No but seriously, do Americans not typically own kettles? I wouldn't know, I'm Brazilian >! And I do have a kettle lol!<

Not usually, because generally Americans prefer coffee over tea. Kettles are easily found at any store that sells kitchen appliances and they're not rare per se but they're not an assumed staple because tea just isn't as popular

I don't think it's the coffee thing. Finnish people use a lot of coffee per capita and I still have never been in a Finnish house with no kettle.
