Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles?

Yeah even with our slow, low wall-voltage, having a dedicated boiler is fucking nice. Takes up some counter space, but it’s worth it.

Cocoa, tea, coffee, whatever - it’s nice. And the vibe is nice.

    I only know both in the form of milky chocolate.
    
    And some are intended to be stirred into water because it contains powdered milk.

Agreed, works well for serving dried oatmeal to a table as well - the bottom doesn’t get quite as hot as a stove kettle or microwaved container.

Most of my friends have electric kettles. I like a nice pot of tea or french press of coffee / yerba mate yet I still have an auto espresso machine.
