Thank you. Between our lower outlet voltage and my strong aversion to taking up unnecessary kitchen real estate, I’ve never seen value in an electric kettle.
Now to get back to the British/American animosity, I rarely drink tea. I use my kettle to heat water for coffee in the French press.
I do enjoy a good herbal in the winter months, but something like Earl Gray is a rare occasion for me.
After your, rather notorious, party in Boston, I’m just glad you’ve upgraded to using hot fresh water, rather than cold salty water.
It’s also worth noting that tea, like coffee has a WIDE range of qualities. I’ve found most/all American teas to be well below par. This is particularly prominent in earl grey. Most earl grey sold in England is, quite frankly, shit. You only really notice when you have the good stuff.
I’ve heard that about tea but have admittedly never had or even seen the good stuff. I had some high end teas in Asia, but they were a different genre.
As a Brit, using a whistling stovetop kettle is perfectly acceptable for tea making!
