I have a Le Creuset stop top kettle that I use because it's the only thing that whistles at me these days.

I have one I’ve used since the panini started but I’d never really had one in the house before. Before that you just microwave your hot water
I’m still not convinced this kettle is all together a better alternative
Ok I’m totally hoping that your phone autocorrected pandemic to panini cuz it’s freaking hilarious!
Maybe the difference isn’t so much whether or not you have a kettle but whether it’s electric or not? There’s lots of mention from US PSers of stove top kettles but I don’t know anyone in the U.K. who has a stove kettle. Here electric kettles are ubiquitous - I’d almost hazard a guess that every house nationwide has one.
As an (uncultured) American, I like my water temperature HOT (gasp! microwaved!) to brew my oh-so-fancy tea (in a bag... damp string and soggy paper tag stuck to the side of the cup...), so I'm intrigued by this different water temperatures for different teas. What is this magic?!
I've just read that most Americans don't use/own kettles. Is this true?
If it is true, how do you make a cup of tea?
I live in the US but I use a kettle for most of my hot water needs. Using a microwave to boil water is an abomination! How do you guys live with yourselves?
I feel like microwaved water has a weird taste to it. But then again, I’m very sensitive to the taste of water. I know some people aren’t. Plus, the mug gets too hot! At least we’re not talking about drinking refreshments in designated cups. I have a pet peeve where when eating or drinking, every food or beverage has its assigned place. My cousin on the other hand, loves to drink cold water out of mugs and it drives me insane. She will be holding a mug and I’ll assume she’s drinking tea or coffee. NOPE. Ice water. Just kill me. Lol.
I have an electric kettle that I use all winter to make tea. This is why my teeth are yellow
When the weather gets warmer, and I don't drink so much tea, I put it away.
The Keurig machine is great for a quick cup of tea. I just run plain water through it, and a tea bag in the cup.
Noooooooo you’re killing me! At least it’s a Bruce Springsteen mug!
@Daisys and Diamonds I'd be in trouble then, I don't even own a dryer, everything goes on the line! I find it really interesting how we have so many cultural similarities, then a few quirky differences.
