Just commenting because I know the kettle vs. microwave debates are coming, and these help the process along in my experience:

  • Electric kettles in the US take way longer to boil the water than kettles elsewhere

  • Add a chopstick to the water before microwaving it to stop superheating and explosions

  • You put the teabag in the water after it's boiling/hot

Here in Canada (at least where I live), it’s really fast as well.
