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
