in australisia we have 240v :smugmrgw:

isn’t it the total wattage that matters anyways? 2.4kw is the maximum power draw

yeah, but most of the time in the US this is going to be ~1.5kw

1875w in theory but we also have crumbling infrastructure. i dont like putting more than 70% of the breaker amps on a circuit.

heat pump tech would not work well for kettles i think. delta t needs to be too large. as soon as you involve a phase change, latent heat of blah blah

also on cold days it would cool your kitchen who wants that

timed boiling 500 ml just now, kettle did it in 1 minute 49 seconds, microwave in 5 minutes 50 seconds.

and, yeah, since if you do drink tea you'll probably pay the $5 for temperature control on the kettle, and tea is for sure better if you have *some* idea of the temperature (and the minutes you stand in front of the microwave staring at the water will not be a good method).

Do you have one of those weird 200w Japanese microwaves they use for baking? 90 seconds in my microwave gives me 200° on the button, which is low for how I like to brew coffee but is exactly what my wife uses to brew tea. Perfectly reasonable for reheating.

We use a slow American kettle for brewing, microwave is just for reheating.

as you made me do math at the small hours of (e: saturday morning): gently caress you, never post again

more realistically: you're just wrong.

raising 0.5 liters of water from 10 degrees celsius to 100 (that's from the tap, here, to boiling) requires ~0.05 kWh. which done over 90 seconds becomes 2 kilowatts. and as microwaves are at best around 60% effective unless you have a microwave that draws 3300 watts you're simply full of poo poo.

No love for your made-up things.
microwaving water seems like a weird hassle but it's not going to affect tea quality

microwaving coffee will burn the poo poo out of it and it tastes like loving ashes, get that poo poo out of here
