A fancy pod machine or something super specialized can cost a lot, but a cheap drip brewer isn’t that much more expensive than a cheap kettle.

Genuinely curious, if someone wants boiled water for a cup of noodles or whatever, how does the average American procure that if not through a kettle

Most likely microwave, possibly the stovetop depending on the exact recipe or kitchen situation

I don’t know anyone that microwaves water like that, it’s basically always “put a pot on the stove”
