Let me try to run the kettle thing down real quick:

1. Americans generally make coffee rather than tea and we have a different kind of machine for that
2. Our mains voltage is so much lower than the UK's that an electric kettle takes too long to be worth using for heating up water for other purposes. They were just too inefficient here to become the beloved, universally owned kitchen appliance they are in the UK
3. There is however a similar thing here called an electric hot pot, chiefly found heating up instant ramen in university dorm rooms where other cooking appliances are not allowed
4. Most Americans are bad at making tea because we have so little practice at it. Some Americans get too into it and buy one of those old-fashioned metal kettles you put on a stovetop and wait for them to whistle at you
5. In the UK the electric kettle has been omnipresent for so long that everyone there just calls it a "kettle", then Americans hear them and think they're talking about those old-fashioned whistling things
6. This then produces a derail that is probably happening somewhere on the SA forums at all times

That electric auto-kettle thing seems useful if you drink tea or french-press coffee on a daily basis, but like a silly waste of space if you don't. Most Americans don't drink tea on a daily basis and coffee is still more of a thing we get from another similar silly device that specifically brews only coffee, or from a takeout place like Starbucks. If we DO get the urge for tea, we just boil water on the stove in a real, old-fashioned kettle.

There, that's the entirety of the cultural disconnect about that.

So do I. A nice metal one. I don't drink tea very often as I prefer coffee but some days it's like "I'm sick of coffee, it is now tea o'clock."

Most Americans do not have a kettle and it's also very common to microwave water. The one place I worked got a fancy pants, big water heater thing that heated water to tea temperature whenever you wanted it. I swear it ran on magic. I drank a lot of tea at that job but mostly because nobody else could ever seem to be assed to make coffee so I brewed a pot literally every time I wanted a cup. I was like "bump this noise."

When you put it that way, it sounds pretty American. Deep fry the whole teapot and you got yourself a brand new American Tradition.

We have an instant hot water tap installed in our kitchen sink that produces 150-degree water on demand. It works great for both coffee (my preferred drink as an American) and tea (my Kiwi husband's favorite).
