Kettle owner here. They're extremely efficient at heating water, often boiling a full load in under 8 minutes. Some models can be set to heat water at specific temperatures as well, making them a necessity for brewing different kinds of tea at their optimal conditions. Green tea for instance works best around 180F while black tea at 212F.

I have an instant hot water tap that dispenses boiling water. I don't understand why it's not more popular with tea drinkers...
Why would anyone need boiling water 24/7 when you can have it on demand in 3 minutes?
Why would anyone need an fancy indoor flush toilet when they can just go to the outhouse?
