as “early adopters.” We had a Reverware whistling tea kettle that went on the stove. Purchased in 1953, it recently gave up the ghost.
Ooooh recipe, please! I love my chai tea from Trader Joe’s but would prefer to make my own mix. This sounds wonderful. Perhaps a cold brew to make the concentrate to freeze?
at $200 for a kettle, that’s nice… nope.
I’ve now spent 20 minutes googling recipes…
I do this all the time. My accent is a mess…
I’ll buy a ticket!

They are much more than a kettle. These are “instant hot water dispensers”.

Counter-top options start at only $60. That is a bargain, with good kettles often being $30.
Uh huh. All I need is one more thing on a counter. I do have one of those $30 kettles and it works a treat.
Still nope, but it’s allowed me to procrastinate for quite a while now!

Well as long as you have a kettle you are set.

I think I bought my stovetop kettle at a second hand store 40 years ago for a dollar. Still heats up water just fine.
It takes all of about 3 minutes to boil the water for a pot of coffee on my propane stove. People must really love spending money to pay $60-$200 to have boiled water instantly.
No wonder they’re so upset about a cancelled night they can’t rebook 
This is my thread so I’m going to take the liberty to close it before it goes down the snark drain any further.
