    The amount of time it takes for our US kettle to reach temperature is ridiculous. My wife and I have a kettle that I only really use when I make us a pot of tea. It takes about 5 minutes to bring a liter of water to a boil and it doesn’t get much better with less water. If I’m just making one cup, I’m just gonna put it in the microwave.

    I’ve seriously considered getting a 220V outlet installed just for a proper kettle. We like our hot beverages, so I kinda think it would be worth it.

      Might need to descale your kettle. Mine doesn’t take 5 minutes to heat a liter, and it’s on 120v.

      • empty the dishwasher
      • get the pour over setup
      • check my email

      All before being ready to pour
