    I thought this one was also to do with their power being on a lower voltage so Kettles take longer?

    But it’s still super weird. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      not that much slower, it’s mostly dependent on the amount of water. We just don’t drink tea (the main reason for a kettle) and coffee makers are basically just kettles so…

            Ah the company that convinced people that adding DRM to coffee was okay because they made it “easier” to make coffee (meanwhile I’ve faught far more with every kurig I’ve encountered than any $5 drip coffee machine I’ve ever encountered)

            Is there a generic (non-brand) name for these boiling-water faucets? (That’s not a mouthful like “boiling-water faucets”). I think we call them quookers here, which is also a brand name, and I slightly dislike that practice. I mean, “brand name for generic thing” is very common, but the brands and things differ per country, so it’s like a layer of jargon to decipher.

              I dont think there is. There are, however, actual instant hot-water dispensers you can install as an extra sink faucet and they are amazing.
