Fun fact, due to the power difference in the US, kettles are much slower here than some other places. You can run a 3kW kettle on the grid in the UK, and boil a single cup’s worth of tea water in about 45 seconds. In the US, most outlets won’t allow more than 1800W, or 1.8kW, so the best kettles will take almost twice as long.

That’s almost a minute and thirty one seconds! Daft.
I just start the kettle first, by the time I’ve got my mug and tea all gathered up the water is ready.
