Do British really think tea is affected by the method the water was heated?

Microwaves are between 60-80% less cozy than kettles, so that's a pretty big impact

But electric kettles are a modern abomination like the Beatles.

Shouldn't you heat your water on a coal stove like a proper Englishman?

They do and they're horribly incorrect.

Microwaving your water is just wrong, partly because a kettle is more efficient and doesn't make the water go all foamy and weird, but mainly because it's WRONG!

Your microwave makes water foamy?

I think you have a problem with your water, not the microwave.

Possibly, but I've only ever tried it once so it's not a very scientific study
