    Electric kettles have been available at every American supermarket superstore for literal decades.

    Yes they aren’t ubiquitous here in the way they are in the UK and elsewhere, but they’re absolutely not a rarity at all.

    Sincerely, somebody who has been using an electric kettle for almost two decades.

    edit: wrong word. I meant places like Walmart, not places like Safeway.

      The people that don’t have kettles don’t drink tea. Pretty much everyone I know who drinks plenty of tea have kettles, and everyone knows that they’re an option.

        Well considered it was only 5 days ago that I made this comment, you successfully clocked me as a tea drinker and you might be on to something with your theory.
