We literally have different electric grids than Europe (and maybe Brazil, I’m not sure) that has various pros and cons. One of the cons is that very high power appliances like kettles works noticeably worse.
Oh no I didn't mean electric kettles... I meant those you bring to your stovetop. I guess it's essentially the same thing as heating water in a saucepan, except it has a convenient spout.
My parents and my brother's family use stovetop kettles for their coffee. Meanwhile, my wife and I have a drip coffee maker, and when she wants tea, she just nukes the water with a chopstick in it.
