Britties think they're better, even though the concept of science seems to escape them.

The British sent us Beatles and Monty Python, let them have this.
I like my electric kettle because it has temperature settings for specific tea leaves/types and it has a large volume. But if I just want to boil one cup, the microwave is a no-brainer.

Ok, Brits. Educate me. What's the benefit of a tea kettle over heating water in the mug you'll drink it out of in the microwave? (Assuming you're making one cup of tea.)
The kettle is much faster.

Have an electric kettle. It's slower than kettles in the UK and Ireland as it maxes out at a lower wattage.

I think most use a kettle on the stovetop.
Could someone explain why it matters? Is microwaving water for tea akin to instant coffee or Keurig to snobby coffee drinkers? (I nuke water for tea, but when it comes to coffee I use distilled water, fresh beans, a scale and it's kinda ritualistic)
At the end of the day, everything is just atoms moving at different wiggle rates, that's the technical term. It doesn't matter what makes them wiggle faster or slower.

If you're british and lacking a tank, you can always use a gatling gun to heat the water instead
Just recently I learned about different temperatures for different teas and coffee. Now I know why my coffee was coming out burnt tasting, and why my green tea didn't taste right.
Often burnt coffee taste is from people leaving the coffee on the hot plate for way too long.
Truly the superior hot water
