Although i like things that are simple and just work, dont fix it if it aint broken, and hate over-engineered technology... It still is funny to me that if we want to heat things up, we do it by running current through a piece of metal. Isnt there a more efficient way? I guess not or we would be using it.
Every other method is too unreliable. Sure, heating water by letting it sit in sunny weather is technically infinite efficiency, but the weather doesn't care about your tea.
Induction stoves and microwaves are improvements for certain scenarios.

I just started using a French press because I was sick of making 4 cups just for myself in the drip machine. Been meaning to get an electric kettle.
A lot of people probably use the hot water tap on water dispensers now.
Tap water rarely goes anywhere near boiling temperature
I don’t know. Dispenser water has helped me make ramen and tea. Thats about all I need. If I want to boil potatoes, I’ll use the stove, or a crockpot.
Ewwww
I rarely use all four elements on my stove at the same time so 99% of the time the kettle is sitting on an unused element instead of taking up counter space like an electric kettle would.
It you put the electric kettle on your stove it doesn't take up counter space.
If I turn on the wrong burner?
Right now, that just heats up a kettle that's designed to be heated up by an element underneath it.
If I have an electric kettle on that burner? I got a melted kettle and possibly a fire.
Important safety tip: One of the most common causes of fire in the home is people putting stuff on the stove that isn't meant to be there.
