      Americans who drink hot tea have them (source: have had one for like 20 years).

      Americans in general are just more hot coffee cold tea people. Exceptions abound of course, but in generalities.

      There is literally a kettle on the left lower side of the image (likely deliberately as it seems awkward having it in front of the air fryer like that)

      There’s literally the handle of an electric kettle on the left side.

      No this is something far worse: someone in the UK whom has strayed from the light and committed heresy!

      May the Tea Gods have mercy upon them, for I shall have none!

      We have an electric kettle, husband uses it for instant coffee; before we got together he used the microwave to boil water. The kids use it for tea. I use it for hot water for Moka pot, boiling water for grits, whatever needs hot water.

      Electric kettle, microwave, and coffee grinder are the only appliances that live on the kitchen counter, all the other things are in the pantry.

      I am an American and i own an electric kettle and use it frequently. I switched to an electric kettle after accidentally turning my microwave into a smoke bomb when I put instant ramen in there and forgot to add the water. Now I only make instant ramen with hot water from a kettle or on the stove.
